— CAC We Ask America poll (their last showed Walker up 9): Walker 54% Barrett 42%.
Amongst UNION households? Walker only trails 47% to 50%.
This is the eighth straight poll showing Walker with a lead, and now a massive one.
Poll was taken May 23rd amongst 1409 Likely Voters.
Wisconsin Leftists, I ask of you again,

The Ace of Spades HQ Decision Desk Projection will be up in a bit.
Absentee ballot news: over 90,000 ballots have already been issued for the recall, up from the 68,000 total for the primary. In the 2010 gubernatorial race, 230,000 absentee ballots were issued. Turnout is going to be very, very high so you have no excuse to skip this out without risking the danger of being beaten with a fire ant-covered cactus.
UPDATE: Larry Sabato of the Crystal Ball becomes first election prognosticator to change their status of the Wisconsin recall race, from lean to likely R. I am assuming a lot more will be following soon.

Big sample of likely voters. Weighting only for gender and age that changed the results by less than 1%. This is a good poll.

I think people confuse ideology with having a backbone; as if its impossible to be relatively moderate, and not have a backbone. Well, maybe Romney isn't an uber-conservative, but he has a backbone. He ain't caving on what he believes.

HAHAHA, over at Kos they're wailing that the jobs issue must be "front and center" in Wisconsin.
For months it was UNION-BASHING UNION-BASHING UNION-BASHING, and now 1.5 weeks before the election it's JOBS JOBS JOBS.
Inept in means and ends, they'll kill Democrat crybaby politicking for a while.
We ought to think of a little thank-you gift for them.

Not sure that they have voter ID, either.
Chicago is awfully close. My idea would be to close highways from Chicago, but I suppose that isn't legal.

Compassion from the government is impossible. They have to take from one, at the point of a sword, to give to another. How is that compassionate?
Compassion can only be done privately. The "Social Safety Net" is a lie.

Ultimately, Trayvon Martin was killed by a pitbull.
(Reuters) - A pit bull named Big Boi began menacing George and Shellie Zimmerman in the fall of 2009.
The first time the dog ran free and cornered Shellie in their gated community in Sanford, Florida, George called the owner to complain. The second time, Big Boi frightened his mother-in-law's dog. Zimmerman called Seminole County Animal Services and bought pepper spray. The third time he saw the dog on the loose, he called again. An officer came to the house, county records show.
"Don't use pepper spray," he told the Zimmermans, according to a friend. "It'll take two or three seconds to take effect, but a quarter second for the dog to jump you," he said.
"Get a gun."
That November, the Zimmermans completed firearms training at a local lodge and received concealed-weapons gun permits. In early December, another source close to them told Reuters, the couple bought a pair of guns. George picked a Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm handgun, a popular, lightweight weapon.

I just don't know how a state can vote for the Heartless Bastard Who Hates People and Loves the Rich and then, six months later, say oh no, we don't want that guy as president, we want the profligate candidate who promises the unions everything.
I do. You dangerously underestimate the number of people in Wisconsin who might have voted against Walker in 2010 and would again in 2014, but are seriously disgusted with the neverending recall circus, as well as the dominance of the clownish liberals in Madison. WI has a Madison/outstate dynamic that is similar to places like NY and MA, where the Democrats in the rural areas are still Democrats who lean left, but can't fucking stand the hyper-liberal activist assholes in Madison. There is significant recall fatigue in the state, and it is not only depressing Dem turnout, it is swinging some Dem voters to Walker on a "stop the insanity" message.
That won't necessarily carry over to Romney in November.
I don't think WI is out of reach for Romney at all in November, but no way will it be an easy lift.

It is June 5th.
Oh don't get me wrong -- Walker will not only win on June 5th, he'll CRUSH. I think it quite possible that, with massive GOP enthusiasm and depressed Dem turnout everywhere but Madison, Walker will break 55% and possibly approach 60%.
But I don't think that will necessarily translate easily to a Romney in in November. WI is a major swing state, no doubt about it, but it's not like it's suddenly going to be in the bag now.

There's a homeless shelter on West Wash right off the capitol. Otherwise the Concourse is a pretty nice place. Make sure to stop by the Old Fashioned for a local beer and the best cheese curds on the planet.

The Old Fashioned is great, but I prefer Dottie Dumpling's (which is off State Street, closer to the campus), which has my favorite burgers. If you want to stay in the Capitol square, try Cooper's Tavern.

Cooper's is a little small and always crowded, but yeah it's pretty good. The guy who started it used to run the Brocach.

"Amongst UNION households? Walker only trails 47% to 50%."
Correction that is PUBLIC Union households.
Non-Public Union householeds are Walker 55% Barret 40% Undecided 5%
Which bowls me over
