understand this is just not about driving a wedge over the issue of late term abortion. this is about telling women whether they should have access to birth control and whether we re going back to little or whether we re living in a modern society. what can you tell us about the bombing that took place? it happened in the fox valley which is a very divided part of our very divided state. it s close to the place where joe mccarthy is buried. it s an area that sent a democrat to congress regularly. this is an area of the state that s crucial for republicans to win if they re going to win tomorrow. it s also an area where you really see the battle between the forces that want to drag us backwards and more modern forces if place and walkers cuts to planned parenthood which he implemented almost as soon as he took office, $1 million in cuts
have voiced support for walker but they re not showing at any campaign events with him because he could be legally toxic with their campaign. they can t afford to be seen in public which somebody that could be a huge liability after june 5th. this is why i cover wisconsin as much as i do on the ed show. this is all about citizens united. there is absolutely no way the democrats in this state or as walker loves to say, the union bosses whoever the heck they are, as if there s this money just pouring into this state from the clouds. it s raining dollars for democrats, that s not the case. what we saw here was 30,000 volunteers in the winter time go across the state and get signatures. the boots on the ground. now, i don t think that these groups that are falling into wisconsin and backing up scott
