I won't put much stock in these polls...turnout is the key.

Here's the problem for the dems.. It's pretty clear turnout for the GOP will be high, but as a top dem said just yesterday, his party will need to duplicate 2008 turnout to thwart the GOP.

So far, the absentee and in-person voting is not cooperating...for the democrats in vote-rich Milwaukee and Madison.

Scroll down for the excel file of county by county absentees.

Quote:
2010 total absentees: 230,000
2008 total absentees: 633,000

Comparison of returned absentees:
Waukesha County(27,100 in) trails Dane County(Madison) (28,180 in) by only 1000 absentees, behind Milwaukee County by only 7k. This despite having a fraction the population of Milwaukee and 100,000 fewer residents than Dane.
Nowhere close to 2008 levels.

So why don't you elaborate on the specifics of the two polls--we speak America, and PPP, and explain why you think We Speak America is the most accurate of the two--what exactly is it in their methodology that you think creates more accurate polling results? A little history on their track records would be helpful as well.

Crickets chirping...because you have absolutely no clue what a methodology even is. Can you do ANYTHING beside name call without understanding issues or knowing what you're talking about?

Those numbers spell doom for Barrett.

Do your own research.

The average of all polls shows Walker winning comfortably. Which he will.

Not really, many are fired up and ready to hit the polls in person, not to mention last time around the GOP sent out fake absentee ballots in an attempt to throw the election.
The freedom fighters likely don't want to take any chances of the GOP being up to even more dirty tricks,..

It would be a slam dunk election if it weren't for the corruption in the democrat party. If there were no cheating, walker will blow that mayor away...
The November election will see Romney defeat obama in the biggest landslide in presidential election history... Providing we can keep the corruption out of the election...
Buy all the stocks and Real Estate you can afford, the economy will skyrocket starting November 7, 2012..

Freedom... and Progressive micromanaging lives, are 180º of each other.

Freedom fighters are not part of the Political Establishment, as you have seen in the Hot delegate count for the GOP nomination.
