hmmmm......they make a good point....Since this shows the governor vulnerable we must therefore conclude that we really are living in the US and not China

Glad they have to spend the money to get beat again.
If Baraq would come to Wisconsin to endorse the recall, it’s a lock that the Dems lose.

The unions spent $35 million in member dues on an Epic failure. You can’t expect them to admit it.

One guy was caught in an affair, the other in a district leaning more and more democrat (often a friendly incumbent survives in those districts simply because he’s well-liked and nobody wants to run against him).

Wisconsin Democrats brushed aside...$30 million. Who was it who said that money was almost enough to pay 10 union janitors’ pensions?

Well, the Dems have a president in constant campaign mode...may as well put everybody else in constant election mode. Rolling elections everywhere!
