Ok, Wisconsin Freepers: is WI a “voting day” state where the Rs do better, or an “early day” state where the Ds usually do better?
I guess I don’t understand how voters say they trust Romney more with the economy and yet these polls show Obama in the lead? Its a well-known fact that the economy is always the driving force behind presidential elections.
I’m in Marshfield, WI and find it very hard to find anyone who admits to supporting The One. Can’t answer your question though since I voted absentee in my home state of Tennessee. I think were it not for Madison the Commurats would only garner about 68 votes statewide.
It’s hard to say. The real early voting starts Monday with a two-week window for in person absentee balloting, so the people who already voted are real absentee voters.
During the recall election, the unions and the dems pushed hard to drag their voters from every crack and crevice of Milwaukee, Madison, Racine and Kenosha. They had vans constantly pulling into the early voting locations. It was causing a lot of concern among Walker supporters.
Even though I’m in the thick of it, I’m not sure where the race is. My instinct is that Romney will win, but it’s hard to predict what will happen in the northern part of the state. It doesn’t feel like there is much passion on the democratic side, and that may drive the turnout down.
Personally, I find it bizarre that Wisconsin will have re-elected Walker, then send Tammy Baldwin and Barack Obama back to Washington. That’s why I think Romney will squeak out a win, the democrats aren’t out in force like they were during the recall and the energy isn’t there.
It’s too bad Tommy Thompson has run such a lackluster campaign. Tammy Baldwin is one of the most clueless human beings I have ever talked to. She just does not get how the world actually works.
Since we don't register by Party, we have no way of knowing, except by self reporting.
