What I do NOT want to hear if the Walker recall fails [View all]

Should he fail to be removed from office, I will tear my eyes out of their sockets if one poster comes on to DU on election night saying something like this:

"Well gosh, we came up short but we gave Scott Walker a good scare. Boy we sure showed them! To even get the signatures for a recall was a really big deal. We feel so good inside about ourselves! We should really be proud of our effort."

I remember reading such foolish posts after Paul Hackett came up short in the OH-2 special election in 2005.

No. There are two options now: recall and remove Walker, which is a win, or you don't get the votes and he stays in office, which is failure.
