It's been a wild week in Wisconsin politics.
Nearly three weeks ago, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley announced that he was dropping out of the race.
He endorsed current Lt.
Gov.
Sara Rodriguez, whose campaign promptly imploded amid campaign finance issues that led to the firing of her campaign manager.
Rodriguez vowed to limp on to the August 11 primary, and Wisconsin Democrats (WisDems) were putting all their hopes on her to knock the radical socialist Francesca Hong out of the race, fearing Hong would lose the general election.
Unfortunately, Rodriguez ended her campaign, and WisDems went into full-blown panic mode.
That prompted them to ask David Crowley to return to the race and to get Governor Tony Evers to endorse him.
So Crowley held a press conference last Saturday announcing that he was back and Evers, on a trip to Africa, endorsed him.
Turns out all that work may have been for naught, and Crowley is on his way to an embarrassing finish in the upcoming primary, with one poll showing him a distant third behind Hong and Mandela Barnes.
The crosstabs aren't much better for Crowley.
The only group that he makes any headway in is with non-white voters, and even then he's losing to Mandela Barnes by 14 points.
We have to imagine that Barnes, who wins non-white voters and voters over the age of 65, is livid at how the WisDems have absolutely abandoned his campaign, especially when you remember that Barnes served as Lt.
Gov. under Evers during his first term.
Rodriguez didn't have a choice.
Her campaign was essentially broke.
The Democratic Primary is August 11, and it looks like the race is Hong's to lose.
