Wisconsin aftermath: Voters in disbelief over Walker victory

17. Yes, of course, and

...if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

If all the votes cast in 2008 could be..... what? Transferred or projected accurately.....
... to mean, what?

One reason that the voter turnout was smaller this year than in the presidential election
year was the nature of the campaign itself. The media bombardment on television, alone,
was enough to discourage many people from voting. I live here, in Miltown, and I can
honestly tell you there were quite a few people I spoke with who wanted nothing to do
with the election. "They're all bastards, I'm not going to vote, this whole election makes
me sick." Instead of skunks, if all you had to rely on for information were the TV ads,
trying to follow this race was the equivalent of prehistoric sauropods having a pissing
contest. (Well, considering the size of the ad budgets, maybe one uber-giant sauropod
against a garden variety tricerotops or diplodocus. But you get the point.)

I think that's a distinct feature of TV negative-ad campaigning. The same thing happened
during the election for Supreme Court between Kloppenberg and Prosser.

It helped to bury the whole purpose and issues of the recall, the point of having the
election in the first place.
