Recent polls have pointed toward a victory for Republican Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin’s June 5 recall election. But here’s the clearest evidence to date that national Democratic party officials believe their side is losing: Democratic officials are playing down the potential impact.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) insisted in a television interview that a loss for the Democratic candidate in the recall, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, wouldn't have any implications for other races, such as the presidential election.

“I think, honestly, there aren’t going to be any repercussions,” Wasserman Schultz said on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program. “It’s an election that’s based in Wisconsin.”

When Obamugabe's POODLE is trying to pretend it doesn't mean anything, you KNOW the 'rats are in trouble.

I love the smell of burning rodents in the morning.

“I think, honestly, there aren’t going to be any repercussions” -- Wasserman Schultz

The use of the term honestly by Blabbermouth is a clear indication that she's lying. DemonRAT phrasing and syntax is full of dissembling tips such as when Biden qualifies a sentence with the word frankly.

How can you tell?

Alternatively, does she ever tell the truth?

They should make further cuts so that the public sector salary/benefit is less or equal than the average salary/benefit of the taxpayers in the private sector

Whistling past the graveyard....

Doesn’t DWS KNOW that the whistling is exactly what stirs up and attracts the little dark flitty things that dart along the shadows?

And I hear they bite, too.

“I think, honestly, there aren’t going to be any repercussions.”

If Walker wins the recall there is a good chance Romney will win WI. The GOP hasn’t won WI since Reagan in 1984. And that wouldn’t be a “repercussion”?

Ms. Debbie is going to get her hair un-curled in protest and have one of her servants un-knot her undies, which are currently tightly twisted.

Don’t get too over confidant. The Millwaukee and Madison polls have buses of democrats pouring into them constantly. Two buses every half hour in some cases. With no need for voter ID and multiple days of voting this may not come out in our favor.
