Trouble In The Badger State
" Even worse, when Wisconsin Democrats asked – more like pleaded with – the DNC for $500,000 for its ground game, the response was mind-numbing. President Obama’s campaign deputy manager said she didn’t know if the DNC would “pony up” the cash to help with the recall.
"While it is true that Barrett didn’t even win his party’s nomination till May 8th – hence the huge disadvantage – the real story here is the complete lack of support by the DNC for its challenger. Given the stakes, this decision amounts to nothing less than gross negligence.

Once more the Democratic Party is pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. An opportunity to unseat a sitting governor doesn’t come along very often. In fact in the last hundred years, only two governors have been successfully recalled: Gray Davis of California in 2003 and Lynn Frazier of North Dakota in 1921. How the DNC could allow the state party to go toe to toe against an avalanche of money from the RNC without so much as an I.O.U. is beyond me."
"It’s time for someone in the DNC to wake up and get moving. If Walker survives this recall, the whole state will be up for grabs come November. Obama will have his hands full defending Ohio, Florida, Colorado and the middle-Atlantic states. The last thing he needs is to worry about a state that hasn’t gone red since 1984."http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/05/23/trouble-in-the-badger-state/
