(31,706 posts)The RNC (which is headed by a Wisconsite...Reinhold Preibus) is a small player compared to all the big money SuperPacs...the Kochs in particular, who are saturating the airwaves. Walker's own PAC also has drawn in a lot of wingnut money.
The problem is Democrats aren't spending anywhere near what the rushpublicans are this year. Every day we hear of yet another billionaire whose ready to throw several million to a SuperPac that Democratic groups haven't and aren't set up to counter. If there was ever a need to demonstrate people power this is the time and place. The only way to counteract the big money is to organize and get out the vote. It's not something that shows up in any polls until election day and is the Democrats best and only hope here.
It's easy to point fingers of blame if things don't go your way but the bottom line here is its the people of Wisconsin and the union movement that have the most at stake here and a loss in this re-call (including not retaking the state Senate) should fall on their shoulders. But right now there's still an election to fight and win...I'll look for scapegoats later...
