RNC Says a Tuesday Walker Win Means ‘Lights Out for Barack Obama’
ABC NEWS ^ | May 31st 2012 | Shushannah Walsh

The Republican National Committee had some strong talk about their chances next week in the Wisconsin recall and what a victory for Gov. Scott Walker would mean for their state’s going red in November.

“Certainly [if] Wisconsin goes red, I think it’s lights out for Barack Obama,” said RNC Chairman and Wisconsinite Reince Priebus on Wednesday.

This is on the heels of a new Marquette University Law School poll showing Walker over Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett by 7 points, 52% to 45%.

Despite their tough talk, it’s not so cut and dry that a Walker win would automatically mean an Obama loss. The same survey also shows President Obama over Mitt Romney 51% to 43%.

The RNC said they have made “over two million voter contacts” and identified “nearly every Wisconsin voter” ahead of Tuesday’s vote, on a conference call the committee held Wednesday. That date will then in turn be quickly used for get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of November.

That would be awesome. What can people not in WI do to help him win?

I wouldn’t get too confident. Never underestimate the lengths to which the corrupt left will go to bully their way in.

Walker supporters in Wisconsin should be working and fighting as if they were 2 points behind in the polls.

I agree, all conservatives should help in this fight. This is the most important election this year, it is a bellwether and should Walker win, it will bring much needed confidence to all off us to keep fighting these liberal B**tards

"Despite their tough talk, it’s not so cut and dry that a Walker win would automatically mean an Obama loss."

Said what source? It's annoying when reporters are their own experts. Their qualifications are what? They couldn't pick up their cell phone or fire off an e-mail to a real expert?

We can always try the RATS approach - - bring in busloads of voters with no I.D., give them each a bottle of Musketel and a pork chop sandwich between two pieces of rye bread, if they vote for our guy.

Indeed. We definitely must guard against complacency, though...

This smells a bit like the -20 points of the Lugar loss. Here’s to a big Walker Commie beat down!

Why oh why do they have to say things like that? Smart money says that Walker wins, AND that Obama wins the state this Fall, though he will probably have to fight for it.

So very true. Assume NOTHING about defeating 0bama until after the votes are counted. That statement was akin to a "guarantee" of a win by an opposing head coach that ends up on a locker room wall before a playoff game.

Drop the trash talk and keep it businesslike, Priebus. You`re still behind in many states you need to win.

I wish some republicans would stop being so timid and afraid to attack our enemies head on. THAT path always leads to defeat. To win a war one must WIN A WAR!

I am praying that it will be the beginning of the end for Obama.

Never ever underestimate the voting public. Keep the campaign going and never assume anything in politics or how a vote will turn out.

I don't care if Walker was up by 20 points you have to keep playing the game til the end! And especially with BO and his criminal regime!

This is just an asinine headline!!

Actually there is only a partial quote by Preibus in the opinion piece disguised as a news article. He did NOT say a Walker win guarantees an Obama loss
