Tracking Poll Has Wisonsin recall at dead heat.

Emails are out about a Dem tracking poll just released showing a 49-49 dead heat among voters who will absolutely vote in WI. One other new organizational poll shows 50-45 in favor of the asshole, and a right wing poll has it at 50-42 for the arsehole. The right wing one is total shit. The 50-45 is obviously underpolling Dems. The tracking poll is probably quite accurate.

Think about it. The asshole can not get above 50% in any poll. He's stuck. That's not good for Sir Asshat The Koch Toadie because it shows his multi millions are not working. If the tracking poll is a good one, it is indeed a dead heat and will come down to turnout.
And I hear the Dems have been going barnstormers bussing voters to the polls in early voting.

Also, the polls show the Indies breaking to Barret the Dem and the Dems are heavily targeting voters who voted in 2008 but not 2010. If they can continue momentum and get their voters to the polls, they can certainly win it.

I hear that Compas, the lady taking on The Asshole's right hand asshole Scott Fitzgerald in that state senate recall, just had a debate with him and tore him a new asshole, that goddamned asshole.

Come on Wisconsinites. MAKE IT HAPPEN. WALKER IS A CORRUPT CORPORATE TOADIE BASTARD ASSTURD.

If they spent a million on this race I bet the local dems would win.

the protest movement in general. That alone means they don't think this is winnable because Obama is too cautious and won't stick his neck out unless he thinks he can win.

Obama to get directly involved. Though OFA has helped some as well. Did you hear what the WISDEMS chair, Mike Tate, has said? He said that the DNC is helping and he is grateful. We don't need this BS infighting.

People across Wisconsin are already casting some of the first early votes to send Scott Walker packing. Let's make our voices heard now.

This Saturday at 11:30 a.m., folks in Madison will be getting together for an early vote event with State Senators Mark Miller and Jon Erpenbach. Come out and show your support for Tom Barrett and all the Democrats on the ballot, then head over to the clerk's office to cast your own early vote alongside other supporters.

Can you make it? Here's all the information:
What: Early vote event in Madison

Where: 30 Rotary Plaza
100 North Hamilton Street
Madison, WI 53703

When: Saturday, May 26th
Meeting at 11:30 a.m.



Early voting is critical to winning this election. By voting early, you can avoid lines at the polls and free yourself up to be a part of the get out the vote effort on Election Day to help bring even more people to the polls.

Even if you've already cast your ballot, the event in Madison is a chance to show Walker that we've had enough of his extreme agenda -- and that we can't wait one more day to vote for Tom Barrett.

Say you'll be at the event on Saturday -- and be sure to bring your friends:

other political sociopaths will see this as a victory and their behavior acceptable to the masses. The opposition will look weak and ineffective, given all of the effort that has been put into this recall effort.

DNC supports Wisconsin recall, but not necessarily with money
With Wisconsin Democrats putting pressure on the national Democratic party to step up in the effort to recall Scott Walker, the Democratic National Committee is reaffirming its support, but it's still not committing actual money.

The Democratic Governors Association has already spent $2 million on the recall, but there's still no definite answer on the $500,000 the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has requested from the DNC:

i so hope that walker is out of office by the time his court date rolls around.
he is a scoundrel of the worst sort.
it is hard to imagine why anyone in wisconsin would continue to support this weasel.

Good point. That might make a real difference. With things as close as they are, it wouldn't take much.

I'm sure plenty of Republicans will rally around him but how many union moderates and public employees will drag themselves to the polls to vote against their own interest?

I don't think it's over.

New Poll From Top-Notch Pollster Fred Yang: Walker 50, Barret 48
Submitted by Jud Lounsbury on Thu, 05/24/2012 - 1:38pm

Fred Yang is one of the most precise pollsters in the country. If he says it's 50-48, its 50-48. He's known to get it right within .1 to .3 tenths of a point, while other pollsters are lucky to get it within 1 to 3 points.

I have a sick feeling about this. I wish we had some money to do some advertising.
