Unbelievable

I knew this shit might happen if they got a flawed candidate http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/ppp-polls-wisconsin-recall-walker-50-barrett-45_645028.html

1. I know you tend to be more of a cynic, but I would submit that it's not the candidate

It's the money. Walker is outspending Barrett by a 30-1 margin. The DNC needs to step up. And WE need to step up and give anything we can: $5, $10, $20...whatever we can do to play the game. This is Citizens United at work here.

And remember: Barrett is starting out with a disadvantage. Walker is already the governor and has been campaigning now for over a year. Barrett has just won the primary a week ago. Given that fact, you'd think Walker would be way ahead, but he's not.

Then, we've got to get people out to vote.

2. Tell me where I can donate and I will do so. I understand that Debbie Wasserman

head of the DNC is there right now doing whatever it is she is going to do.

3. and since you know so much about WI--who should have been the candidate?

First, Recalls are not always successful. Of six GOP State Senators up for recall last year two were actually defeated--FOUR WON.

Second, our best candidate, Feingold, decided he didn't want to run.

Third, Barrett, who actually came close to beating Walker in 2010--A VERY REPUBLICAN YEAR, won the primary convincingly for the recall election. His strongest opponent, Kathleen Falk, even lost her home county (Dane Co) where she was County Executive for many years by OVER 20-POINTS. So why is Barrett such a lousy candidate?

Fourth, Walker has unlimited money and is out-spending us 20-1

4. I want any $ I donate to DNC to go towards Federal Congressional Elections.

If we decisively win back both houses of the US Congress federal laws can be enacted to trump what these state yahoos do.

5. correct

we need more liberals elected and a liberal majority....thanks to last few election cycles were are getting rid of blue dog conservative republicans running around as democrats.

its high time for a liberal majority, then we can build on it for a super liberal majority in both houses, and therefore tell the states they do not have the rights they think they have

8. Wrong

The only way to do that is to repeal the 10th Amendment. Is that a step you're ready to take?
After that, which do you repeal next?

You had a liberal majority, and still were not able to get anything but Obamacare done. Are you advocating a single party system? A liberal dictatorship? Ask the Soviets how well that worked out.

9. You sound angry.

What are you proposing?

7. Ed Schultz ginned this up

and now it looks like its going to be a big waste of time and money.

There doesn't appear to be much regret from Wisconsin voters. Not sure what has happened there. Too many people from Indiana and Missouri move there?
