You have to hand it to Scott Walker -- he's a wingnut true believer, with the charming personality of a rock and absolutely all the political instincts of a dead fish. Because Wisconsin voters are awake now, they know that class war is being waged, and they're not going to sit and take it:

Looks like his arrogance will cost him big-time. A new poll shows that an estimate 1.1 million Wisconsin voters are willing to sign his recall petition, and that of eight Republican state senators.

Yes, elections have consequences. But when you act as if you're the only person whose opinions count, well, the voters have a way of reminding you otherwise.

I hope they try.

The majority of American people are for balanced budgets and would not stand for a person to be recalled just because he wants to balance the WI budget.

This could be the end of liberals and unions all in one big ole swipe. Now that is a good thing.

Yeah, and then you have many millions of people like me ready to send him to the White House.

Major fail.

Ad Hominem attacks are part of the problem. Thanks for your contribution to our political process, in other words, thanks for nothing.

I hate to be back seat moderator but you really should use the quote button when the words are not your own.

Having said that there is something like 6 million people in Wis. so it shouldn't be surprising.

So you have a blog saying a poll shows the Governor is going to be recalled ?

On what grounds ? People don't like what he's doing ?

I believe the poll, I mean lets be real.. If they took a poll of the percentage of voters who wanted to recall Obama, I can bet it'll be higher than 20%, which is what this poll represents.. Its no shocker that 20% of a population would support a recall of a politician.

Sounds like a plan...Walker received 1.1 Million votes in the election.

And voters in the State are squarely on the side of the protestors, what's to lose?
