So can anyone explain what the left plans to do when Scott Walker maintains his seat as Gov. of WI?

The only interesting thing at this point is how easily people were claiming the recall would be and it's apparantly going to be a close election.

If you factor in the unopposed impact on participation (which requires non-partisan thought) then Walker may have a small edge.

So, again....the 800lb gorilla in the room is the number of moderate dems that are quietly supporting walker.

When do people get their property tax bills in Wisconsin? If the recall election is after that....it will surely help walker as people pop open 2,500 bills for 6months of property taxes on a $200,000 home.

Yikes.

I hope that whomever wins the election is decided by like 100 votes.

That way all the partisan idiots can hoot and screech at each other for my entertainment for another 6 months with claims of vote fraud.

More lies from the radical right. Walker received around 626,000 votes to the democrats that received 670,000. If that would have been the recall election itself, Walker would have been sent packing

There were two very well liked candidates (as the massive turnouts reflects) but don't worry, everyone that supports freedom and liberty is going to rally around Barrett so they can have their do-over to vote for the right person this time, and not that scumbag Walker

The recall is about Walker forcing his Koch owned fascist agenda on the state and his attacks on the middle class. His horrific far right agenda has also driven the state into dead last in the nation for job creation, they are losing 1,000's of jobs a month,..Walker has been an absolute nightmare, and this puppet to the Koch's will be thrown out on his rear where he belongs soon enough

Then explain why Walker is still in office.

By your assertion, the recall should have worked.

That wasn't the recall election, it was a primary to select the candidates for the recall election next month

More spin from the left, you assume that all those votes would have still went to the single dem, you cannot prove that.

I'm still waitnig for those 1,000,000 plus people to show up, who signed that petition.

Implode for Nov 2012?

They WILL be so thoroughly depressed and demoralized that it could endanger obama's "lock" on WI.

Rasmussen has Walker up 5 over Barret today.

Oh...so you're counting ALL the dems in the primary, even though some were fake?

Do you realize how BAD for the Left/union Walker's massive turnout is?

That he ACTUALLY HAD MORE VOTES than Barret/Falk COMBINED?

Supposed, 17% of republicans voted in the dem primary to muck it up. Include those and Walker's totals add up to all dems combined.

This wasn't supposed to happen, was it? Where's the enthusiasm on the Left/union side? They got LESS votes than recall signatures.
