I have confidence in the extraordinary work done by thousands and thousands of ordinary Wisconsinites. I have confidence in the analysis that says there are more than enough votes out there for us to get this weekend. I am confident that the right people at the right time are making this happen.

This is the final weekend. This is the weekend it all changes. This is the final push to push him out. And we are doing it. We are doing it in Madison. In Green Bay. In Oshkosh. In La Crosse. In Black River Falls. This is one of the most superbly organized campaigns ever.

Things are shifting in the right direction. I've been able to sit in on some strategy meetings and there's a lot of good news in terms of votes out there that will easily put us over the top.

The right is trying to discourage us by pushing that Marquette poll saying that Barrett is 5 point down from Walker. I teach statistics and I can tell you that all polling is meaningless at this point. There are too many hangups from the Barrett supporters to get a meaningful sample. What's really going on is that what we're doing is too new to know what's going to happen. All bets are off.

We are in uncharted territory. We're on the cutting edge of unprecedented political change. This has the DNC running scared. The Koch Brothers running scared. ALEC running scared. This level of political involvement by normal middle Americans is everything they don't want to see. They are trying to drag us back to their narrative of dismal expectations. Forget it.

They foresaw none of this. Not Scott Walker being recalled. Not Scott Fitzgerald being recalled. Not Dale Schultz standing strong and blocking the mine. None of it. They saw none of it. They don't know what's gonna happen June 5th.

All voting is identity voting. To engage swing voters, they have to see themselves in the ad.We need to live where they live and then walk them through the conversion experience.

The setting is a very Wisconsin bar. Three people are sitting at a table eating. They talk to each other. They don't talk to the camera. One is a white man, a businessman. He says “Yeah I voted for Walker. But he turns out to be terrible for Wisconsin. I’m really worried about what’s going on with the economy. He’s killing it for businesses. All my friends can’t believe how much worse things are now.

Another man, say “I thought he was gonna bring the jobs. That’s all I want, but I’m not seeing any jobs.

Third person, woman, says “I’ve been a Republican my whole life. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this recall business until I saw all this job loss. But this guy is just bringing down the state. He’s the wrong guy. I want someone else.

Note- don’t talk about unions. Talk bout unions won’t get thas last 5-10,000 we need.

Note- keep the focus on Walker. He’s on the defensive. Keep him that way.

Note- Can use this format to respond to attack ads and their distortions. We will win by keeping control of the narrative.

Wisconsin assembly mandates chastity belts for all women over 13.

"We've done our darndest to show that we really, really don't like women having sex. We've gotten rid of contraceptive coverage, teen sex ed and made getting an abortion a scary humiliating process. But we're worried. Those darn women might still go out and have sex. And, god forbid, enjoy it. that's not good. In the spirit of turning the clock back we're going back to the 13th century. Or some darn century. Who knows. Not us, can't stand reading about history. Whenever they had chastity belts. What a great idea. time to bring it back."

Here's how it'll work. On her 13th birthday, after the cake and presents, we'll lock her in a chastity belt. She can use the color. What about when she wants to have sex. We have that covered. She will have to be over 25. Then she can apply for a permit. In order to get

The Democrats are way to happy to say to women "Better vote for us or else (dramatic music plays). Before it was choice, but now contraception is in play. They'll do this and then sit on their hands when push comes to shove. Male Dems all too often back away from any of this fight when needed. They all squirm and wiggle and walk backward away from it all. They don't get to do that any more. Women's issues are not some afterthought. Women are people, not a separate species with some embarrassing plumbing issues. And I don't care if you're not a father, or have sisters. Women's rights are human rights. Our rights have to be front and center. None of this mealy mouth, don't want to offend, maybe there are cultural differences nonsense.

A lot of names being talked about to run against Walker. It doesn't matter WHO we run, if the HOW doesn't change. Same old messaging will lead to same old terrible election night watch parties. I can't stomach another Kloppenberg debacle. What has to change is our messaging.

Who knows what's going to happen with the recall. On one level we have already won- we keep bringing it. By the way it's Walker who keeps saying the Wisconsinites are tired of recalls. Duh. Of course he wishes that was true.

Since I've started singing with Solidarity Sing-along I can't stop writing new lyrics to songs. Genesis's That's All turns into:

Why does it always seem to be, You taking my rights away from me,
It's always the same, it's just a shame that's all.
The truth is the right loves you, more that it ought to,
There's been no justice since you came.

You should leave, but you won't go.
We're gonna recall you, you know.
It's always the same, it's just a shame that's all.

Michael Jackson redux is right. You and I have to grab the idea of what America is away from our corporate overlords. We have to bring back and hammer home the basis of our country is a social compact.

Citing statistical studies that show that women's smaller brain sizes make it impossible for a woman to make the complex calculations needed to vote, the Republican majority overwhelmingly voted tonight to rescind voting rights for women. Republicans noted that there were further studies that demonstrate that most women have a dyslexia wherein they confuse the letters "d" and "r".

Now that GAB has done as little as possible to get to the bottom of Corrupt Kathy's strange counting, Kloppenburg has until Wednesday to ask for a recount. Which she should do.

The Fantastic Fourteen can't come back until a lot of the budget repair bill is killed. While we have the upper hand they have got to demand more that just not union busting.

Scott Walker stinks of failure. He doesn't have the roots in either the national or state Republican party to survive this. The stench of desperation is all over him and the Republicans are starting to run the opposite way.
