Answer: Because Walker looks likely to win.  It was a huge deal in the press a few weeks ago, but now we're hearing why it's not such a big deal.  If Walker does win, the whole recall effort will end up being a colossal waste of time & money, all thanks to the Democrats and their union thug allies.

My God our elections waste so much time and resources.  Ah well.

Interesting.  I thought polls had them pretty close.

What kind of poll lead we talking here?  6, 7 points?

Far from a done deal, foetus loever.  I did hear that he transferred quite a bit from his legal defense fund to the campaign, though.

To be fair, both groups hate you about the same, and want nothing more than to fuck you over.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Explain to me how unions are trying to fuck me over by protecting themselves.

That's easy: by taking money out of your pocket or bankrupting your state government.

Please explain to me how the Koch brothers are fucking me over.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Last poll I saw had Walker by 7: http://news.yahoo.com/wisconsins-walker-widens-lead-recall-election-poll-175216641.html

The shit was clearly hitting the fan for Barrett last week when his own campaign's poll had him down by 3 or 4.  Shortly after that was made public, there were all kinds of rumors of Democrats pulling back funding & appearances.

Obama's campaign is certainly distancing itself:

http://news.yahoo.com/wisconsins-walker-widens-lead-recall-election-poll-175216641.html

Quote"This is a gubernatorial race with a guy who was recalled and a challenger trying to get him out of office," Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said on MSNBC Wednesday. "It has nothing to do with President Obama at the top of the ticket."

Where I disagree with a lot of the over-excited GOP analysts is the effect a Walker win will have in November.  I think it's entirely possible that Walker wins and then Obama takes the state.  I don't see the linkage between the two races, given that they're taking place 5 months apart.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
