Scott Walker recall goes live

[RogueBeaver]

As much as I dislike Walker, I think that recalling him is a very bad idea for Democrats.  TBH Walker is just not that unpopular, and we (Democrats) will probably face an embarrassing loss if he goes to the ballot.  I kind of just wish we could end this story with our win on Ohio Issue 2 last month.

Hmm, we're in agreement on the recall. Though I staunchly oppose the idea of recalls and direct democracy (exception is if it involves independence or fundamental constitutional changes) generally, regardless of the country or circumstance.

Yeah, Walker is not unpopular, just polarizing from the last polling I saw.

So far Barrett is winning Dane County by 2-1. Curbstomp.

Barrett also used Walker's bill to balance his own city budget. Unions weren't too happy about that.

Last time PPP/MLS released close together, MLS had Walker 51/45 and PPP 50/45. So I'm guessing Walker 49/45 or something like that.

Marquette had Obama up 8 in the same poll that had Walker up by 7, BTW.

[RogueBeaver]

Most polls have Kleefisch ahead by slightly smaller margins than Walker.

CNN will have it live, but if you want Internet results Politico is usually the fastest.

Should also keep this as a separate tab- CNN's 2010 results map.

Walker is only down 56-44 in Dane county with 15% in.

Careful, these votes are not Madison proper according to the Cheeseheads at Ace of Spades (which has the fastest tally besides CNN live, BTW).

[RogueBeaver]

MSNBC and NBC call it for Walker. Booh yah. Ya socked it to 'em, Guv!

[RogueBeaver]

I doubt that Walker will win by such a huge margin. 8-9 once Milwaukee/Madison come in.

[RogueBeaver]

Looks like 8-9, with 77% in it's 56-43.
