The basic question for this referendum, with regional variations: Shall the Governor/State Legislature accept federal funding for the expansion of BadgerCare in Wisconsin?
The results. The referendum passed with ease everywhere it appeared on the ballot. (Blue = counties + the City of Kenosha where Mary Burke received the majority of votes. Red = counties where Scott Walker received a majority of votes.)
A collective case of short memories. If you really want this to happen, voting for Walker was a big waste of your time.
Thinking only of himself -- i.e., positioning himself for a quixotic run for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination -- Walker defiantly, foolishly turned down the funds in 2013. He's just using you as a steppingstone.
And with a Republican Governor and the legislature firmly in GOP hands, this advisory will be ignored. Count on it.
For those of you who said "yes" to the referendum and "yes" to a second term for Walker, maybe this song will clear your head of its cobwebs. (Play it loud.)
