    Take him out of office. The beginning of getting rid of the teabaggers.

    At least I hope not. He has really screwed up the state and anyone who votes for him is really nothing more than a socialist for the rich.

    He cannot win through any legitimate means.I look for all sorts of chicanery that surpasses the Florida election theft.One person one vote will kill him politically.

    I honestly don't know. He has a huge war chest funded mostly by outside sources, including millions from the Koch Bros. He's already buying up huge amounts of ads and we know how far too many folks just take soundbites to make their decisions. The thing is, we are seeing the results of his governing in the huge cuts in our school districts, the enormous amount of money he has given to the job creators who have created no jobs, (sound familiar) and the incompetent cronies he has appointed to important positions.....For instance our DNR chief replaced a long time highly educated environmental specialist with a high school grad, (who gave a generous donation) whose only experience in the outdoors was when she went turkey hunting with her grandpa as a little girl.

    The one interesting factor however is that Walker is currently enmeshed in a John Doe investigation about using his taxpayer-paid staffers to work on his campaigns, a felony. Already one of them is being indicted and there is another one reportedly singing like a bird.

    Recall was instituted so that the public did not have to endure corrupt politicans and corporate shills for the entire length of their terms. It makes politicans more directly accountable to the people, because the public does not have to wait for cases to drag on in court. Ironically Walker got his job as County Executive out of Milwaukee as the result of a Recall and he was one of the main perpetrators of it. Now he wants to outlaw it.

    Not bloody likely, and his republican colleagues in the Wisc. statehouse didn't exactly help him with their new law stripping women of the right to sue in state court for equal pay which he failed to veto.

    Well then if the states do, they could very well be in a world of hurt. I wonder if there is a special prison for corrupt governors because that's what we have. If you want him darlin', you can have him.

    If the people in Wisconsin who want him recalled play their cards right and not let up it's just possible that can get the law over turned.

    On the merits, he has no chance. The only way he will survive is if the Koch brothers spend enough to make it happen. After Citizens United, that is a real possibility.

    We are also attempting to turn out four more legislators. When he took office he had a very good senate majority, thus his bravery in coming after the middle class worker. We were able to turn out two of the four taking his majority to one, and then one of his tea party supported coherts up and resigned and left in one day. If we can at least flip the senate, even if we can't toss him, we can stop that obscene Agenda. I would even be satisfied with that.

    I agree, i hope here in Indiana we can do the same. Since we are not allowed to have recall elections, I am hoping enough people are pissed off about the RTW law that we can bring in enough labor supporters from both sides and overturn the decision.

    Heck our state is so red, you wouldn't hear anything about it unless you were down town when it was going on. We had marches going on during the week before the superbowl and all anyone heard about was the superbowl. If Mitch would have ran for president, he probably would have won, Republicans love that guy as much as they did Reagan i think.

    I'm trying to remember some of the foibles of the tea party governors who were elected in '10. Was Scott the one who has some family issues he just as soon not come up? I believe he (or one of the others), remarried hs ex-wife and the family wanted no part of the intense scruitny. I could be wrong on this, but I thought I remembered that.

    Not a chance, whether he deserves to or not. His opposition is the government union. As Ann Coulter put it on my campus Tuesday, every union worker is going to "have it marked on a calender" while most others are going to wake up the next morning to "honey, did you know there was an election yesterday?

    It's close. The people are donating to Warren and the GOP are donating to Walker.
    It will be interesting to see who has most power: the people or the politicians.

    I'm sure that no individual person donated to Walker. None. And the people keeping Walker in, voting for him, I'm sure that isn't a representation of the people's choice. And I am also sure that the Dems haven't given any money, either to the election candidates or the recall efforts. None what so ever. Except for these 6759 donations JUST from individuals to Scott Walker. That doesn't include:
    Small businesses,
    Large businesses,
    organizations,
    Churches or religious groups,
    ETC.

    So, you might try not making things up. It usually helps you make a coherent argument.

    And Warren who? According to the Wisconsin government accountability board, there isn't anyone named warren running:

    Actually, Walker will be trounced because it is a specail election. Government workers will show up in droves, lead by their unions, while the majority of non-government people will not. I believe a recall should not count unless at least 3/4th of the previous votes are cast.
