The media keeps harping on Obama not going to Wisconsin, but...

They don't point out that Mitt Romney hasn't been to the state campaigning for Scott Walker, either. While I wish the prez had come, at least I know (first hand) that his organization is working very hard in the state to GOTV (as a trial run for November), meanwhile I don't know that Mittens has any organization to speak of in WI. The organizers for Walker are 70 consultants sent in by the Koch Brothers.

The corporate media loves to interject itself and project others into every issue. They've done a shitty job covering what's going on north of the Cheddar curtain and still aren't focused what this election is about. This is about unions...and the power they once had to influence state elections. A loss tomorrow is a severe blow to the union movement...elections can be bought, unions can and will be busted.
