Democratic Party consultant and staunch Doyle/Falk supporter Bill Christofferson took a slap at Joan Kaeding in his blog today. Most readers of this blog know that Oshkosh Public Library employee Joan Kaeding is a long time Democratic Party and labor union activist. Commenting on the "intrigue" in the AFSCME split over whether to support Falk or Lautenschlager for AG, Xoff writes:
"But the real shocker was when the representative of AFSCME Council 40, the county and municipal employees, voted for Lautenschlager. Council 40 had endorsed Falk the day before the AFL meeting, but their rep, Joan Kaeding, voted the other way. Kaeding apparently fell on her sword for Lautenschlager; the assumption is that Council 40 will replace her on the exec board with someone who will vote to represent their opinions."
Hmm . . . Here's a crazy thought: Maybe Joan voted her conscience? I mean, I realize that in the world of establishment party realpolitik and flackery conscience is not supposed to play a role, but every now and then we still do see some acts of integrity.
