Scott Walker 'the liberal slayer' wins one for the producers(he is our Tea Party model hero)

Wisconsin count as of 11:30pm EST , Walker 54%, Barrett 45%. NBC calls it for Walker back at about 10pm.

Walker hero

It was a classic.

I watched MSNBC all night flipping to FNC only briefly from time to time. Over at ‘MSNBC/Destroy Walker-BC’ they were predicting such a close election that they said it would probably require a recall. 'Be prepared for a long night' they repeated. Dem are knocking on a million doors today, boots on the ground', they were calling those who didn't vote in 2010 to shame them to get out and vote.

Then with 1% counted Walker had 63% vs 37%, no big deal

Then with 20% counted Walker had ~60% vs 40%, AHHHH,, that was just before 10pm. Then almost immediately Maddow reports that NBC projects Walker the winner. It was so sad to see liberals hopes crushed... over so soon :( :)

Then O Donnell comes on at 10pm and declares that the race has a huge winner for ‘President Obama’ ??? What??? Then he spends about 7 whole minutes out of the 50 of his show talking about WI, the other 43 talking about Romney.

The big loser was MSNBC who put everything behind recalling Walker, now they are all making excuses, Walker BOUGHT the election????

RE:” Dem analysts (including O’Malley) came on TV tonight to explain that Walker’s win is not a problem for Obama in WI this November, because exit polls showed that many of the Walker voters would vote for Obama in November. However, the exit polling tonight was way off. If the exit polls had been representative of the voting, Barrett would have come very close to beating Walker. That’s why the networks didn’t call the election for Walker sooner.

NBC did a good job of calling it less than an hour after polls closed with only 20% counted. In a way it helped the libs (Maddow, Schultz and O Donnell) on MSNBC stopping them from their silly sounding victory talk.

Unions wasted their resources on this huge defeat while getting the GOP to develop an organization capability to use against Obama in November. This was a disaster for them.

If I was Romney or GOP or better yet Rove and CO, I would run ads in Dem areas of WI reminding them how Obama abandoned them and they lost.

Want to crush the other side?? Then demoralize their voting base while motivating/inspiring yours; although Obama appears to be doing a GREAT job motivating Republican voters against him. If you want Romney to win you have to lower Democrat demographic turnout and it must be done carefully to not backfire.

The people saw the economy, as well as the state debt turning around, and voted their pocketbooks. November? It will be interesting.
