I've been kind of puzzled by the whole recall thing too. The first person the Unions make a TV/internet add against and go after is Luther Olson (R-14). I was born and raised in the Wi 14th Senate District and my first political experience was campaigning for the Democratic nominee for State Senate in that District back in 1984 (before half the people on this board were actually born :->)
That District was gerrymandered to be a solid GOP district in the early 80's and remains so today. It is a long swath of mostly rural territory stretching from Clinonville in the northeast to Wisconsin Dells in the southwest and including strong GOP counties such as Waupaca, Waushara, Green Lake, and Marquette.
I find it incredibly puzzling that the unions can get off wasting money going after someone in about as safe a district as you can get. Most people who contribute are from out of the area and don't have familiarity with the district and the fact that they are tossing their money into the wind.
