Problem for the Dems, however, is that the colleges have already graduated their classes and shut down for the summer. the out of state students are gone.

I know what you are saying. I just wanted to let folks know
what Sissy and Fat Ed are talking about. The point that Sissy
was trying to make is more RAT voters are showing up.

However, Sissy did not mention which part of the state these
exit polls were taken. It could have been in heavy RAT districts, and not the state as a whole.

Milwaukee Journal on Early Exits:

Preliminary exit polls Tuesday underscore just how sharply union issues are dividing voters in the Wisconsin recall fight.

There is little middle ground in how Tuesday’s voters feel about Gov. Walker’s handling of the collective bargaining issue.

About eight in ten voters either strongly approve or strongly disapprove of the way Walker has handled the issue, and they are roughly evenly divided between pro and con, according to exit polls.

Only two in ten voters expressed milder feelings, saying they “somewhat” approve or “somewhat” disapprove.

Not surprisingly, the issue represents a deep dividing line between voters backing Walker and those backing Tom Barrett.

Nine out of ten Walker voters approve of his handling of the issue.

Nine out of ten Barrett voters disapprove.

Almost eight in ten Walker voters have a negative view of government-employee unions.

Nine in ten Barrett voters have a positive view of government-employee unions.

Voters overall are fairly evenly divided over the collective bargaining issue and the governor’s handling of it, the exit polls shows.

These exit poll findings are preliminary and could change over the course of the evening as more data comes in based on interviews with people voting later in the day.

LoL, that would only make Chicago MORE powerful. It would still control the rump state and its own delegation.

The only way to defeat Chicago politicians is to be smarter than they and that is a long way in the future.

Re: the state senators up for recall today. Should we lose one today, others are up for regular election in November. So should we be saddled with losing one of ours, we’d have a chance to win it and others back in November.

Keep on praying for us!

Something tells me a whole lot of voters being interviewed
by exit pollers are protecting themselves from the union thugs close by. They did one thing in the booth and told
exit pollers another, to protect themselves from thugery.

About eight in ten voters either strongly approve or strongly disapprove of the way Walker has handled the issue, and they are roughly evenly divided between pro and con, according to exit polls.

That is expected and says nothing. 55-45 is "roughly even" either way. But...

Almost eight in ten Walker voters have a negative view of government-employee unions.

Nine in ten Barrett voters have a positive view of government-employee unions.


So, do the math. If voters who care about the issue are "roughly evenly" split on their strong feelings about collective bargaining, and yet, 9 out of 10 Barrett voters are supportive and only 8 out of 10 Walker voters feel negatively about public unions?

This could mean that there are just that many more Walker voters to make up for the missing 1-in-10 gap. I'm hopeful.

You have to do what you have to do.

For those of us standing our ground here, you're right in that every one of these demo-communist vermin bigwigs have to GO. These slimy politicians evolved over the years, and it will take who knows how long to be rid of them. It is generational welfare that is bringing Chicago down to its knees in debt and corruption, on the backs of the tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. Welfare will have to go cold turkey...new restrictions and laws need to be applied and enforced. The rat's nest that is City Hall and the State Senate must be fumigated, and the scumbags removed. And if the general welfare moochers, the gangbangers, the store front revruns and others, who benefit from corruption and greed, object and promise riots and chaos, let them bring it on....and the Chicago Police Department's hands must be freed to carry out arrests, etc. And, or course, the unions must stop electing demo-commies as leaders in their unions. And they must stop voting demo-communist for the hacks that the commies run for office.

No time like the present to initiate this war on all that ails Illinois. Corruption in Chicago started long before Capone. Conservatives/republicans must start grooming viable candidates who have the fire in their bellies to fight this fight. And we must support them with our donations and our votes. Join forces with like-minded people and organizations and strategize a plan of action.

It begins with one step. Let Wisconsin's example be our guide...they have the guts and the will to do the right thing...hey, Illinois, what's our excuse?

That’s encouraging news, especially since Walker voters are
now just getting off work and will vote.
