In reply to the discussion: Walker up by 9-points in new WI Recall poll, WI Dems upset with DNC [View all]milwaukeelib33
(140 posts)That term was bandied about her in WI, and was mostly dismissed citing the massive energy within the protests and recall process. Now I'm beginning to think there's something to it. Since the petition were turned in a few months ago, things seem to have gotten stagnant. Sure, for those tuned in it's being covered heavily by the media, but I believe many have tuned out. It's been a constant, grueling election cycle since early 2010 with no end in sight. Now we're heading into summer. People are planning summer vacations. Kids are out of school soon. It's almost like the state is taking a break from politics for awhile.
What we need is Wanker and his cohorts in the legislature to drop another bomb to get people energized in opposition again. But, that isn't happening as the legislature is out of session until fall, and Wanker has been lying so low as to barely even be in the state.
This is a very close race. No way Wanker is up 9 points. I believe there are very few undecideds on this election we can sway to our side, something the campaigns are acknowledging. The main focus has to be getting the GOTV plans rolling, which is something the state Dem party is feverishly working on.
