From what I heard, tons of people are showing up in Wisconsin... and voting to keep Walker as Governor.

On, Wisconsin!

I have to wonder, let's say your a dem, the dems want a recall (only a portion of the dems).

What about those dems that did not want the recall or do not believe in a recall, are they going to go back out and vote?

I have a feeling the libs here are going to go into paroxysms trying to spin a Walker victory, especially since a lot of talking heads are calling this a microcosm of November. A Walker win won't look good for the left, that's fo sho!

If Barrett wins, you can expect a full blown meltdown from the far right, claiming it was rigged, voter fraud, Obama did it It's going to be quite hysterical to see what kind of outrageous garbage they are going to come up with

As much as it pain me, I have no doubt you are correct. Both side of the political aisle have totally lost their **** over the past few years.

Look in the polls leading up to this election in Wisconsin, Walker has led in the polls for the governorship, and Obama has led in Wisconsin polls for the presidency. That should tell everyone, that the election tonight is not a harbinger for the presidential election throughout the country.

That's why I think it's going to be very tight.


Well which polling firm was the closest?
