VERY good chance to beat Walker and take back WI State Senate.
The WIS DEMS have 35,000 volunteers. TV and radio ads are up. Signs and bumper stickers are going out. MANY Dem groups INCLUDING the DNC, and the DGA, DCCC, MoveOn, Bold Progressives, Rebuild The Dream, and of course the WIS DEMS and United Wisconsin and many unions are all helping.
It will come down to turnout and groundgame. It the Dems can get enough of the 400,000 Dems and Dem leaners to vote this time who didn't vote in 2010, WE WIN.
The polls often OVERPOLL older conservatives with landlines. This happened to us in Maine this past November with our referendum to kill the right wing law to take away same-day voter registration. The polls were showing us winning by only about 3 or 4 points. WE WON BY 20 POINTS. THE POLLS WERE SCREWED UP because they under-polled younger voters and many Dem and Dem-leaning voter blocks.
Winning the WI State Senate is a VERY REAL CHANCE ! The 4 Dems are GREAT candidates, and if they take just ONE of those elections, the Dems will CONTROL the State Senate and can LAME DUCK that ultra corrupt corporate toadie asshole Walker in a big way.
So don't listen to the right corporate media spin. DONATE, CALL FROM HOME (can be done anywhere), and WORK LIKE HELL AND STAY POSITIVE !!

4. Wisconsin should be the wake up call to USA
I am sorry to hear of all the troubles in Wisconsin but wonderful hard working folks did not sit back and whine they went into action. We support you and hope your state is the beginning back to sanity.

6. Just finished canvassing!
Lots of enthusiasm and anti-Walker sentiment. We contacted a lot of people, handed out literature, and put up yard signs.

17. You MUST get the less dependable voters the hell to the polls. Do THAT, and you win.
You've got to go door to door and drag those less frequent voters to the polls kicking and screaming if you have to. You need to register new voters, and get them to the polls. You need to get the 400,000 who voted in 2008 but not 2010 the hell to the polls. EVERYONE VOTES. NO GOD DAMN EXCUSES !!

9. The recent reports seem to be an effort to depress turnout.
I'm embarrassed to admit that some of the poll results have had their desired effect, and demoralized me to a certain extent. Thank you for pointing out that the polls could be suspect, and that there is a lot happening that is not being reported by the corporate media, which is virtually all conservative. Good luck, WI!!!

23. How is it that the Sentinel has ENDORSED Walker ...
they say it is a single issue recall involving public service unions and they should tighten up the rules for
recall ....
Doused the campfire. Too bad for the primitives.

I saw a poll the other week, it was called the primary in Wisconsin and that poll showed that Walker walks (see what i did there) to winning. 400K? walker got more than both of the donks combined. However, there will still be another donation going to Walker and the Lt Gov.

It absolutely is, but its the opposite from what you want it to be. Its a wakeup call that Dems have shown their true face to a new generation of Americans who were previously ignorant of what tyrants the left are. I suspect you'll need to wait at least one more generation before you hold majority power again, but it will be much harder to indoctrinate the next set with the internet around.

I like it when they get hopeful about things that aren't going to work out for them, it makes their howls of outrage and anguish ever so much more entertaining when the FAIL whacks them in the nuts.

Libs do very well at the polls when they hide their agenda, and run on a conservative platform, just like owebuma did.
