You are correct, more voters turned out this time in the general election than have in 60+ years....
You're right,.... for the democrats 55,000 more turned out for the democrats than the republicans. If that would have been the actual election, Walker would have been sent packing.

All those votes were between what 5 people? So really, if that vote would have been the actual election, Walker would still be there, he received MORE votes than the top 2 dems.......now if you add all 5 votes combined, yea, he would have lost.......but again , there were 5 people....not 1....
Again, another leftist lie, that CANNOT be back up....
For the second time in the last 20 minutes, in another thread, I never said Walker recieved more votes than dems taht day, I said that in the last 60 years, more people voted in this election for Walker than in the last 60 years...
100% spot on, but there are those brainwashed right wingers that seem to think being an epic failure like Walker is a good thing.
These people that support the far right Koch agenda like we see in Wisconsin under Walker are either fascists that want to see the fall of liberty, have a severe mental illness, or both.
It is a point blank lie that Wisconsin is last in job creation under Walker. The official government numbers have Walker with 9 straight months of job creation and an unemployment rate dropping much faster than the national average.
Regardless of the current polling, a last minute infusion of cash could make a difference for Barrett, plus don't discount the get out the vote network that labor and the D's have built in the state over the last year. All that matters in the end is who actually shows up to vote. We'll have to see what happens.
Can't wait to see you bawling after Walker wins.
Are you still claiming to be a Republican by the way?

Another right wing lie, Walker did not run unopposed. You can desperately try to spin it, but the fact is the democrats had a larger turnout than the GOP

Walker is running this campaign on almost entirely out of state corporate money.
Now....take this logic that you extracted from this....because it isn't happening in a vacuum.

You are correct, and Walker still beat the top 2 contenders....

Lie #1, it wasn't a general election, it was a primary
Lie #2, more voters came out for the democrats than they did the republicans.
It sure must suck being wrong again and again, but I'm sure you're used to it
#1 Did people vote? Who cares if it was a primary or a general election? You are grabbing at absolutely every little string you can get....funny...
#2 Yes, you are correct, however, more people STILL voted for Walker as a republican than in the last 60 years. I even quoted the exact same source as you did, and you still don't believe it.
Don't confuse yourself with total number of voters, and number of voters that voted in a Governors race.
More voted in this race than any other race in the last 60 years, more Republicans....
Why can't you acknowledge this? It's from a source your quoted? Why is one link from your source good but the other not?
Wisconsin has the worst job losses in the country under Walker, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers. They are 50th out of 50 due to Walker's Tea Party policies. And the Tea Party wants to implement those same failed policies at the national level?! We can't let that happen.
The Democrats are lying about Wisconsin being last in job creation. They are doing this, because they do not have an answer for defending the Public Teachers Union having a monopoly for selling health insurance to school districts at prices significantly above fair market value.
Per the Federal Government's own Numbers, Scott Walker has done a fine job as governor.
-The people in the labor force has stayed the same (labor force includes unemployed looking for work).
-The amount of people employed has grown.
-The amount of unemployed people has shrunk.
-The unemployment rate has decreased.
The federal bureau of labor statistics...When Scott Walker took office there were 2,833,068 jobs in Wisconsin - today there are 2,863,590 jobs. A net increase of 30,500 jobs and 9 straight months of job growth. Tempest68 has no sense of honesty, so he is willing to knowingly lie with false numbers to distort. No integrity on the left with their absurd hatred of Walker.

Are you saying, the unions are tapped out on funds this time around, after the constant shellacing they have been getting, since the 2010 Mid-terms.
The numbers you are using don't compare Wisconsin to every other state.
But, when you compare Wisconsin to every other state, it comes out 50th. [The graph tracks from December 2010, the month before January 3rd, 2011, the day Walker came to power.]
