From Red State:
Liberals Continue All-Out Wisconsin Assault

Having failed to protect their place at the government teat by bravely running away during the legislative session, Wisconsin liberals have apparently decided to win the fight by trying to remove conservatives from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which will presumably soon decide on whether the law stripping the public unions of collective bargaining power was properly passed. In the crosshairs right now is purportedly conservative Justice David Prosser. Now, Prosser has already been the subject of shenanigans from the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal members - background on that is here. The gist of that particular case is that one of the Court’s liberal members accidentally-on-purpose leaked to the media that Prosser called one of the Court’s liberal Justices a “total b*tch” in a closed-door session about an ethics complaint concerning one of the Court’s other Justices.
Now, having lost at the polls, and lost in the halls of the legislature, the unions have figured that the courts are their last hope, and they have made Prosser (who they perceive to be pro-Walker) their next target. VerumSerum has detailed the Democrats’ involvement in the anti-Prosser campaign here. In an especially low trick, a Democrat-backed group has run a sleazy ad essentially making Prosser complicit in child molestation (from his time as a prosecutor), a trick so sleazy that the victim of the molestation has come forward denouncing it. In a debate, Prosser asked his opponent whether she would denounce the ad (not whether she would pull it, as she clearly cannot), and her response was, well, telling:
Liberals are simply refusing to accept defeat for their most sacred cow in Wisconsin. In a way, it’s inspiring, the way they bite and claw and cheat long past when the whistle has blown - inspiring in the sense that it shows us what we must be prepared to do in order to win these battles in the future. No longer is it enough to win elections and pass laws reflecting the wishes of the electorate, now we must be prepared to defend those laws from underhanded court-stacking at the hand of Democrat 527 groups willing to resort to any attack, no matter how scurrilous or dishonest. And we must be willing to fight Democrats inch for inch in the same way they have fought us - in Wisconsin and elsewhere.

Republicans have, of late, gotten very good at winning battles while losing wars. Look no further than Wisconsin. While the GOP got its legislative victory, the left is now intent on going gangbusters over recall efforts.
But before they even get there, the left is going after Justice David Prosser on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Leon has a good write up on this, but the nutshell here is very important — David Prosser is all that stands between the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipping to the left.
Do what you can to help re-elect David Prosser or the battle we just won will be thrown out by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It is that simple.
But there is more.
The GOP is not taking the recall threat in Wisconsin seriously. We’ve diverted our attention elsewhere and we need to gear back up. You need to pull out your credit cards and checkbooks and give every penny you can to the Wisconsin GOP right now.
Yes, you must.
You and I have both been championing what happened in Wisconsin. We will ultimately lose if we do not defend the ground we won.
The GOP is very good about winning the battle and losing the war. This is a war we dare not lose. It is time to put our money where our mouth is
