Ultimately, if J B Van Hollen is re-elected, he is going to stand for the same things he stood for before. He will support the the staple "Republican" causes. He will stand up for the Arizona Immigration law, fight Health care, and fight against gay rights. Yes, he has done, and will continue to do, good. Under his leadership, the crime labs in Wisconsin eliminated a backlog of DNA evidence that needed to be processed and increased the efforts to stop sex crimes against children. A Van Hollen win would mean the continued efforts in this area, but would also keep a man in office with very right winged ideology.
A Hassett win could change that. It could bring the Attorney General position back to a Democratic standing. It would keep a foothold in Wisconsin for the democratic party, because as much as I do not want to admit it, a Republican takeover is possible. The people I have seen in Wisconsin fight against the injustice in Arizona, want more affordable health care, and a lot of them do support gay rights. Keeping Van Hollen in his position would mean one more voice to speak out against what I know a lot of people believe in.
The reality of the situation is that not many people are paying attention to the Attorney General race, and who can blame them. The Senate and Governor races are taking the front seat, so it is my prediction that whichever party claims the Senate and Governor positions, because I believe that one party will take both of those seats, will take the Attorney General Position as well.
