Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson ping

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

I've seen Sen. Johnson's power point talk, and it is terrific. We need more Ron Johnsons in the Senate. BTW, I was wearing my Paul Ryan "Math" tee shirt that day, and Johnson loved it!

We in Wisconsin are going to save the country. We have four of the most influential leaders in the NEW Republican Party.

Ron Johnson, Reince Priebus, Scott Walker, and Paul Ryan all are doing their part to save American from financial ruin. I only hope enough voters still have enough sense to elect Romney/Ryan and give us a Republican senate.

If we get a Republican senate, it will be people like Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Jim Inhofe, Jim DeMint who hold the RINO McConnell’s feet to the fire.

Scott Walker has shown the way with his brave leadership. When he took office two years ago, we were facing a $3.6 billion deficit. Just last week, the state put $109 million into our rainy day fund because the changes Walker made with Act 10 have righted the state’s budget and put the public employee unions in their place.

Reince took over the RNC with $26 million in leftover bills from the disaster who was Michael Steele. RNC ended Sept. with over $82 million in the warchest for the final battle to win November.

Wisconsin will go for Romney/Ryan. The polls show it a dead heat, but the Walker recall election in June left the unions here in shambles and depressed. They threw EVERYTHING they had at Walker. national unions poured millions into ads, they sent 1000’s of out of state operatives into Wisconsin to drag inner city and nursing home people to vote, They still got crushed 53-47 by Walker.

The biggest result of the recall election that no one nationally is talking about is that the state Republicans have now the most sophisticated get out the vote operation in the country. Our 25 ‘victory centers’ around the state are fully staffed with motivated volunteers and were trained in June and have been working ever since on this election. The Rats boast about having more locations, but Reince has spent a lot of money on technology to identify the voters we need to get to win in November.

The 2008 election had 2.9 million voters, the recall election in June had 2.5 million voters. I imagine this election will have about 2.7 million voters. If so and the people who voted for Walker vote for Romney, Obama will have to win 9 out of 10 of the extra 200,000 voters to beat Romney. I do not see that happening.
