Wisconsin approves of Tammy Baldwin — she gets what Ron Johnson misses

There is a reason why, in the new Marquette University Law School poll, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin has a 47 percent approval rating while U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson's approval rating is 28 percent.

While Johnson practices the politics of obstruction and gimmickry, Baldwin is a serious senator.

That’s evident in their dramatically different responses to the opening of deliberations by the House-Senate Conference Committee on budget issues. Johnson is still pushing for the sort of austerity schemes that have already failed in Europe and that reverse progress toward economic recovery in the United States. Even when the studies on which the Oshkosh Republican bases his backward thinking are discredited, Johnson refuses to recognize reality.

Contrast that with Baldwin, who is offering smart, detailed proposals that reject the failed austerity agenda in favor of job creation and growth.

with the likely hood of Hillary being the democratic presidential nominee, the turn out the vote the democrats have established with obama people will most likely rid wisconsin of Johnson and Kirk in illinois for sure.
