My humble guess is that most of the people we saw on TV several months in demonstrations there in Wis....are the hardcore folks. The rest....are like these people who quit the union. It would be interesting to know....as Walker wins...how many ex-union folks voted for him.

The sad truth is that Obama has nothing to lose. He can snub the Dems in Wisconsin and he can snub the unions but, in the end, they will rally around him and pull out all the stops to re-elect him. His base consists of the “hard core” and they are well aware that, in the end, Obama is the candidate who will twist every right and every advantage at a national level to be certain that the independent contractor and individual worker (as well as the average taxpayer) gets the screws put to him so that the unions can suck up every last dollar Obama can send their way.

He didn’t have to go. The “first black president”, William Jefferson Criminal, had recently visited the state. Why would they need to see the half-frikken American?

And there’s always the outside chance that Barrett pulls off a surprise victory – in which case Obama would have been celebrated as a difference-maker.

That is probably why Clinton was there

So he can take credit and in any case he can still show how he tried to help while Obama had cold feet

Look at it this way...reverse the thought process...IF Obama thought Barrett had a ghost of a chance, he would fall all over himself getting there., so he could take the credit, bask in the glory.

That he avoids it, proves he knows Barrett is toast.

Thank the good Lord and the people of WI.

“I’m happy to meet him for a fish fry.”

There's the problem right there: it didn't meet the FLOTUS "healthy eating" silliness standards.

I’m no political strategist, but I don’t get it.

The 1-term Marxist is avoiding another shellacking.

Obama’s hides, throws Barrett under the bus, sends Bill Clinton, who can’t muster up, even a crowd of 1000 nutcases in Milwaukee last Friday. Obama is the kiss of death for any Democrat politician. Just watch and see how many Democrats will want Obama to campaign with them. Answer, none!!! It’s late, folks, but the Democrat Party needs to broom Obama right now, get rid of him. Force him to resign, like right now!!! They will not do it!!! So.......Obama will take a good portion of the Democrat Party down to defeat with him in November, 2012!!! On this very site, I have, over and over and over, urged Democrats to rid the party of Obama and his ilk. Just got laughs as a response. Who is laughing now Democrats??? GO SCOTT WALKER, ON TO VICTORY!!!

The Wisconsin branch of the American Federation of Teachers has lost some 6,000 of its 17,000 members. And membership in the state’s chapter of AFSCME has plummeted from nearly 63,000 to just 29,000 in just one year.

Wow...just wow...

No wonder the DNC and the Obama administration is nowhere to be seen...

Walker has already won the battle....he is just moping up....

This shows the absolutely vile hatred of Walker by union leadership...and the mindless waste of money... when even their own union goons are deflecting
