Didn't see an actual thread we could use for a central point for election information today.

Lets do this Wisconsin!!!

[Dave W]

LOL!

Good luck to Walker, Kleefisch and Wisconsin.

[Jeff Head]

I was hoping they could get the fifteen Elvis Presleys, and the five Martin Luther King Jrs together on set on Good Morning America and ask them their opinons on the recall too.

Here's a hint from Charlie Sykes about the potentially massive GOP turnout:

Charles Sykes ‏@SykesCharlie
De Pere, WI @ 10:15 for the primary (no wait at all) I was 114 @ 10:30 today (after a 40 minute wait) I was 1645

Finley and Gurley aren’t the first Packers to support collective bargaining rights — which Walker has focused on limiting — nor are they unfamiliar with the role of unions.

If they think this public-sector teacher union issue has anything to do with a private-sector union like theirs, they are complete morons.

The slime pit that is Chicago will always negate the way the rest of the state votes. We are lost here. Period. Unless some kind of MAJOR and I mean MAJOR transformation happens, it will remain lost to the Dems eternally.

I don’t see it happening in my lifetime. That’s why I’m getting out of this POS state while I still can and I have a slight hope of selling my house and not losing everything. It’s only gonna get worse.

If a Republican president can cut off federal aid, the parasites would have to migrate elsewhere.

Suspect anecdotal posting.

“The slime pit that is Chicago will always negate the way the rest of the state votes.”

My Nlaws live in Decatur, so I drive down quite often. Last drive a radio station I was listening to had the main topic for over an hour of separating from Chicago.

Something along the lines of making Chicago it’s own state similar to D.C. - it was an interesting topic.

I do know that all down staters are basically beat and know that there’s nothing they can do to overcome Chicago. It’s really unfortunate.

What gave you away, the screams for the ice cream or broken cell phone?

Go, WI! Praying for your success all the way.

[RoseofTexas]

PLEASE, Please, please folk from WI, please indicate what poll areas are conservative and liberal...we outta state folk are not acquainted with those areas! If you state there are LONGGGGGGGG lines, please tell us if it is a republican or liberal vicinities. I'm very nervous for you all, but especially what this VOTE really represents for our country! GOD HELP US!

Reading these stories, but in this age of phone cams, not one pic, video or license #?

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL TWEET:

Milwaukee calls in extra poll workers amid heavy Wis. recall turnout.

[Cruising For Freedom]

Is your area pro-Walker?

[justice14]

Doubtful, they would most likely riot.

[Txngal]

Prayers for Walker today. I hope that he makes it through this with a wide enough margin to not have a recount.

[NowApproachingMidnight]

According to my source on the ground in Milwaukee who is well-connected, young, dynamic, and popular: This is not even going to be close. We should see a 60/40 split favoring Walker.
