Odds are Walker will win the recall and then be twice as bad.

I hate to say it, but i think WI in in for a shit storm when he wins.
He'll take it as a mandate to do whatever he wants, and what he wants will destroy the State.

1. If we can get just one of those Senate seats, it will help immensely.

And, as I said here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=756552

[edhopper]

4. I hope he is thrown out

but fear he won't. If he isn't. hell is coming to WI.

7. I think there's a very good chance the WI Senate goes Dem.

AND there seems to be a good chance he'll be charged with crimes. All that together, it looks like he will be weakened no matter what unless he dodges all of these bullets which isn't likely. But, as Rachel said last night, even if we don't win any of the Senate seats, the WI Senate is deadlocked.

9. The race to watch is Senate District 21. Van Wanggaard (R)/Lehman(D)

Oh, and Lori Compas taking on Fitzgerald in 13 cuz she's freaking AWESOME

[Greybnk48]

11. If Compas beats Fitzgerald I will have an out of body experience!

So will my sister who lives in that area.

[kentuck]

2. Other Republican governors will be emboldened...

to try similar maneuvers in their states. It will be a long struggle if Walker wins.

6. You are absolutely spot on. -nt

8. Damn, the naysayers are out in full force this morning.

It ain't over till it's over.

10. I will be blunt about it, if the people

are stupid enough to vote him back in then they deserve what they get. There have also been voting problems there for quite a while. If the people aren't willing to hound the DOJ to get a legal voting process then they deserve what they get.

For crying out loud the Republicans could not possibly be more obvious about their tactics to do what ever it takes to totally take over this country and the Democrats (as a whole) are sitting there like bumps on a log. I have no faith in the ability of the Democrats to make any real effort to take on the Republicans because they are their own worst enemies most of the time.

[PeaceNikki]

14. You really fucking think WI Democrats have been sitting here 'like bumps on a log'?

Where have you been? You've seen us Wisconsin Democrats in the past 16 months, right?

The protesters? The Fab 14? The Democratic Assembly members who fought for days and days? The hundreds of us volunteers who stood in the cold Wisconsin winter collecting a million signatures? You think there is a risk we'll let our guard down now? We've organized, recounted, developed teams to watch every polling place.

We're not idiots so stop acting as if we are, please.

[avebury]

16. Wisconsin is not the only state where the

Republicans are running amok. When you look at the nation as a whole you do not see the Democratic Party fighting toe to toe what is taking place. Republicans routinely get by with stating lies, deceptions, and flat out absurdities and the Democrats don't jump on them like a ton of bricks. The local Democrats have fought in the legislature but I keep reading the the National DNC has not been in Wisconsin fighting to see that Walker gets voted out.

There are been repeated voting fraud issues for quite some time. Where is Eric Holder and the DOJ to see that Walker does not steal the election? Walker has been bought and paid for many times over, he hires crooks, he blatantly passes legislation that destroys the lower and middle class. The local Democrats cannot defeat Walker by themselves.

What plan has the local Democrats come up with to stop Walker? What plans have been implemented to stop any further voter fraud? Where is the cry for the DOJ to insure valid elections? What about trying to get an international group to send in people to monitor the election (it is done for other countries with questionable elections in other countries).

If you cannot safeguard an election by preventing voter intimidation and fraud at the ballot box then the Republicans have already won and I am not talking just about Wisconsin. We have a Presidential election coming up. I would not be surprised if Romney manages to steal the 2012 election.

[lunatica]

12. Right now the Wisconsin legislature is more important

4 Republicans may lose their seats to 4 Democrats who are running against them in this recall. If only one Democrat replaces a Republican the Democrats will have the majority.

but yes, Republicans everywhere will take it as a mandate to finish destroying us.

[notadmblnd]

13. I'll wager that you are wrong. If he wins, he will be indicted shortly after.

Either way, he is gone.

[JCMach1]

18. He is a CROOK...

and stands a good chance of being indicted.

[SoutherDem]

17. I would say I don't understand why he was voted in to begin with or

Why it shouldn't be a land slide to kick him out, but in Alabama we would, and do the same.

[Aerows]

20. Buh-Bye

You are what a right wing raving lunatic looks like.

[shcrane71]

21. Damn... isn't Walker getting indicted?

I really didn't understand how Wisconsinites could vote a Tea Bagger into office initially. Then when the Tea Bagger and the state legislators started making the state look just like Alabama and Mississippi, you had historic protests, I didn't think it would be this close.

The only thing having an election this close helps is those who are going to steal the election for the Tea Baggers (thank you Kathy Nickolaus).
