(31,706 posts)I don't downplay that a loss in Wisconsin will be a big letdown, but we're still 6 months out from November and a lot of "momentum" is still to come. Maybe, just maybe a loss in Wisconsin will give a jolt to people in other states...especially Michigan, Indiana and Ohio who are in similar messes. But I doubt a loss in Wisconsin will have any effect in the Massetchussets Senate race or and other big races that will determine who controls the House and Senate. Those races have far more ramifications than a state election.
The key to winning in Wisconsin has been and still is GOTV and the ground game. Over 1,000,000 people signed petitions for this recall and you would think that if a large majority of these people show up Walker will be history. The people in that state have endured 18 months of this political circus and if they don't understand what the consequences are in their own lives and vote to retain this shitbag, there's little the DNC or anyone can do about it.
