  1. The thing that struck me about the poll was that Walker gets 48% against all the names mentioned, except for getting 47% against Feingold...and 46% against Ron Kind.

    Ron Kind?
  2. According to the pol, not only are people starting to get it, they also know they made a huge mistake in voting for johnson.

  3. What could you approve of? That extra $88 he is promising you today that will cost you $250 down the road. Oh yeah...
  4. The political sociopath is well on his way to destroying this state.

  5. I'm torn on this. I hated Walker so much I was on the square and in the rotunda when my union told me to be there. I've always voted for Obama and a Democratic party straight ticket because that's just all I've done since my Daddy(an AO Smith hard working union man) told me to do so.

    But, as we're finding out Obama's healthcare plan is going to cost a whole lot of people a bunch of cash they cannot afford. That's not the change I voted for.

    I hated Walker. But the claims by my union that the state would disintegrate because of his policies has been proven false. Taxes are going down. Districts like MPS are hiring bright you teachers. Sure, jobs haven't developed as quickly as I would like, but considering the great recession we're slowly climbing out of, I'm compelled to give him a break on that 250,000 promise.

    I don't know how I will vote in 4 years, but I'm keeping an open mind.

  6. Now why would a liberal poll and the J/S be spewing this BS so early I wonder?

  7. Sure just what Wisconsin voters go back to higher taxes with no increase in services and a pension fund for public sector workers that is not fully funded.
    As Al would say in "Home Improvement"......."I don't think so Tim."

    Thanks Governor Walker, we got your back.

  8. The Demo's could run a statue and 40% of this state would vote for it.

  9. Oostburg and Elm Grove overwhelmingly voted for Walker. Now they are starting to see cause and effect. Unless the right propaganda machine can convince these people that their school troubles are in no way related to Act 10 they may wake up. As the effects are felt throughout the state I predict the poll numbers will change. I just hope it isn't too late.

    I wish the John Doe Probe were not such a long process. Damage is being done to our state daily.
  10. Never thought baldwin had a chance and look what happened--although still can't figure out why thompson ran if all he wanted to do was not alot...anyway walker will have a tough fight in 2014 and hope not to see polls for a long time...
