...and that they give up. The race will be close, and everyone knows that. IF Barrett IS on track to win as it stands, they are not going to discourage Walker supporters into staying home by letting them know that fact. Regardless of who is ahead in this close race, their job is to discourage Barrett supporters from going out to vote. If it means using questionable polls to declare Walker the winner, so be it.
