2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEven Forbes magazine says Walker lied about jobs numbers...
This is borrowed from a FB group I follow, "Support Bill Cronon" (the UW prof who did a lot of work in exposing ALEC)
"How did Walker come up with 30,000 job created? Well, he took the un-vetted job numbers (which will probably change heavily once reviewed), then added those with the monthly poll of job numbers (you can't add two polls together - you have to choose one or the other!), and then counted Wisconsin residents who work across state borders (which has nothing to do with the jobs created in our state). http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/05/25/wisconsin-politifact-calls-out-scott-walker-jobs-numbers-as-mostly-false/"
And we all know Forbes is a raging liberal magazine, right??

exactly like Fox News.
