MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Both candidates in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race are making a final push as their campaigns enter the final frenzied day.

Justice David Prosser and Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg are vying for a 10-year term on the high court. They're making last-minute stops throughout southeastern Wisconsin on Monday to thank supporters and encourage others to vote.

Is there any significance to the fact that I have not seen any opinion polls about this election?

I wonder just how much voter fraud that the Unions/RATs will engage in in this election?

Praying for the Good Guys!

We will still see how the wind is blowing if conservative Justice David Prosser wins. If not, WI is done in spite of Walker's try.

Normally they wouldn’t take a poll on a race like this (though obviously this is much more high-profile than most judicial races). A lot will depend on turnout, which may be hard to factor for polls.

Take nothing for granted, though.

As goes Dane and Milwaukee areas, goes the election. Damn shame too.

Milwaukee will be a wild card...AA’s are not too pleased about their choice for Milwaukee County Exec. Likely would have been better turnout if their guy Holloway was the Dem candidate.

Man...praying for WI. If I knew or could figure out how to post a photo on my HD of my booby sign it would be so perfect for this story.

The bad guys are pulling out the stops. Got a call this morning from Prmeditated InfanticidePlanned Parenthood using a "000-000-0000" caller ID to bypass the unidentified-call blocker, telling me how Justice Prosser threatens abortion, and there are a fair number of anti-Walker, anti-Prosser signs around.

Wisconsin FReepers really need to turn out for Prosser tomorrow.

The Wisconsin State Police must seal the Illinois border for the next three days.

At least block buses.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser and court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg

She even looks like a liberal!

I have been wondering same. I view this as a very, very positive sign.

To me watching these unions try and extort money from the larger citizenry is like watching terrorist organizations try and convince the ordinary citizen that they are there to help them.

These unions just do not understand that the more they mouth off the lower their poluparity. Just like terrorists when they keep blowing up people the worse their popularity is.

Anyway, that there are no polls does not bode well for the unions.

Wisconsin Freeper ping here. I hope every WI Freeper will take their friends and anyone who will go to the polls tomorrow and help elect Justice Prosser! The beautiful state of Wisconsin is at stake, as Socialist judges will rule if Prosser is not elected!

As always, Freepers, if you want off my ping list just ask through FreepMail. Thanks!

Just heard a “news” story on local Chicago radio about some Walker aide. What a surprise...a last minute anti-Walker “news” dump. Poor timing for Charlie Sykes this morning on Milwaukee radio-—pre-empted for baseball pregame....

Hope that you are right. Makes sense, but after the drubbing that Republicans took here in Massachusetts last November, I remain dismayed until the fat lady sings.

In my area (Milwaukee suburb — very Conservative) signs for Prosser are running 40-1. Literature for Prosser is running 20 pcs. - 1. TV ads are running for Prosser 25-1. Radio ads for Prosser are running 25-1

Now you must figure that I watch only Fox News and listen to Conservative and Catholic radio. But, a lot of independent groups are kicking in for advertising for Prosser. Pro-Life Wisconsin, NRA, Wisconsin Manufacturers, etc. Some of the ads against her are hilarious. I especially like the one that uses her “little girl voice” over her witch-like countenance and she repeats over and over, “I never said I was tough on crime. Being tough on crime is not my message.” I am ROTFLOL.

I voted 2 weeks ago, BTW.

It might be that polls are bad for the unions and they don't want to reveal them.

It might be that polls are good for the unions and the left does not want to undercut their message about the urgency of union members getting out and voting.

The only poll that matters is tomorrow night's election result.

Sounds good. Here in NW Wisc, I get mostly Twin Cities media, so I don’t see or hear many of the ads. I think the yard signs around here are the result of a heavy union push, and aren’t truly representative of the overall sentiment (the DNR has a lot of employees locally). Mostly, it’s a conservative area.
