1. GOTV

2. So Barrett will overcome a 6.4% deficit in the poll average?

Allow me to be a realistic Democrat who responds to the question in the poll (Who will win0 as opposed to 'Who are you rooting for"?

[NNN0LHI]

3. Yes, Barrett will win

10. I've yet to see ONE poll which shows Barrett ahead

I think the Dems made a mistake pushing for this recall. Nevertheless, it ain't over 'til it's over.

TO ALL PROGRESSIVES IN WISCONSIN.....GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW. NO EXCUSES!! Ignore the polls, the only one that matters in the end is the one conducted on election day.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

15. I think political polla are crap since they've been bought and paid for since 2000.

They're also skewered and used to throw wool over everyone's eyes.

5. Both sides are already quietly consulting with recount experts

I think Barrett might edge it out, but I am not sure by what margin. I hope it is large enough to avoid triggering the automatic recount.

PS info in title reported by Ed Schultz this morning.

7. I hope that the Koch Bros have spent their money for nothing.

and that good honest people have the win!

[lunatica]

16. My exact sentiments

I want them to experience the shock of knowing their money isn't the last word. Let them know some things can't be bought.

Imagine if they threw all those millions at things that truly help people. Things they don't expect to get a return on except for the simple knowledge that did something right.

8. It will be Barrett until about Thursday

When enough votes mysteriously appear for Walker in some district recount

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Too close to call, IMO

Voter turnout will be key.

[longship]

11. I'll pass on this useless poll

We care, and all want Barrett to win, but all we can do is to work hard the next 36 hours to see to it that our people get to the polls.

In the meantime these prognostications are just so much blather.

If you care, do what you can to support.

13. Walker pulls it off. Or steals it.

And the national Democratic organization wonders why ...

14. Kitteh will win.

Kitteh always wins.

17. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Walker will take it,

through cheating, if necessary. There is too much at stake for the Republicans to allow this to be lost. Republicans cheat -- we all know it.

18. I Hope And Pray I'm Wrong, But I Think Walker Will Win

I hope and pray that I'm wrong, but I was seriously disappointed by the 2010 elections and am very worried that it's a predictor of how this year's elections will go. Not only did so many Tea-bagger reactionaries and bigots enrolled in the GOP turn out to vote, but all too many of the people who turned out to vote in Barack Obama stayed home.

I lost faith in the youth vote this last election. With the exception of the young, energetic, and politically-active who turned out to campaign for President Obama, congressional and state Democrats (Hooray for you guys, BTW!) and have a VERY realistic idea as to what's at stake in this election and the following ones for the next sixteen years, the majority of the under-35 potential voter pool has shown themselves to be uninformed, lazy, and inattentive. They proved it by staying at home on their backsides when the Republicans came back and started hacking at education funding, and they're proving it right now as the Religious Right is waging a very successful campaign not only against abortion, but ALL birth control, and the regular Republican Party is getting ready to let the interest rates for student loans for college accellerate towards the stratosphere.

As for the rest of the electorate, I'm worried that all too many Wisconsites think that they're doing all right despite the fact their jobs and their standards of living are already on the line, and that they'll only discover that either staying at home or voting Republican was a bad call AFTER Walker and Company gets another term or two to fulfil their right-wing agenda.

19. I HATE Being Right!

I HATE being right! About the only thing in my prediction is that it looks like a lot of young people turned out to vote in the Badger State, something far less likely to happen in Texas. I am back to my pre-Obama victory mindset. I think that the ONLY thing that can wise up an electorate inclined to vote Republicans is hard knocks and painful experience, and THAT is something Progressives aren't very good at providing to the weak, the helpless, the destitute, the struggling, and the ailing.

School is now in session for many of the complacent and denialists who voted Republican last night. Unfortunately, everybody else gets to go through the curriculum.
