Xoff's Blog

Commentary on state politics by Bill Christofferson, who often uses Xofferson or Xoff to shorten his 14-letter last name.

Christofferson, a recovered journalist and ex-political reporter, has been a Democratic strategist and consultant for 20 years and is now retired. He lives in Milwaukee.
He is the author of a political biography, "The Man From Clear Lake: Earth Day Founder Sen. Gaylord Nelson," published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

Getting it all wrong

Ah, if only I did even 25% of the things for which I get the blame. 

This is an email I sent this morning to the Associated Press:

An  AP story in Sunday papers by Scott Bauer includes this false statement, which I would ask you to correct:

Gableman 's appointment to the bench has been called into question by the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a liberal group run by Democratic Party operative Bill Christopherson. It implied in an ad that Gableman won his appointment only after donating $1,250 to McCallum 's campaign.

I have never run the Greater Wisconsin Committee.  I was a consultant to GWC from 2004 until spring of 2007, when I retired. I am now a member of its board.  Michelle McGrorty has been the executive director of GWC for several years, and runs the organization, as she did when I was a consultant.   

I have never worked for the Democratic Party, although I am a Democrat.

And my name is spelled with two fs.

Thank you.
