The 2 supreme court candidates are under water, too!
It is “the most important election of 2025,” the Wall Street Journal declares today. In the nation. That would be for a single justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The gold-standard Marquette Law School Poll, just out, suggests both candidates are “under water” 26 days before voting ends and that neither is all that well known to voters. That’s bound to change by April 1 when the big-money air war between them will blow out the cathode ray tube in our b&w Philco. (“Are you ready for the mud slide?“) On the red letter issues, the poll found a mixed bag. Early voting begins March 18.
Democrats want to preserve their 4 to 3 majority on the supposedly nonpartisan court. Susan Crawford is their candidate. She’s getting millions from soft-on-crime George Soros. Also from J.B. Pritzker, the billionaire governor of Illinois — one of America’s worst managed states.
Republicans are backing Brad Schimel, with help from Elon Musk, whose negatives are growing.

A little gerrymandering
If elected, Crawford is poised to divide Dane County into three separate congressional districts, should redistricting hit the courts. (It will!) The plan is to flood incumbent congressmen Bryan Steil of Janesville and Derrick Van Orden of the La Crosse area with Dane County’s rich vein of progressive votes.
That has national significance, given Republicans have only a 4-vote majority in the U.S. House of Reps. Candidate Crawford participated in an event with state Dem chairman Ben Wikler headlined, “Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.”
Also at stake in a divided court: Act 10 restrictions on government employee collective bargaining, abortion, voter I.D., maybe school choice — pretty much the entire Democrat(ic) agenda.
Marquette Law School poll
The Marquette poll’s big shocker? Democrats as a party are more underwater than the Titanic. Only a third of Wisconsin respondents looked on the party of Biden favorably, almost two-thirds (62%) said Phooey! That’s a 28-point lean toward unfavorable. Republicans, as a political party, suffer under a gap of only 5 percentage points.
Linking Schimel to Musk might work for Democrats. As the chart shows, his negatives outweigh his support. On two Republican issues: Voter I.D. and deporting illegal aliens, WI voters side with MAGA — decisively. But not on tariffs. Act 10 is also in trouble and Wisconsin remains almost two to one in favor of legal abortion. Schimel would be wise to push Crawford to declare that she is pro-abortion for the full term. One more encouraging find: education reformer Brittany Kinser has fewer unfavorables than the incumbent test cheater, Jill Underly.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Tying Susan Crawford to George Soros is the ticket. The billionaire stock market manipulator is responsible for a rogue’s gallery of catch-and-release prosecutors like like Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Kim Foxx in Chicago, George Gascón in Los Angeles, and Alvin Bragg in New York.

If Soros money wins the election, signifigantly higher property taxes will arise faster than a rabbit running from a fox.
I don’t understand the negatives on Musk. He’s the richest man in the world, smartest guy around, entrepreneur, futurist, humanist, gets things done, embraces free speech, a businessman’s approach to accountability, likes science fiction and a good sense of humor– someone I’d happily drink a beer with. The left’s hatred will be their demise.
