Pelosian Theory of Politics

Over at the Althouse blog we have a post on the signature collection for a recall petition of Wisconsin (Republican) Governor Scott Walker.

One of the things of interest is that for a recall vote someone has to run to take Governor Walker's place.  This leads to this comment at 1208 this afternoon:
You have to sign the petition to know who's running..

Its the Pelosian Theory of Politics all over again.
A parallel comment might be, if it is OK to run a recall against Scott Kelly, is it OK to impeach a President, an Andrew Johnson, a Dick Nixon, a ...?

But, on the other hand, we have the infamous Russ Feingold line:
This game's not over until we win.
Former US Senator Feingold is from my Wife's hometown.

My question is, how far is Russ willing to go to "win"?

  1. Until "they" win. At this point, I am uncertain that the Republican party has the energy or solidarity to repel any attempt to remove WI's governor.

    The current juvenile shenanigans displayed by the candidate roster is just appalling. The only clear winner in the GOP debates is Barak Hussein Obama. In spite of all his baggage (and the fact that I frankly am frightened by him), Newt is about the only one who has retained/maintained and intellectual approach to the "debates." I don't know why they don't just shorten the TV time to 3 minutes and give them each a tray of cream pies to throw at each other while uttering epithets regarding their estimate of either their opponents heritage or single digit IQ.

    America.....you are in far worse trouble than you can even begin to imagine......
