SCGOP consultant/blogger Wesley Donehue continues his one-year spiritual quest to "Be A Better Man In America's South" by heading up to Wisconsin to belly up to Governor Scott Walker's anti-recall campaign cash trough (and/or the four state senate recall elections also on the ballot).
He finds the campaign media boring. Not a bow tie or seersucker suit to be seen, apparently:
I guess if Donehue were running Walker's campaign, he'd be selling the repeal of collective bargaining, the defunding of the public schools, and the sloppy, wet, billion dollar tax kiss to corporations with all the style and panache SC Republicans bring to their biannual campaign media.
Aside from wondering if Donehue's mopey post is a foretelling of a Walker defeat tomorrow, I was glad to learn, with only 62 days left to sup from the Donehue's groaning board, that Day 303's lesson is how he sleeps at night, piously blogging how tolerant he is while greasing the skids to con voters into electing bigots who wake up every morning wondering how much bias and discrimination they can write into law (emphasis added):

This post isn’t meant to attack anyone. I honestly have no clue who is doing the web, mail, and TV work in Wisconsin. I just know its one giant cluttered mess. That’s not to say that it isn’t good. Some of the ads are very good. They just all look the same. The strategy seems to be more TV points rather than more creativity. It could have been more.
But we fall to the whims of those wanting normal. And we lose.

Part of me wants to blame the marketers. Another part wants to blame the clients for holding the marketers back. Today I’m blaming the former. Marketers don’t have to cater to the clients who want normal. In fact, we don’t have to take the clients at all. It’s up to us. But we all do, because we want money.
That right there is the ultimate problem. Too many people, and not just in politics, make money their top priority when they should make innovation their top priority.
In the end, innovation brings money. And fun. And change. And most importantly, inspiration.
Being in Wisconsin this weekend has inspired me. Find something to inspire yourself.
