I hope he makes it too. It seems to be a nail biter. Wisconsin has done so well and this election could set us back a long way. Not just the governor’s race, either.

Reading what he says makes so much more sense to me than the charts.

LS is all about high quality political information and analysis. We are lucky to have him posting at FreeRepublic.

His opponent Tony Evers is the state superintendent of schools there. That means he’s nothing but an errand boy for the NEA and all the state unions. All the work Walker did to fix Wisconsin will be for not if Evers wins. God help you guys there if that happens.

My only explanation is that things are going so well that people just don’t care

That must be it. After Granholm & friends turned Michigan into a high-tax unemployment shithole, she high-tailed it to California as fast as she could.

It's taken years to recover from that time. Our current governor, Ricky 'The RINO' Snyder is no gift, but at least he's not a fulminating leftard like Gretchen Whittmer.

There are two “independent” candidates running for governor in Maine. Which candidate are you referring to?

“Independent” candidate Terry Hayes seems rather liberal.... she wants “universal healthcare” and extreme environmental laws. Seems like she would pull votes from dem Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Janet Mills.

If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.

Kansas is tight. Looks like Kobach thank be thankful that Orman is running as an Indie, all the RINOs in the state are endorsing the rat.

RGA pulled funding in MN.

Fung’s chances in RI seem to have declined.

Worried about Scott Walker?

[fieldmarshaldj]

All will be fine. I’m being Zen. :-P

[campaignPete R-CT]

Frank, tired of winning yet?

Yes, worried bout Walker.
Local zensters think Dem Lamont is next CT Gov.

Liberal peeples r still dum.

😽😽😽😽😽😽😻

[Impy]

I like your tagline, Pete.

[LS]

Funding pulled in MN cuz we are in good shape now to flip two, win the AG race, and Houseley very close-—she’s getting money elsewhere.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thanks for the ping! :)

[FLT-bird]

The Republicans are going to win in both Florida and Georgia. In both cases the Democrat candidate is a far left wacko. I can’t see the voters of either state electing one of those two.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...and the hard-to-bury Scott Walker is in his hardest fight yet. If you’re a Republican looking for a ray of hope, the most recent gold-standard Marquette poll had Walker up 47-46, but NBC/Marist responded swiftly with a poll showing him down 53-43, enough to sober up any optimist. Walker shouldn’t be counted out, but he’s swimming against a brutal tide.”

The Enemy Media is making it sound harder for Governor Walker than it is. Yes, some people are beefing about the condition of our roads and they DO need to be improved all over our state, but Tony Evers is NOT Governor Material by ANY stretch. No one knows who he is outside of Dane County. And what they DO know is that he’s a Socialist, Lifelong Edu-Crat and Plagiarist and thanks to him, our Public schools suck. Private, Religious and Charter schools are doing great!

Anyhow, Governor Walker IS taking this all seriously. He looked GREAT in the recent debate against Evers. The ONLY reason it’ll be close is if we don’t get out and VOTE, but WI Pubbies ARE motivated. :)

This morning's Minnesota Poll shows a tightening in the governor's race, with the Democrat Walz holding a six point lead over Republican Johnson.

Since, at no time in the history of the Minnesota Poll has any Republican running for any office been shown to be leading at any time in any race, I'd say these are encouraging numbers.

[frank ballenger]

Not tired of winning.
Just discouraged at the Dem female Whitmer for Gov. signs in Michigan. They are rejecting James,a fine highly qualified veteran for that bumbling hag Debbie Stabenow for US Senator.A state that narrowly went for Trump in 2016.

Too many slimy scumbreathed leftists near me. I am behind enemy lines (about 80% Dem always). Similar to CA. I may seek asylum if I can get good meals, luxury train ride to freedom and total entitlements when I try to get out of here. Guess they’re getting to me-—I’ll earn my way to freedom.

MAGA.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Can’t believe u not choose Bears.
Why do I dislike Titans? Cuz of Algore

[mainerforglobalwarming]

I think you’re right about Hayes. But her ads make her look like a moderate, and she’ll probably get 7-10% of the low information independent voter who votes independent because it feels good to do so.
The results are going to be close. LePage won in 2014 by 4.5%. Trump/Johnson combined I believe got 50% of the vote in 2016. The question is which side is better organized and motivated. The absentee numbers that are on the Maine elections site will tell us all this. The early voting I think goes till the Thursday before election day. We’ll know then how these races stand.

[Impy]

Brady is 4-0 against the Bears with a 1.25 ERA, oops wrong sport.

I remember the last two, in 2006 in Foxborough he ran for a first down with the game tied. And a few years ago at Solider Field he annihilated us in a snowstorm.

The Bears tend to win when least expected, my gut is rumbling but it may just be indigestion. Gotta go with my head, I think the point spread is too low, I’d set at Pats -7.5.

[DoodleDawg]

If Kobach wins the governors race in Kansas then he should send a big thank-you gift to Greg Orman for getting into the race and taking the votes away from Kelly.
