Wisconsin Megathread

She's actually doubling down with an ad defending it. NRO also has a Burke profile.

[ElectionsGuy]

The most ironic thing is she's on the Madison Board of Education.

[Lief 🗽]

Not sure if crazy or just crazy enough to work.

SCOTUS blocks WI voter ID law.

A great victory for the people!

Looking forward to watching the gubernatorial debate tonight.

Yeah, Schimel's a damn joke.

[Brewer]

I only caught the ending of the debate, but it certainly seemed like Walker was making attempts to appear softer and more compassionate, with Burke bringing up a tougher attitude. Hopefully throughout the debate she didn't seem too mean or stiff.

[RogueBeaver]

Needle didn't move.

I watched the full debate with my parents. Both repeated talking points, nonsense slogans like "giveaways to the top and rich" or "protecting hard working tax payers of Wisconsin". Topics discussed were Minimum Wage, Act 10, Full Term, Medicaid expansion, the Budget, Jobs plan, Voter ID (with the recent decision), Abortion, and Energy/Environment. I think Burke did good in the beginning of the debate, while Walker did better near the end of the debate. I think Walker won, because I tend to agree or have a closer position to him on most issues, but it really contestable whether that debate would impact the election. Probably not. Burke was starting to slip near the end, and Walker slipped in the abortion and voter ID questions (the least relevant part of the debate anyway).

There's another one next week. On a separate note, I don't think I'll watch a debate with my parents again, they literally think Burke is a socialist.

[The Dowager Mod]

No really what do you think of Wisconsin voters? LOL.

Robert Costa: Walker is the most worried he's been in four years

Hopefully Wisconsin voters will relieve that stress on Election Day.

Yep, Walker certainly won't have much to worry about anymore after election day.

Walker's camp accusing Christie of intentionally under-funding him to get rid of a 2016 rival!

Email from conservative grandee: if Walker loses, it'll be "like when [Christie] didn't show up in [PA] for Romney"

Robert Costa also reports on his twitter that Burke is preparing to go nuclear in the final 10 days, hitting Walker hard on his scandals and the 2011 union saga.

Looks like Burke's got the wind in her sails now! Her closing ad is really fantastic IMO. Manages to tie all the themes of her and others' attacks on Walker together.

Sounds like Walker and his crew are hitting the panic button. That's not an accusation you throw around 11 days before an election you think you're going to win.

Looks like Walker's campaign may be the George Washington bridge of 2014. Serves them right for keeping a corrupt puffer fish as the RGA chairman.

You almost never hear stories like this when things are going well. This is awesome news! Only 12 more days!

He's not entirely wrong. Christie is a huge crook.

[Flake]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true, Christie should have never been trusted with this amount of money/power. He's using it to serve himself. Isn't he also airing ads with Kasich in Ohio just because?

Yeah, him and Corbett are getting money inspite of their individual situations, meanwhile Walker is getting f-ed in the a on saturday.

[Miles]

^ Yep, if I were a Republican donor I'd be pretty pissed Christie is sending millions to Corbett while underfunding Walker.

No, it's critically important that Corbett loses by 10 rather than 20 and that Kasich wins by 30 rather than 20. Walker losing by 1 instead of winning by 1? That's just not as high on the priority list.

It seems the tub of lard is as incompetent at managing money as he is at managing his staff.

How many god damn credit downgrades has he had? All they seem to care about is putting a happy face on the party instead of running people who can actually do their god damn job.

[Eraserhead]

Walker camp seems to be getting pretty close to meltdown mode.

And two years from now he's going to run for President saying that he'll balance the budget.
