Prosser/Kloppenburg campaigns prepare for recount?

  Though it is unlikely to yield differing results, the Kloppenburg Supreme Court Justice campaign is raising funds to demand a recount, which will be paid for by the taxpayers of the state of Wisconsin. Prosser is also raising funds to pay for legal fees as the lawyers and recounters fight it out. JS Online.
  This isn't a done deal yet, but Kloppenburg has to make her mind up by Wednesday. It appears that's the way she's headed, rather than let the voter count stand.
  So this is the way it works. The voters make their case, and the other side tries to find a way around the public will.
  Althouse has a compelling video that juxtaposes the two sides in Madison: the adversarial, noisy and vicious opposition that union members (one of whom might be a Chicago cop) mounted against Palin et al, while the tea partiers courteously let the union members have their thrilling bad poetry session for themselves.
Now, my question is: What is the argument that making that noise was a worthy and good thing to do? I know these protesters believe they are the good people with the right values. So explain this to me. Now, any crowd is diverse. Maybe there were respectful anti-Palinistas. Maybe the local Madison folk were polite and the rude ones were from out of town, perhaps Chicago. Maybe the letter "C" on that man's hat stood for Chicago. CPD. Chicago PD. I don't know. You tell me. Anyone could have a CPD hat.
  Hey, Madison, too bad about that loss. 
  Like Wonder Woman said, Walker was just saving your stupid jobs.
