Democratic Governor's Association Push New Wisconsin Poll That
— CAC

...still shows Walker leading, 49-46, over Tom Barrett.

This is the tenth straight poll showing Walker ahead.

They claim this is "narrower" than a poll they had a week before showing Walker by a wider lead. Conveniently they never released that one. I'll give you each one guess why.

Three observations:

1- Those desperately trying to change the inevitability feeling of Walker winning are now coming out of the woodwork with polls...but point #2

2- These polls still show Walker ahead.

3- The DGA's polls give Walker a wider lead than Barrett's own internals. Oopsie.

4- (I lied about three) They are pushing what now counts as the tenth poll straight showing Walker leading, and only in response to public polls with fully divulged crosstabs giving the Governor a more substantial lead.

5- I miss sunlight.

Live debate between Tom Barrett and Governor Scott Walker can be streamed from here.

I, for one, welcome our new Communist overlords, mostly since they are somewhere to the right of the current bunch of Marxist tools.

12 Jesse Jackson is coming to Milwaukee tomorrow for a rally and a march to Milwaukee Municipal Bldg for early voting.

Milwaukee and Madison have kept their City Halls open over Memorial Day weekend for voters to cast their ballots . I believe they are the only 2 municipalities to do so. Of course, that's where all the libs are located.

16 #17 They can try that stunt all they wish but unless they can crack way, way beyond a 165k vote margin between both counties, its for naught. Also I have seen news reports of massive ballot requests in Waukesha, Washington, Sheboygan, and the Green Bay area. None of those are Barrett turf.

17 The Democrats are trying to pump turnout in Milwaukee and Dane counties beyond gubernatorial to near-Presidential levels without considering the Milwaukee burb R counties are going to do the exact same.

Its the vote fraud that I worry about. ....The polls don't show how many fraudulent votes will be cast. ....And we can safely assume that the union goons will be using every dirty trick in the book, to try to win this.

21 Worry is good. It inspires more Rs to be active- poll watching, driving elderly voters to the polls, voting in droves. The Democrats will attempt between 04Prez and 10Gov turnout in the two biggest counties for them, but if they are getting crushed everywhere else in the state it isn't enough. Both Walker AND Prosser carried more counties than Bush in 04. Made a difference for Prosser and was icing on the cake for Walker's first run.

And with Dems, the sky is always falling, and this time it's really for reals falling...and come November...OMG, the sky is falling even moar!!!!!

You just canÂ’t make this up!

Milwaukee Democrat Mayor Tom Barrett held a rally to recall Governor Scott Walker on May 19 at Washington Park in Milwaukee. Immediatly after Tom Barrett blasted Republicans for the so-called Â“War on WomenÂ” he turned the stage over to gangsta rapper Prophetic (aka Â“ProphÂ”).

wtf is barrett talking about? the job numbers are from WI itself, does Barrett even know how the labor dept get its numbers? It sends, not via email, but snail mail, to about 5000 employers in the country, that's it, in the footnotes of the report it says they may be 100 + or - , that is how the labor dept gets employed numbers, its an estimation, that's it.

So asking WI employers directly is a much more accurate way to gauge job numbers.

I'm beginning to detect a way to identify secret Obamaheads -- the ones who proclaim to be "non political" issues oriented, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

Over the last few weeks, the group I'm referring to suddenly thinks smoking pot is just ordinary behavior, no big deal, and all that.

67 If they portrayed the blowout that it will be, Dem voters may be discouraged. If they show it close it may encourage more Democratic voters.
Granted the same should encourage/dissuade the importance to Rep voters.

I predict nearly a landslide of over 10 point lead. Maybe even 55% to 42%

I will vote my heart in this election, my child has a chance for life. No one is prefect, but this hate will destroy us all and that will ensure our kids no FUTURE.
