Briefly looking at the comments, I see that the the Right wing posters have it pretty good with their silly comments. Click on "most thumbs up" icon.

Obama's political wing involved in Wisconsin recalls

By Associated Press

July 22, 2011 |(228) Comments

Madison President Barack Obama’s political arm at the Democratic National Committee is getting involved in the Wisconsin state Senate recall elections.

Obama’s Organizing for America is pulling together volunteers in Madison this weekend to knock on doors and make phone calls in support of Democrats in eight recall elections.

The group sent an email Thursday night to supporters soliciting volunteers.

The group’s Wisconsin field director says Organizing for America will be providing support to volunteers working on the recall elections. Six Republicans and two Democrats face recall elections next month.

1.  Organizing for America-Wisconsin: Recall events in Madison this weekend

Organizing for America-Wisconsin: Recall events in Madison this weekend
7/22/2011

Friend --

On August 9th, Wisconsin voters will go back to the polls to decide whether six Republican senators have failed to serve the needs of Wisconsin's hard-working families.

Senate Republicans broke the trust of Wisconsinites earlier this year when they forced drastic cuts in funding for schools, seniors, and the disabled to cut taxes for their own contributors.

Since then, hundreds of OFA Wisconsin supporters across the state have spoken up, saying they want to have an impact in the recall elections in August. So in the coming weeks, volunteers will be organizing their networks, working phone banks, and knocking on doors to get the word out about what's at stake on August 9th -- and there are several events in Dane County this weekend.

We've put together a map of times and locations -- can you attend a shift?

2. Why would a Republican, to the right of Romney...
...on everything that matters. lend his organization to this effort? I read DU regularly and it doesn't make sense.
