There’s a different level of engagement at this point in time, where the Dems are totally fired-up and most Republicans haven’t realized there’s an election coming yet. The Rats have been aiming at this for a long time, having failed in every other attempt to unseat Walker, so they are all-out. And it’s true that while WI is improving, it takes longer to see tangible evidence of many of Walkers policies and of course everyone expects instant results.
Has the RNC done ANYTHING to show they have Walker’s back? Or have they basically just left him twisting in the wind?
I doubt lessons have been learned from the David Clarke episode, and Walker's victory will mirror Clarke's.
For those not in the area, David Clarke is Milwaukee's DEMOCRAT sheriff. He's conservative, and he's black. The Dem County Executive used $400,000 of his Daddy's money and Michael Bloomberg kicked in another hundred grand to pound Clarke.
This massive overreach backfired--it lit a huge fire under the conservatives in Milwaukee County and many of us crossed over to vote in the Democrat primary. Result? The Man in the White Hat emerged unscathed.
