"Now if Obama would lose the State also"

He very well may...there is a gynormous sub-text to this Dem primary recall that's going unreported.

Union stooge Kathleen Falk was hilariously submarined by the Milwaukee Mafia. Barrett had already lost to Walker less than two years ago! As Deer Stand points out, Mayor Tom won't even run on the restoration of public union collective bargaining. From a Dem strategery standpoint, there's no way he should have even been in the primary race.

But Barrett disdeigns getting down & dirty (sure there are negative ads -- I'm talking about street fighting) because he fantasizes about running for Feingold's old Senate seat in 2016. So he's giving the unions the finger in an election they created.

In 2011, the number of workers belonging to a union in Wisconsin was 339000. Union yobs have loooong memories, and are well known to vote/not vote to 'punish' candidates and even their own party.

(Keeping rough ratios intact...) When you consider Bush only lost WI in 2004 by 11384, and Bobo's cadre has already said they're playing off the Kerry map for 2012, if any minute percentage of those union yobs sit on their hands in November, Bobo loses WI -- a must-win state for The One-Term™.

Valid point, but the Senate races are in November and the Recall is June 5th. I don’t think a “close” Recall defeat for the Dems and Unions would have any effect.

I can’t remember his name, but another FReeper recently said: “My parents voted Republican their entire life. After they died they started voting Democrat.”

I live in Illinois but won't be buried here, I've never voted for a democrat in my life and refuse to be a democrat after I'm dead.

There are senate recall races along with the governors recall on the 5th. If the Dems flip the senate they will claim that was their goal all along and the MSM will cheer along with them and claim victory.
