Wisconsin recall slipping away from Democrats
by Aaron Blake, washingtonpost blogs -- 05/18/2012
Just two and a half weeks remain in the recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), and momentum seems to be firmly on the GOP’s side.

Barrett, meanwhile, has no such luxury. The latest Marquette University Law School poll of this race showed his favorable rating at just 37 percent, compared to 45 percent who view him unfavorably.

A loss of any of the bigger traditionally blue states -- particularly Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin -- would scramble the Obama math and make matters much easier for Mr. Romney, allowing him to lose in Virginia or Ohio without that automatically jeopardizing his chances.

Standing back and waiting to see
what happens in Wisconsin, is exactly the wrong course to take
-- if you are actually serious about people-empowered politics.

Obama-Biden team ... last time I checked Wisconsin is a Midwestern Swing State. A deep purple State that you NEED to win ... stop standing on the sidelines -- and Pick a Side Already!
Stand up for the union-decimated people of Wisconsin. The Time is Now. Later will be too late.
About those high favorables Work-at-Will Walker is now enjoying -- Don't forget who he works for Wisconsin. Don't forget what he has already done to your state:
