I mean I cannot understand how someone so thoroughly flogged could still win, even with unlimited coffers.

It wasn't the last time and it won't be "without problems" this time either....

Lost vote bags, opened vote bags, no oversight....yada yada....it's very tiring.....

Democrats and/or honest, progressive people REALLY need to anticipate/prepare/be proactive about this, imho. The methods to do so, I'm not so sure (I'm not that smart/creative)....but there are others with a "good" conscience, who seek truth/honesty and justice who could figure out how to stop the rampant corruption. I and many, many others would totally support that.

(btw, I'm not 'picking on you' joshcryer....we're prolly on mostly the 'same page'. Your post just gave me an opportunity to post my thoughts, which I don't express here anymore very often on the DU b/c I don't want to be "attacked".)

This is the most politically divisive place in the nation. His supporters are as rabid in their support of him as we are passionate against. You should visit sometime.

Disregard the preemptive calls of fraud, we're watching every polling place. This will be a tight race. Democrats here do a dismal job of showing up in mid-term and special elections and local GOP wins national awards for turnout. We very well may lose. Thousands of us have and are working very hard to be sure that doesn't happen, but if every single person who voted for Obama doesn't show up, it will. His supporters exist en masse and they show up at the polls.

It just boggles my mind that he'd even have "rabid supporters" and that after Barrett's flogging the past two debates, he'd still have them. What kind of irrational person would be behind such a dipshit?

I’ve struggled with this question for some time now. What would Walker have to do to get them to see him for who he is? Let’s face it, he’s got the following record:

He has the worst Jobs Record in America
He oversaw corruption while County Executive
He’s lost 10,000 businesses
He has a legal defense fund
He has two high-priced legal mouthpieces
He’s been obstructing the John Doe investigation for two years
He’s the most dishonest governor in America according to PolitiFact

I think transvestite comedian (comedienne?) Eddie Izzard has the answer: Scott Walker would have to impale babies on spikes to lose support from the enthralled masses. And even then, I think they’d figure out a way to excuse it since he impaled babies and not fetuses.

and seems to remain unscathed by the scandal. Admittedly my threshold for shock was lowered somewhat when the corrupt Rick Scott was elected governor of Florida. I can't help feeling that the rightwing would be rubbing our noses in it if roles were reversed.

Walker isn't the only one facing recall. Dems only need one Senator and the legislature switches to Dems.
