The author sounds concerned.
 
2012-05-22 11:47:11 AM
Wisconsin: worst in job creation. That is all.
 
2012-05-22 11:47:19 AM
I doubt an individual Democrat's failure will have any sort of lasting or national effect.

Wisconsin Democrats, on the other hand...
 
2012-05-22 11:48:10 AM
I love how we're in the home stretch of the recall and the media spin-machine is buying up all the Walker BS like it's going out of style.
 
2012-05-22 11:49:11 AM
What recall fail?
 
2012-05-22 11:49:56 AM
And I highly doubt that Wisconsin turning red will be the key to Romney winning the election. Methinks he needs a few more states to join the fray...and that's not happening. I still think Wisconsin stays blue this November, despite the best efforts of our punchable-faced governor.

Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective.

"Reported opinion"?

The out-of-state money is 20 to 1 in favor Walker, but he's managed to whine on Dittohead media and completely lie about facts so yeah, retards will keep him in office.
 
2012-05-22 11:51:36 AM
It's true that Walker winning the recall election would be pretty devastating. It's also true that the Democrats shouldn't have sat on their hands and let Walker run roughshod over everyone. If the majority of the voters in Wisconsin think sticking it to the libs is that high a priority...
 
2012-05-22 11:51:57 AM
Hey, if we tell the citizens the race is already over before it happens...

Then again, the author sounds VERY concerned about what the WSJ says.

Jennifer Rubin? How about no. She's the most in-the-tank Romney booster in existence and dumb as a bag of hammers. But I repeat myself.

I believe this about as much as I believe Walker's out-of-his-ass jobs numbers.

Ah, a Rubin piece. Chock full of bare assertions, GOP press release talking points, and maybe some anti-democrat righteous indignation peppered in?

LouDobbsAwaaaay: I believe this about as much as I believe Walker's out-of-his-ass jobs numbers.

I might agree with Ms. Rubin in a superficial way; the closeness of the polling does suggest that Walker's electoral support is a bit more robust than the Democrats had hoped.

And when he wins, the media will report that he won because Tom Barrett was hated guns.

1) The author sounds very concerned!

2) Walker winning might just be the thing that the Democrats need to kick their base into high gear. I'd prefer to get that ass clown out on his ass, but WI might just have to take this one one the chin to show the rest of us that the Right Wing will stop at nothing to gain power.

Failure in the Walker recall effort will be a huge blow to organized labor. Their last safe bastion - the public sector employee - will be on the ropes there and elsewhere. Labor has extended itself financially to get him and others in Wisconsin out of office and failure to do so will send a message of organized labor's increasing impotence.

The idea it also improves Romney's chances in Wisconsin seems like a stretch, though. Maybe voters there are fed up with the whining of Democrats and their money men and maybe it could make a difference but as fall approaches most of those cheeseheads are more likely to be concerned about the Packers' prospects than politics.
 
2012-05-22 11:55:18 AM
She's not aware of how bipolar we can be. Look at the northwest part of that state; Democrats do well in the Presidential race but will also elect Sean Duffy. Or in the past we'd elect Tommy by double digit margins but have two Democrats in the Senate.

/We're weird; it's in the water

Alphax: What recall fail?

He's reporting from the future timeline where Biff has stolen the almanac.
 
2012-05-22 11:56:11 AM
Yep, Walker beat the recall all right, and is certain to deliver the state Obama won by double digits last time to the Republicans. Time to sit back and have that victory cigar, Repubs, you earned it
 
2012-05-22 11:56:14 AM
TFA: The Democrats have been unable to drive a consistent message, careening from collective bargaining to Walker's purported dishonesty, the "war on women" and jobs and education.

All of this bodes well for Walker and ultimately for Republicans on the ballot in November, including Mitt Romney and the eventual U.S. Senate nominee. Really, is Obama's message any clearer than that of the recall forces? In the meantime, Republicans are organized, energized and well aware that if they can put Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes in Romney's column, suddenly he'll have many more options to get to 270 electoral votes.


Republican Strategy: Be insane on every issue so people don't know where to attack you, profit from their "inability to drive a consistent message."

/"obama bad" clearly better than "well, walker isn't creating jobs, he's waging war on unions, women, and education, and he's dishonest."
 
2012-05-22 11:56:37 AM
If Wisconsin wants to race to the bottom with the rest of the red states, let them. Honestly all you have to do is look at WI's economy and jobs numbers to realize that Walker is giving folks a case study on what the GOP platform will do to our country.

If nothing Walker (and the GOP as a whole) has done has kicked the base into gear by now, nothing will.

Will be interesting if Walker wins the recall but Obama wins in November
 
2012-05-22 11:57:55 AM
Money is the true power. The media and the message are for sale. and fark the DNC for not ponying up. Everyone in Wisconsin who gives a shiat needs to get their asses to the polls. Don't let them discourage you.

I read it and then I laughed.....and then I laughed some more. My favorite line is: "As you might expect, the finger-pointing is well underway on the side that is likely to lose."

Dims are such sore losers.

For all of the false equivelencies the right uses, when the opportunity to actually compare different states in the same economy is available all you can come up with is Fartbama?

Do you really believe that elections are decided by voters casting ballots based on politician's records and the merit of their ideas? Oh Danny, how could you be so naive? Dan, elections are decided by a series of blowjobs. In fact, our entire civilization is built on blowjobs.
