Early voting started today in the Scott Walker recall. Our local conservative radio personality, Mark Belling, said he went to vote in downtown Milwaukee. He gave up because vans were double parked with up to 20 people coming out of them. The dems are picking people up and bringing them to the polls. I think we need to learn from them quickly!
