It's good that Walker is at the magic 50%, even if most undecided break for the challenger (not sure if that conventional wisdom even applies in this type of election), he should still pull a 52%/48% win.

Thanks ak267. I was just about to shut down my computer when I saw your post. This good news puts the rest of the evening in a more pleasant light.

Go Scott!

Walker’s ground game is getting results.

Last week, at a conservative rally in Missouri (Rally for Common Sense), a Tea Party member was signing up people to fly into Wisconsin (plus room and board) free of charge to help Walker’s ground game (canvassing, calling and assisting local Tea Party groups). The volunteers are signing up for four-day assignments. At the end of the rally, his quota was full.

Generous contributions from outside the state are making this possible.

A lot of dead people and illegals will be voting as well as those who will be voting early and often.

In Cleveland, shortly after the people repudiated union reform because they felt sorry for the whining turd-blossom firefighters, who "risked their lives" at least a little bit, maybe once a month, by showing up.

It was revealed that the fire department was a cesspool of corruption, with "firefighters" who never showed up for work, one who "commuted" from California, and many others who just f*cked off their entire shifts, eventually taking six figure disablities while still in their prime.

If you think your "safety personnel" are "on the job" you have another think coming. All they are doing is sucking your wallets dry.

Breaking Poll: Walker Up 8 in WI, 50-42

I'm thankful, hopeful, grateful, guardedly optimistic......

....and still a little too worried. The last 2 days since the WI voting polls opened now for the NEXT TWO WEEKS UNTIL JUNE 5, gives the RATs & unions untold opportunities to bus in voters from other states, to vote in multiple voting precincts, to essentially claim to be anyone they want to since the RAT bastard liberal judges stuck down voter ID, and I am worried. The RAT bastard demoRATS & unions have made this into their Waterloo, and they are not giving up on ways to vote thousands if not tens of thousands of illegal votes.

I think that Scott Walker and the WI Repubs are great... but in the case of voter ID, I think that Scott Walker should have stood up against the 2 Dane County peon judges and the US Appeals judge and told them to pound sand. The WI voter ID law is modeled nearly word for word with Indiana's voter ID law which went to the SCOTUS and WON. I think that Scott Walker should have cited this and issued a governor's executive ruling to nullify & void the RAT turd judges' ruling. I know that WI voter ID will be appealed & ruled on after this two week election, but by then I am concerned if it will be too late, if the RATS can create enough corrupt votes. I go to WI every weekend (Menomonie, WI) to help care for our elderly father 95 yrs oldso I am vitally interested in what happens in WI. We have GOT to pound the living crap out of the RATs & unions.

Any further word from WI on the possibility of RATs & unions pulling this one out, because of their fraud & corruption?

Universal suffrage has made it possible for the CPUSA to attempt a political assassination of the Governor in Wisconsin.

The Founders didn't put a right to vote in the Constitution for a reason.

Only a matter of time until all hell breaks loose.

And yet, in the city (of maybe 8 - 9,000) I live and work the local gov’t spends well over a million a year on a full time fire dept that fights 2 or 3 real fires a year. That’s not counting the $500,000 fire trucks & $150,000 ambulances it buys every few years.
All the while they keep shrinking our police budget, I’m driving a 12 year old squad car with 100,000 miles and I have to fight for new boots.
When the fire dept isn’t fighting their 2 or 3 fires per year they’re doing nursing home transfers and sleeping.
I guess I got in the wrong line of civil service.....the real heroes are the firefighters while us a$$hole police officers waste taxpayers’ money solving every single civil/criminal/personal life-crisis of about 30% of the local population.
That private retirement fund we have is really going to pay off in 18 years when I’m pulling down a mean $35-40,000 a year for my yearly retirement. That seems about right, my 100,000+ calls-for-service over 24 years compared to the firefighters who fought 50-60 fires their whole career & whom will probably get $100,000 plus for their retirements.

This is the communists’ Waterloo. They picked this fight, will lose badly AND waste millions in the process.

The momentum this will create for November will be unbelievable. I think the Americans will have a very real shot at winning Wisconsin in November.

The dems are out in droves voting early. I don’t event hink the Republicans THOUGHT of this, They have put so much emphasis on getting out the vote FOR June 5th, they forgot to tell people to vote early BEFORE June 5th. All the while, the dems are packing caravans of inner city voters and taking them to the polls for same day registration and voting. See their well organized websites like

You can sign up for a ride and find your pickup point on their maps.
