Yesterday on Saturday, March 6th 2010 came the endorsement from the movement conservatives who attended the 7th Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin's annual District Caucus.
In a room filled with no smoke (except perhaps the smoke emitted from Dan Mielke's ears) Sean Duffy was overwhelmingly endorsed by the members of the 7th Congressional District Republican Party. In stark contrast to the NY-23 race in which the RINO Dede Scozzafava was chosen by a handful of party bosses, Duffy (a Conservative Republican) was endorsed by 406 delegate votes (84%) -vs- delegate 78 votes (16%) for Dan Mielke. After several procedural and time-wasting votes, Duffy earned that 84% on the very 1st candidate endorsing ballot.
I had the honor myself to both speak in favor for the endorsement and to cast my ballot for Sean in the endorsement. Just before the balloting when Sean Duffy said he would accept the endorsement the room filled with electricity and many conservative activists in attendance uttered words like "Yesss!" and "Finally!" There was a real feeling among many of the delegates present that the wheels of history were being set into motion. This election cycle, this candidate, Sean Duffy will topple one of the most out-of-touch members of Congress, Dave Obey, author of the failed $787 billion dollar (so-called) 'stimulus' bill.
Dave Obey - Wisconsin's own Milk Carton politician
Don't let your office door in Wausau hit you too hard on the butt when you finally move home to Arlington, Virginia Dave!
TTFN,
