lolllllll. she double majored in math and political science. I think if anyone's going to do any explaining, it'll be HER. :D

Ha!

Not to mention having served in Congress longer. She's seen and voted on a dozen more budgets than he has, ALREADY.

MY SENATOR! She is so awesome and I think her winning was one of the major highlights of election night for me.

Okay, RoJo is also my senator, but I like to forget about him as much as possible.

At least you have one awesome Senator. I have two douchebags, John Cornyn and the newly elected Ted Cruz.

sigh, Texas.

[meimichan]

I'm sorry. I've heard Cruz is pretty much batshit crazy.

It really sucked losing another awesome senator(Russ Feingold)to fucking Ron Johnson. Bleck.

If it's any consolation my entire state government is now all GOP rule again and I remember pretty vividly how THAT went almost immediately after the 2010 elections.

[bushy_brow]

No "pretty much" about it, unfortunately. :-/

[teacoat]

This is the asshole that replaced Feingold? :|

[layweed]

ikr? wtf Wisconsin? You boot out Russ Feingold and elect this douchebag? Cripes, just look at his political stances!

Let's hope the election of Tammy Baldwin means Wisconsin is coming to its senses (or has, idk) and they boot this idiot out in 2016.

Child Victims Act

Johnson opposed a Wisconsin bill that would have eliminated the time limit for future child sex abuse victims to bring lawsuits and allowed an additional three years for past victims to sue.

Yep.

From what I remember, every other TV ad was a Ron Johnson ad(or a Scott Walker ad), and Feingold had almost none. Big tea party/GOP year as it was, and I think money(or lack thereof for the Dems) did play a role. I lived in Madison too, an area that was never going to vote for Walker or Johnson, and they still bought all the ads they could. It was ridiculous.

I REALLY hope we boot Johnson from the Senate in 2016. I live in Paul Ryan's district now, so I'm not sure who's the biggest idiot/asshole representing me between those two.

I love her. And I'm secretly kind of jealous of Wisconsin for having such an awesome senator.
