Will there be a new election? What about the Lt Governor? I don't know Wisconsin proceedings.

who will run against Walker.

Edit: Probable candidates are former Congressman Dave Obey, State Senator Jon Erpenbach, Congressman Ron Kind, Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, and others

After all kinds of legal shenanigans, of course.

11. Kleefisch (LtGov) is also being recalled. Sigs were collected for both at the same time.

And more than enough sigs for all 4 R Senators eligible for recall have been collected. In the one case I'm most familiar with, the recall of Sen. Terry Moulton required 14,000+ sigs. We have 18,000+ on hand.

It only takes 1 Senate flip to get us a majority.


There are some interesting new polling results too. Let me just say Walker's chances are looking dimmer by the minute.

Great work by all those who stood out in the cold and collected signatures as well as by those who worked in the field offices for days and weeks without a break!

is that we all snuggle up really close to each other. That's why most of us are born between August & December.
