Wisconsin Megathread

TBH, it does seem highly unlikely any GOP Secretary of State honestly believes in voter fraud.

State Senators really aren't "nobodies" in Gubernatorial elections.

Vinehout seems like a decent candidate, were she to run.

I love Evers' message, but he needs to be able to sound fired up, which I never got in the video.

No need to sound "fired up" in local Wisconsin politics. It's practically the norm to be exactly the opposite.

Really? We saw how control v emotion worked out the last cycle.

How is the LtG determined in WI? Do candidates declare their intended at filing, or only after the primary? If the latter, would Evers/Vinehout be strong?

Evers/Vinehout teaming up would probably be the strongest option for Dems, right?

Yeah, I'd say so. Problem is, Wisconsin doesn't have running mates. The primaries for Governor and Lieutenant Governor are separate, and the winners run on the same general election ticket.

Any chance she drops down?

And who's running for Lt. Governor, anyway?

[BuckeyeNut]

What are the odds Evers wins but Kleefisch is re-elected? Is she likely to outperform or underperform Walker?

The primaries are separate but the Governor and LtG run on the same ticket

Except for the recall, which was separate for both Gov and LtG?

[BuckeyeNut]

Horrid numbers for the Dems in this poll. Walker treading even with all his struggles means he can only improve in his numbers from here.

Not with a 12% gap in voter enthusiasm.

It will be hard for him, but he's in a better position right now than I thought he would be by the end of his presidential run. Being back to 47/47 really does mean he has a fighting chance to get a third term, especially considering that no one knows the people running against him! Sure, he'll need to find a way to get Republicans to turn out and vote for him, which is easier said than done, but if anyone can find a way, my money would be on Scott Walker.

The stupid attempt to recall Walker permitted him to build an organization to survive the recall and get him re-elected.  He may be able to gear up that organization again for a third time.

You mean fourth.
