Oh great! Now they probably think I'm madder than a hatter! :-)
Seriously, this is tilting in the right's favor. The democrats seem to have put most of their eggs in the "rent-a-mob" union intimidation basket. And I think that's backfiring on them. The nastiness of some of the signs that they're holding up are turning the public off. Closing the schools turned people off. The "fake medical excuse" is making them look bad. Busing in bigshot union people is making them look bad. The fact that a decent crowd supporting the governor showed up, on short notice. And finally, outside of a small circle of teachers (and probably not the majority of them either), the runaway democrat Senators isn't gaining them any positive public opinion. I'm sure that the dems have a few more tricks up their sleeve, but I think they put their big cards on the table first and it isn't working.
The governor is not going to be intimidated. Neither, it seems, are the state Senators on the right.
And what is REALLY amazing to me? The Media is actually COVERING those FACTS!
(Union intimidation, closing the schools, fake medical excuses, runaway Senators, etc.)
