The campaign reactions tell the story.

You can see the difference in the integrity of the two campaigns by their reactions to this inane, imbecilic forum last night by two manifestly unqualified debate moderators.

There was a serious debate last night and Hillary won, says Hillary's campaign.

Obama’s site offers Americans the opportunity to comment on this travesty, "Post Debate: Any thoughts? If you're tired of a slash and burn politics that trades distraction for real debate, you don't have to sit idly and watch anymore."

Clinton’s site pretends that this was a real, substantive debate, "Hillary's Reviews Are In: 'The Winner,' 'Strong Presence,' 'In Her Element'" [Just like Hillary is pretending there was a primary in Michigan and Fla.]

Hillary is still the same, old, lying politician to which more and more Americans are taking a dislike.

Despite winning by large margins in Wisconsin's two most populous counties, Dane and Milwaukee Counties, Louis Butler lost a narrow race to to a contemptible politician who will remembered in the same muck as Joe McCarthy, Bob Kasten, and Annette Ziegler.

Lessons Learned

- Never let WMC get on the air first

- Speak clearly about what the campaign is about, as in a narrow, corrupt band of liars seeking power versus the rule of law

- Educate the public about the role of the office; it's an appellate court demanding impartiality

- Faced with money and lies, the Democrats need to sound an all hands and get public, on-air support from every Democratic official. I only heard from Herb Kohl this election

With only some 20 percent of the Wisconsin electorate likely to go the polls, high turn-out Dane (Madison) County and populous Milwaukee County can be expected to leave a big footprint in statewide election results.

That spells trouble for the Republicans in the state Supreme Court race.

The Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC)-anointed empty suit, Michael Gableman, will likely be clobbered because of his despicable racist campaign that has revealed Gableman as lacking the intelligence, even a pedestrian comprehension of the role of the state's highest appellate court, and the ethics to sit on the Court as an impartial judge.

Even Wigderson's Library & Pub, a rightwing blog in Waukesha, predicts a Butler win of 55%-45%.

The fetid politics of cynicism are on the run.
