1. If you mean the recall....

... I suspect the next number you hear released will be the final number. No sense suggesting "we're done" and having signature collectors relax.

Privately, I think we'll get to a million, or very close. A recall election will occur.

We'll see if we can get a candidate with enough pizzazz to win.

3. Ryan will go down in flames in 2012. No question. n/t

4. I hope so, too.

Watching it from next door in Illinois I admire everyone in Wisconsin working to recall Walker. My question is about Obama. Will he go to Wisconsin to campaign for the Democratic nominee? My guess is he won't and I think that would be a grave mistake on his part. Any thoughts on this?

5. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.....

I really don't want the right wing to make this about Obama, so I'd just as soon he sat this one out.

6. Interesting thought.

I have to admit I hadn't thought of it in that context. For me, it's still more about Obama taking a visible stand. Your point, though, is definitely valid. Either way, at the end of the day Walker being removed will send a powerful message. I hope it gets done.
