This is just dumb. After Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett made his concession speech following his unsuccessful attempt to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker last night, one of his “supporters” approached him and slapped him across the face. Apparently, the woman asked Barrett if she could slap him. Barrett said he would rather hug and as he leaned over to hug her, he got slapped. Taken aback, Barrett walked away moments later.
Unfortunately, this woman was probably not the only one who wanted to slap Barrett for losing last night. But what could he have done? Refused to concede? Walker won fair and square. But a lot of people aren’t going to accept it and a good many of those who wanted to recall Walker aren’t ready to move forward.
BTW, do you see Tea Partiers behaving this way? I didn’t think so.

I should have driven up to the capitol, where local lefties were gathered for what they thought would be a celebration. I could have made a fortune selling pre-tied nooses to all those who became so despondent. It was a hoot watching the interviews on the local stations, listening to those who had their world collapse. Too bad.....so sad!

I predict another effort to recall Walker. The reason is leftists never, ever give up. They just keep pounding away.
The lesson to be learned is you cannot just win, you must beat leftists into submission (politically speaking). Scott Walker knows this and apparently so does Mitt Romney. Unlike John McCain, whose only goal it seemed in '08 was to lose gracefully, Romney is hell bent on winning.
God bless him. As a conservative who has always been suspicious of the man, it has really warmed my heart to watch Romney in action on the campaign trail. I know some people thought he would go soft after whaling away on Gingrich, Perry and Santorum. But it now appears that was all just a warm up. Romney may not be a true conservative and has his ideological weaknesses, but he is clearly in this to win. He has no fear of Obama and the left's sleaze machine. Every thing that Obama throws at him, he throws back even harder.

A woman slapped another woman in the face.

MUCH more useful, and appropriate, to have done the Monty Python Fish Slapping Dance.

That's liberals for you. As soon as you get on their bad side, they respond with threats of violence, and sometimes actual violence.
