Scott Walker recall goes live

[rob in cal]

It just turned November 15 in Wisconsin, and the recall campaign against Scott Walker has officially started.  I wonder if they will get the 500 k signatures they need, thats a big number.

As of yesterday, a spokesperson said that they have 50k signatures so far.  One would think that the first wave of signatures would be easiest to get, but then again this is during the week, without big weekend events yet.

I'd be interested in hearing from people in Wisconsin about what they've seen so far on the ground.  Is there a noticeable presence of petitioners all over the place?  Are random people talking about it?

Now organizers claim 300k signatures.  Looks like they are going to make it.

Also, with such a huge turnout, I wonder if the turnout model that the exit polls are using are skewed.  I'm also wondering if the size of the early/absentee vote is unprecedented, and thus being underreported by the exit polls.

Walker is getting huge margins in smaller GOP leaning counties, in Fond du Lac he is ahead of 2010 numbers with 44% of county reporting. But, wonder if Dane and Milwaukee tsunami is headed our way.
