Not a good month for the WI GOP party (http://new.scenenewspaper.com/2014/05/wisconsin-gops-bad-month/)
-the scandal who forced a rep state senator to retire (Ellis: his district: D+1 Obama carried twice)
-The retirement of Petri: tea party vs gop establishment race: Grothman vs Leithman. The establishment should win, but Leithman's district is now open (R+3).
-Their senate majority leader was forced to resign because of a sex harassment scandal.

Wisconsin is now a toss up for  Cook.

Too soon, and they underestimate Walker.
And I say that as someone who deeply hates him.

No they don't. They're acknowledging the good chunk of votes in the recall that simply opposed the idea of a recall and they are acknowledging the polls, especially the huge Marquette one. Tied and the campaign has barely started? Toss up.

I don't think the Kochs will let Walker lose, even if they have to spend $100 million for him.

I'm not talking about "the Romneys", I'm talking about Willard M. Romney. Remember, your presidential nominee from a year and a half ago? I can understand why you'd like to forget though.

Yeah, if you count Romney's life as "work", then Burke's should as well. And the Mormon Missionary crap don't count dawg.

Lets weigh this out:
A) Willard has a habit of building billion dollar companies from scratch or the scrape heap.  That's work any way you define it.
B) Dick Burke's daughter has a habit of taking several year long snowboarding sabbaticals from    "her job" at daddies company.  That isn't work any way you look at it.   

...I keep hoping the lefties will be coherent and logical and examine facts, but no.  They only offer hypocrisy, inconsistent, and flawed emotional 'thoughts'. 
This instance is an example.  Democrats make up some standard for Romney or Ryan that they supposedly don't meet (which dems have to kinda lye and fudge about, but wtev). If you take THEIR OWN STANDARD and apply it to THEIR candidate, than they are forced to confront the fact that Burke obviously doesn't meet their own standard.  So then you get these interesting child-like reactions "grrrr ahhh  Ryan, Romney are sort of as bad as our candidate if you lie about them... grrr damn GOP is racist anyway."

 Just say we were wrong to make that crap up about Romney and Ryan and we are ready to move on without manufacturing class warfare, as that is the only way we can logically support Marry Burke whose only actual political asset is her entirely inherited wealth.  I understand you can't because the brain dead in your base actually believe your false narratives and are thus permanently programmed to hate on an ideological basis and mob dynamics.

- Baldwin did much better then Obama up Nort (little bit of Wisconsin lingo, lol) and in the Minneapolis exurbs. Wondering if race had something to do this is difference or if it was more about their opinions on Obama's performance as President.    
I think there was a stronger reaction to the labor union shenanigans at the start of Walker's term.

Since Walker is from Milwaukee, this area would not naturally identify with him.  In much of this area, a teacher's salary is a pretty good salary, and because of the less dense population, teachers are more integrated in the local community.  So there would be more of a shock when teachers skip class to go to Madison.  And the occupation of the capital would be seen more as a trashing of the capital to someone who may have only been there once or twice, if at all.

Take a look at the Walker recall vote, vs his original election and it looks much the same as your map.

They still have "protesters" in the capitol.  I'm told they sing socialist songs in the rotunda everyday around noon...  in a manner that scares (and scars) school children on tours.

Didn't happen (as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure).  He had access to capitol, so I don't see why he would want any money from his parents.  Mitt isn't a taker like most wealthy democrats.  Mitt had more money than his dad by far when he died, so he donated his entire inheritance to endow a college in his father's name.  It's like every lefty automatically assumes parents have to throw money at their kids and kids have to be net takers... or they are trying to perpetrate a lie about someone.  Again, can't support Burke by your own standard.

Oh yes the Solidarity Sing Along. To be honest it's kind of amusing at this point; half the time you can't even tell what they're protesting anymore. Truthfully that's not uncommon in this town in general. You tune it out after a while. Such is life.

I don't think the Solidarity Sing Along is particularly helpful to the Democrats' cause. I think they look ridiculous. But they have a right to look ridiculous.

'Scars'? You can't be serious.
