How? By following the Obama example and continually spending more than you take in and blame it on someone else?

Or were not reported on in the exit polls in an effort to influence the contest.

Right-to-work states are also getting richer over time. Prof. Vedder found a 23% higher per capita income growth rate in right-to-work states than in forced-union states, which over the period 1977-2007 amounted to a $2,760 larger increase in per-person income in those states. That’s a giant differential.

No more blogs! At least read the actual facts first.

I'm willing to bet some of the taxpayers are middle class, or dont they count?

Please list these expenses..

Yes, because they are mostly ex-Minnesotans who were living in the Twin Cities before they crossed the state line into WI for lower real estate prices.

It was Kerry/Bush exit polling all over again. The same people that run up to the microphone and yell and get in your face are only too happy to run to the exit pollers while the silent people just do their business and leave. Also, there is no law that says you have to tell an exit poller the truth. If you feel intimidated, worry who might follow you home or to your car, you might lie.

I'm glad they are wrong. It makes the TV people less apt to call any election early and wait for more results to come in.

When we have the final numbers, let's see which polling outfit came the closest in their poll taken before the voting opened.

Governor Walker, in his speech last night, should have thanked the bussed-in union people for coming into his state and stimulating the Wisconsin economy. Seriously, I bet hotel, restaurant and transportation money was never so good over the last few months.

Could you explain what you mean by "at the expense of the middle class" what expense?

FYI, a Wall Street Journal "blog" article is not factual research.
