Uh....... but, but, but, Walker was always ahead of Barrett by 5-10 pts in the polls. Always.
Not according to some of the folks here. There were plenty of posts showing polls that showed Walker losing big time. And the spin after...............priceless.

Well, I don't where those people lived, but every poll I read here always showed Barrett behind by a substantial margin. It never changed. The million people who signed the recall petition were about all the votes Barrett got. One can say WI is a tossup because of that - but it wasn't love of Walker as much as it was distaste for recalls, the Madison demonstrations, AND Barrett being not sufficiently charismatic to overcome the advantages of an incumbent along with the recall/demonstrations distaste. There may have been tons of money spent here, but imo it didn't have any effect, really. 98% of the people had their minds made up months prior to the election.
I see that you failed to read the Rasmussen poll that has Romney at 47% and Obama at 44%. It might be a good thing for you to read all of these things, not just some local ones.
The Obama edge in WI has been steady for some time now. It will likely hold through the election. The same can be said about the national polls. Romney leads in few, if any, and is showing no signs of gaining or losing strength. This one is over and Obama is going to win.
Maybe you should read the link that ec posted just ahead of you. Rasmussen still has Romney ahead by 3 points. Of course, only if their numbers say what left leaners want to see can they be accepted.

I am sure you would rather this not be brought to your attention, but here goes anyway: 1-the latest poll you are showing is over a week old: 2-all three of the polls are very, very, very liberal leaning and most of all: let me give you an example of just how much credence any of us should put into polls: a couple nights ago, we got a call from New Mexico, it appears we are still registered there, even though we vote here and have lived here for over 4 years: anyway, the pollster asked my husband who he would vote for if the election was today. He was given 3 choices, he said the third name, of course he has not intentions of voting for that person, but he said it anyway. Now, we know two things, one: polls are anything but accurate and we need a voter ID card. If we have changed our registration, have let NM know more than once and we are still on the roll don't you think something needs to be done...??
Did you miss the reference to the Rasmussen poll that ec made? He saw that blurb on the title of it that says Obama is ahead in Michigan and the national poll says, wait for this, Romney is ahead 47% to 44%. It might be best for lefties to learn beyond the title of articles, but they see what they want to see and let fly.
This thread reminds me of the infamous "Scott Walker is going down" thread.
Uh, huh!
Keep dreaming.
Just what I was thinking. One of them got excited and posted a link to Rasmussen because the title of the article was that Obama is leading by a bunch in Michigan. What more could we expect since the stimulus was aimed at keeping the auto jobs and giving some money back to the UAW?
Romney isn't spending much money anywhere right now. He can't until the convention. Kind of a dumb statement.
