Democrats, losing ground in Wisconsin, play down recall election
LA Times ^ | 5/27/12 | David Lauter

Posted on 05/27/2012 3:44:57 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Recent polls have pointed toward a victory for Republican Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin’s June 5 recall election. But here’s the clearest evidence to date that national Democratic party officials believe their side is losing: Democratic officials are playing down the potential impact.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) insisted in a television interview that a loss for the Democratic candidate in the recall, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, wouldn't have any implications for other races, such as the presidential election.

“I think, honestly, there aren’t going to be any repercussions,” Wasserman Schultz said on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program. “It’s an election that’s based in Wisconsin.”

The Milwaukee and Madison polls have buses of democrats pouring into them constantly. Two buses every half hour in some cases. With no need for voter ID and multiple days of voting this may not come out in our favor.

Good observation and worth repeating. It is obvious that the Democrats are pulling out every stop to steal this election so that they can establish the "comeback kid" meme and give a boost to the flagging Obama campaign.

It is thus important that every good citizen of Wisconsin come to to vote on June 5 and smash this recall bid down. I believe that Walker can still prevail in spite of the shenanigans going on currently and a solid Walker victory will utterly demoralize the Democrats because they will know that they actually lost by a much wider margin.

DWS is the spanish fly of propaganda... she and others like her don’t speak what is, they speak what they hope you will believe what is. And for their cause, they will suffer any amount of shame.

Obamugabe. It’s probably been around awhile but this is the first time I noticed it. It’s poetic. It really rolls off the tongue. And so beautifully and truthfully descriptive.

As opposed to dishonestly, which is the way Debbie Blabbermouth thinks normally.

This woman is just pathetic.

Don’t get too over confidant.

That's right! We haven't won, until:

1 - Walker gets more votes; and

2 - there are no ongoing lawsuits challenging the election.

I am confused about this. Buses unloading people,clearly not Wisconsin residents, who are going into to vote.
Where are the poll watchers; the Republican party of Wisconsin; the RNC? Where is Fox News? The cameras should be rolling and getting a photo of everyone stepping off that bus.

Walker will win, but to me this is an attempt to get the rights guard down.

When the LA Times is saying that there is clear "evidence... that national Democratic party officials believe that their side is losing" in Wisconsin and is citing no less of a Dem celebrity than Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to make that point, you have to believe that the outlook for the 'Rats is bleak indeed.

If you know where the buses are, take your camera, get the bus and perps in the view finder then hit the "run" button. Upload to YouTube and be a hero.

I'm on the Left Coast, so I can't be there to direct.

It’s easy to overlook one issue in WI, 84% of workers are in the private sector, unions represent 8% of them, while 15% of workers are in the public sector and unions represent 47% of them.

Those facts suggest the real battle is between 15% of WI workers in the public sector who have stolen state government from the 84% of workers who pay the bill and want to continue abusing their power, not authority, to impose their will upon those who sweat and toil for their daily bread.

That’s tyranny of the minority taken to its destructive end without an iota of support from moral arguments from the inalienable/unalienable rights foundation upon which our Declaration of Independence was crafted.

Not all WI public workers are Rats. Unions are busing in collectivist thugs to go door-to-door in the precincts, make sure they vote the "properly" and "correctly" on the Recall.

it’s not uncommon for innercity precincts to have more democrat votes than registered democrats. i don’t understand how that can go on in silence.
