Barrett's campaign has also targeted state job losses during Walker's term and national Republican policies that allegedly amount to a "war on women.....................Here we go again with the phony "war on women"
To: mandaladon
Unions that spent nearly $11 million on state Senate recalls last year have yet to air an ad on behalf of Barrett....................I wonder why!

I saw a yard sign this evening that said “Stand with Women”, they have nothing else to run on. I noticed the article said this was the first week there was parity in TV ads. That's false. They spent millions during the primary, all on ads attacking Walker. If anything, Walker's ads haven't been running very much. The barrage will come soon. Barrett's City of Milwaukee has the worst jobs record in the state and one of the worst in the nation. They couldn't have picked a worse candidate to run on a jobs platform. What I worry about is Republican turnout. We get very complacent, very quickly. The “Rats never do.

Belling had an interesting observation today, he went down to vote and there were VANLOADS of the usual suspects heading into vote for Tom Barrett....Turnout for Scott Walker is critical! It is going to be close with the fraud that is obviously happening....

It ain't over until the trunk-loads of "found" ballots start arriving, AFTER the Polls are closed.
I wouldn't be overly optimistic, knowing how Unions handle Elections (and Democrats handle Elections).

How does one stand with women by replacing Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch
with Mahlon Mitchell?

If I lived in Wisconsin, I would be chomping at the bit to get a chance to vote for Gov. Walker. You wouldn’t be able to keep me away. Don’t Republicans realize they need to TROUNCE this stupid recall and show up in droves for him?

And the unions poured money in from all over the country to make an example of Walker.
No mention of that...

Stoopid Democrats...they make it a choice between a Socialist Witch and the Same Loser who Walker beat 2 years ago, then they double-down on the tired old rhetoric and national talking points like “WOW” despite facts that show Walkers reforms and Act 10 are not only “working” but in fact “have worked”.
Let’s hope this time they’ve not only shot themselves in the foot but blown the whole leg off...

I sent Walker a contribution and I’m a government employee and union member here in PA.
The pensions, pay and benefits are out of hand for government employees at the state and federal levels and in many government educational institutions and local governments to boot.

The effort to recall Walker, which began after he successfully pushed to remove the collective bargaining power of public employee unions, has become a nationally watched battle over worker rights. Ah, the AP. They lie with such facility and ease!
The law did not remove public employees' collective bargaining rights over their corpulent salaries, only their equally corpulent pensions and bennies.

I was really hoping the Chicago PD would be making mass-arrests during the NATO protests. That would have kept the Madison vote count down.
To: mandaladon
Walker is going to win.
Here is why:
1. Most of us work.
2. Most of have noticed that the snotty "Recall Walker" stickers are on nicer cars than we can afford.
3. We have had enough of State employees complaining about not getting enough as they brag about going on vacation and buying land in the UP of Michigan to build a summer home.

Wisconsin Republicans do know how important this is. Walker had more votes in his primary where he faced a Madison protester who dresses like Abraham Lincoln than Barrett and Falk got combined.
Adding to that, I know several people who are planning on voting for Walker in the general, but voted in the rat primary.
Everywhere I go (although in Waukesha County where the GOP is king), I see pro-Walker bumper stickers, while the Recall Walker stickers seem to have been replaced with Obama/Biden 2012 stickers.
I can’t wait to vote for Walker and I know that the Victory Centers are full of volunteers working the phones for Walker. There is no sense of coasting.

Awwww...da poor widdle wibtawds!
Governor Walker has saved their butts and they’re too dumb to care.
