To say Wisconsin has gone from blue to red may be an understatement. It?s more like a crimson tide has swept over the Legislature, bringing a flood of conservatives to the state Capitol.
….Judging by most Republicans? endorsements and tea party ties, conservative bills will find a receptive audience among members of the new majority.
For example, when the next session starts, 34 Republican Assembly members (and Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer, an independent from Manitowoc) will have been endorsed by Pro-Life Wisconsin, a group that opposes abortion even in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk. The group, which also opposes embryonic stem cell research and any artificial birth control, also endorsed Gov.-elect Scott Walker ? who will be Wisconsin?s first governor endorsed by the group ? as well as Lt. Gov.-elect Rebecca Kleefisch, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, and eight members of the Senate.
