Romney's chances in Wisconsin

[Nichlemn]

If Obama falls a lot more with uneducated whites relative to educated whites, as polls indicate, then Wisconsin may be a tipping point state.

[Nichlemn]

If Walker wins the recall (which I expect he will), then Wisconsin will be in play, and more so than it is now.

Why? I mean it's something of an indication of Republican support, but do you think there some kind of discrete energising effect that will occur if Walker wins by 1 vote but not if he loses by 1 vote?
