Not at all. Garton said himself in conceding; he lost because of his own actions, not because of the failure of his supporters or the other candidate. If he didn't grasp that issue after Borst's lost 2 years, then he has no one but himself to blame.

Garton's tenure as Senate President Pro Tem was over, whether at the hand of the voters or at the hand of his own caucus. He has barely held on to his leadership position the last couple go-arounds and the addition of more conservative members to the caucus made it highly unlikely he could hold on to it, win or lose the election. The only way he could hold on to the power was to give in to the whackos just like he did with the marriage amendment and various other nutwing ideas from Eric Miller and Micah Clark. I believe Terry Corriden, the Democratic candidate, will have a good chance at winning this seat. As long as Walker keeps trotting out ideas like public floggings as an acceptable form of punishment, he should have no problem marginalizing Walker.
