RT @SEWisconsnPatch: #Darling recall organizer Kris Rowe confirms 30,000 signature total. More to come.
PING
?
Darling herself admits that the recall will move forward and has been fundraising and running positive advertising for a month or so.
It’s just a matter of when and then a battle of wills.
She’s 50/50 to survive.
It really depends on who runs against her. She can beat either Sandy Pasch or Wasserman.
Identifying party affiliation would be helpful.
Darling is a R
I disagree, with the 50/50 assessment. Although Darling needs to take this challenge seriously, she survived in a very difficult environment in 2008 and beat Wasserman. Also SEWI has a strong talk radio presence to bolster her defense. Sandy Pasch is a true red Leftist; she supported “Healthy Wisconsin” which would have doubled tax rates in the state to support a state-wide single payer scheme.
The Leftists may gain Kapanke on the left side of the state, but the good guys may take down Wurch in Kenosha or the Dim up in GB.
Enough of the demoralizing trollish attitude, we will beat these guys with steadfastness, hard work and confidence.
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.
You are wrong Sheldon.
