2. It' hard to pick the most despicable

Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Glen Grothman, Ron Johnson, Luther Olsen... the list goes on and on...

Vote Russ Feingold...

3. Your source is too old to be useful. Here is a more recent report

While I am also hopeful that there will be some justice and the outrageous Walker/GOP gerrymandering will be overturned, there have been 2 threads on this recently (that I saw) and neither had information that reflected what was happening because the sourcing links were too old.

The judge has stated that he is not taking the GOP bragging seriously, not a good sign for our side, though he did state that gaining partisan advantage appears to be the reason for the redistricting, which is a good sign.

Perhaps the most discouraging take-away, however, is the judge has also claimed that he has no clear guidelines to base his decision on -- but perhaps he will create them. I am optimistic, but also wanted to bring some reality into this discussion.
