1. Well and good, but the numbers on this don't matter anymore.

But isn't the truth important? Actually No. It isn't.

People believe what they want to believe, especially when their minds are made up.

Walker and the CC's misinformation campaign has created a conflict over the numbers. Now both sides get to call the other side liars over the numbers.

The teahadists love this sort of fight. It motivates them.

Too bad the Dems don't have the money to capture the Divide and Conquer Youtubes. THAT would rekindle the emotions that pushed over a million people to march in Madison.

That would be motivating for the pro-labor voters of Wisconsin.

Too bad the DNC doesn't see Wisconsin as an important battle in a national fight--a fight that could motivate pro-labor voters all over the country...
but then maybe the DNC doesn't want to motivate pro-labor voters.
