Extreme Politics Wisconsin Man and Wife Go Bonkers

He said Walker should be retained as governor. She said no way Dude. The argument escalated and spilled out into the yard:

A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.

Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.

Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.

The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.

“She was planning on voting for a certain candidate, and it wasn’t the candidate he wanted her to vote for,” Stelter said.

When Amanda Radle, 30, attempted to pull out, Jeffrey Radle, 36, stood in front of her, according to a police department statement. She nudged him with the vehicle several times.

Each time he would “retreat and re-establish his ground,” the release said. “At one point he climbed onto the hood.”

When she finally attempted to drive around him, Jeffrey Radle jumped in front of the vehicle and was hit. Aman da Radle left the scene and went to the police department to report the incident, the release said.

Can this marriage be saved?

Walker won his primary handily. No word on whether the Democrat primary victor, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, was the wifes choice.

In four weeks we’ll know whether he, or perhaps she, will have bragging rights.

Good grief…
