My answer, for what it is worth, is that in the state wide elections rather than nationwide elections, the voter is a taxpayer but he sees the pain on the federal level as attenuated and not direct. Therefore the intensity is much less.
Okay Freepers, I want to ask you for your opinions. Please, can someone explain to me how anyone in WI who voted for Scott Walker in the Recall Election would then vote for Zero for president? Seriously. Why shouldn’t the presidential election have the same Rep/Dem result as the Recall?
A vote for Scott Walker meant you were against union thuggery, and for easing the burden of tax payers funding the pensions/medical bills of state workers, and for putting a stop to having union dues automatically deducted from state paychecks and deposited straight into the union coffers that would then end up funding Dim campaigns, and so forth and so forth. A vote for Walker meant all of those things. SO HOW COULD anyone who voted for Walker turn around and vote for Zero?
Why shouldn’t we have every reason to expect the same result for Romney that Walker got?
And don’t forget: exit polls said the Recall was TOO CLOSE TO CALL. What a load of @#$@!
