Was going to do an update, but it went long….
MADISON — A new report says Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates Shirley Abrahamson and Randy Koschnick spent $1.26 million through March.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign found Abrahamson spent $1.2 million through March 23. Koschnick spent $62,932. Abrahamson, the court’s incumbent chief justice, defeated the Jefferson County judge in the April 7 election
They spent $1.26 million, yeah Shirley spent the $1.2 million, Randy spent the $0.06 
. So Randy got outspent 20:1…. wow…
And we can’t blame this reporting on the Gazette, it comes almost word for word from the WisDC press release as John Faust points out at Wigderson’s…
But in a more self-interested point of view, WisDC’s PR does give me a favorable mention although they might have been attempting to include me as a “smear group”:
One individual, Randy Melchert, a communications consultant and former Republican Assembly candidate from Brookfield, spent $306 on signs to support Fernandez and Abrahamson’s challenger, Jefferson County Circuit Judge Randy Koschnick.
However, it appears that their math skills are a bit challenged:
Erstwhile Republican primary candidate and broadcaster Randall Melchert reported spending $306 in support of the Fernandez and Koshchnick candidacies.

Although in textual criticism we would call that a transposition..
Also – AFP supported Rose with a radio buy but not Randy to clarify my last post…
