Keith, if you are not the source of a leak, do you know who was?
Could it be a boss for one of the candidates?
It is interesting to note that on Monday November 19th, 2012 you posted on PATCH your support for Adam Neylon. That was before all of the candidates declared that they were going to run. Jeanne Tarantinno did not declare until the Wednesday after that and Ed Baumann declared even later.

Keith,
I'm looking underneath the circumstances of the story.

Here are the words from someone posting as Dan Bice: "Just because someone says he/she is a source doesn't make it so. I know exactly who gave me the deposition and other documents. It was not Keith Best.."

I'm wondering what sort of character the individual has who is responsible for handing Dan Bice the deposition of a current divorce proceeding and other documents in an attempt to intentionally ruin and destroy them. I find this particular sort of mudslinging irreprehensible.

Have you used an avitar on Bice's blog to make comments about this story, Keith?

The irony of all this is that these are the exact tactics the other party gets accused of. Nobody from that party is running for the 98th.

@Steve Edlund....I got the Avatar on FaceBook. I know and have seen a bunch of people use it. What's your point?
Oh and their is a Democrat running in the 98th.

I'm second in line with questions for you, Keith. You skipped over Chris B.

@Chris B,
No I don't know the source of the leak. The first I heard about this was from the Bice column.
That's when I became concerned that someone lied under oath, more than once, accusing my Governor whom I worked so hard for,and the Lt. Gov of discrimination. She wanted to be my representative. I decided to speak out for myself and my neighbors. It's true I support Adam Neylon, that's no secret. But at this point, I would be happy to have anyone besides Tarantino.

Keith saying someone lied under oath is a strong accusation. I don't think its appropriate for the Communications person for the Republican party of Waukesha County to make such statements. Have you read this transcript?

The real issue is why someone would release this info? This is nothing short of
negative politiciking possibly even Republican on Republican. That negative politicking will do nothing but give the Republican Party a bad name. The focus should be on the issues,

Look no further than the ex.

@Chris B,

I have a simple question for you. Do you condone lying.........under oath.......more than once????
It's a "yes" or "no" answer.

@ Keith Best-
Do you condone the use of a divorce transcript and dragging a Republican candidate through the mud in front of her school aged children by other Republicans? It's a Yes or No.

FYI, according to the GAB website no Democrat submitted the required signatures to appear on the ballot.

@Steve Endlund-I'll answer your yes or no question after I get mine answered. I would'nt want to skip over anybody according to your "Patch Protocol".

@Keith Best wrote, "What's your point? "

I've made my point Keith. And so did Chris B.

In case you missed it, President Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave over the laughter of Democrats reading and listening to the Eleventh Commandment being trashed in the lowest possible way.

No need to answer my question as to whether you posted on No Quarter.
Thanks, Keith.

Who would go to the courthouse looking for a story? Try a liberal gossip columnist writing a story. Why are you so convinced this is some big conspiracy? What evidence do you have? Interesting how Ms. Tarantino's supporters are always trying to place blame on someone else, despite everything in that story coming directly from her own sworn testimony.

JEANNE TARANTINO own words are discrediting her. Why would she make such a statement when her own attorney says its bogus.
JEANNE TARANTINO appears to be unstable or very confused.

One only needs to remember back to 2010 and see how the GOP treated Kleefisch when she was running for office (Tarantino was her manager). These two ladies are not going to put up with the men's shenanigans! Yeah, I suppose they are still unhappy that they didn't get their golden boy Bret Davis elected. Time for payback!

JD, I never said there was a conspiracy you did.
February 19th is the actual election since Democrat Prudent dropped out.
Take a listen to Belling's podcast for today. He pretty much endorsed a candidate.
I am not blaming someone else, but you sure think differently if a legislator says to you, "I hate the woman vote"

Hey JD!!! I noticed on your post of November 19, 2012 at 1130PM you supported Adam Neylon. That was even before al lthe candidates had announced. Looks like that was your first post. Interesting

I am sure YOU can figure that out :)

Papers weren't filed until January. Did you withhold your own public support until then? I supported Adam Neylon right away, because I've known him for ten years. I trust him, and respect him and hope he's my next Representative. And I honestly have no idea who you're referring to "hates the women vote" but I suspect that person must have a difficult time getting elected.

@Chris B
When did Eric Prudent drop out of the race?

OMG!!!
Doesn't know jack about the issues???
How can you make a claim like that?
Adam Nelyon worked in an assembly office where he was part of a team that actually wrote legislation.....you know, actual assembly experience. But keep writing as I appreciate your jocularity

Keith, that is like saying a busboy is qualified to be a chef, just because he worked at a restaurant. I am glad you appreciate it now stop twisting the story to fit your motives. Did you personally read the documents? Oh, I guess since you weren't the leak, you must not have. Knowing that, then you don't know anything other than what your buddy Belling has been saying. That is one sick puppy! Please point specifically to where Tarantino accused KLEEFISCH of firing her. She didn't. Yes, know know what I am implying. Funny how Kleefisch STILL endorses her. That must really peeve you to no end.

Chris, that is exactly what it is. Adam can't run on the issues or experience or endorsements, so this is all they can come up with. Jeanne has the experience, the credentials, the endorsements and she has and continues to raise money. More now than before this started. While these silly little boys spend their days and nights on Facebook lying about her, she is out going door to door and staying on task. The only thing the Neylon team has accomplished is to make Walker and Kramer look bad, not Jeanne or Kleefisch. Losers.

@JD - You said, " I was at the county party branch club meeting last Thursday and Adam was the only candidate to attend."
Was that on Thursday the 24th? Hopefully not in the evening.
I invited all the 98th Assembly candidates to the Thermal Energy Lab Inauguration at Saratoga STEM. Only 2 candidates had enough interest in public education and to RSVP and both said they would attend, Adam and Jeanne. Adam sent regrets hours before the event.
Filling the skills gap should be the #1 issue with the candidates. STEM is a very important tool toward accomplishing that goal. With roughly 50% of the state budget devoted to public education I expected every candidate to attend. Only Jeanne did.
Here's a partial list of the attendees who get it.
Tony Evers, State Superintendent DPI
Mike Thompson, Deputy State Superintendent DPI
Senator Leah Vukmir
Senator Paul Farrow
Representative Bill Kramer
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas
Mayor Jeff Scrima
98th Assembly Candidate Jeanne Tarantino
The Waukesha Board of Education (represented by the 98th)
The STEM Governance Board
School District Administration
School District Staff
Students of STEM and the WSD
Community members and parents
Presidents and CEO's of area manufacturing companies
Wisconsin manufacturers of products used in the lab who set up display booths

@JD - If I am correct, the "county party branch club meeting" on Thursday was for the North Central & Western area, which doesn't include her district. Though, the meeting for the South Central Branch Meeting is her district. And at that meeting, the only two candidates to attend were Jeanne and Adam.

Adam is honest? With friends like all of you? Birds of a feather flock together. And people have been taking notice. Bad strategy.

Agreed. It seems like a waste of precious campaign time to go politicking with politicians who can't even vote for you. Who is on Adam's campaign team? I know who backs Jeanne and it is a pretty impressive list. As far as this Patch story and sensationalistic headlines, I find them to be incorrect. Once again, she did not make any formal accusation or public accusation. She was being interrogated on the subject and she said she FELT LIKE it was because they wanted a younger white male in the position. Does anyone know Casey Himebauch, her replacement? Enter younger white male, former staffer to Walker and general GOP do-gooder. He gets around. I am not saying this is bad by any means, I am just saying that this crap of everyone saying she is a liar and saying that she claimed discrimination is INCORRECT. As far as Belling goes, he is a joke and his motives are very clear now. He is an Adam supporter. Too bad he didn't say so last week when he first regurgitated Bice's story, it would have saved me hours of listening to his Barbara Walters-esque voice.
