announced it. Joe stopped him and said say it again? Walker wins big?
They were of the opinion it was union's big mistake to try to take down a governor in a presidential election year.
They feel it will help Romney also. Oh boy.....

Who cares what they think? They are scared to death. They know that the grassroots effort to recall this shitbag was huge. And, the recallers did it on a shoestring, without the help of the Democrats in DC. AND, they took out several republican state senators, as well. Joke and this Politico clown are spewing this shit because they're deathly afraid that all that money the GOP is pouring into WI is going to go to waste, and that their little toady is going to go down.

Voters have proven these prognosticators wrong on more than one occasion. If he were to win, he would probably be the choice for Romney's VP.

It's just another attempt to discourage people from going out to vote to get rid of the bum. And, from what I've been seeing here on DU, and hearing elsewhere, it seems to be working.

...and that they give up. The race will be close, and everyone knows that. IF Barrett IS on track to win as it stands, they are not going to discourage Walker supporters into staying home by letting them know that fact. Regardless of who is ahead in this close race, their job is to discourage Barrett supporters from going out to vote. If it means using questionable polls to declare Walker the winner, so be it.
