You sir are ill-informed.

The recall effort against Darling is well staffed and well funded. Darling herself has been a bit lazy in defending herself. I have been in a room with her where she said that she will stay in Madison and go about her business and will count on donors to step up and defend her.

Alberta is a good legislator, but follows the model of much of the modern Republican right - not much fight and a moderate who only skews toward conservatism because it is expedient for election efforts.

You are naive if you don’t think she has a chance to be beaten. The southern half of her district (liberal northshore Milwaukee) is very motivated to remove her from office.

Darling won in 2008 by a 51-49. You’re delusional if you think she’s a sure thing in a recall. Her opposition doesn’t give a rip what Belling or Sykes says and they will draw outside money to drive and already-organized GOTV effort against her.

Now that I review the situation, I will revise my assessment. Darling has a 1 in 3 chance of surviving a recall election against Wasserman.
