Walker wins easily vs these Clowns.Barret is one of the worst mayors in the Nation . We certainly dont want him to turn the state into what he has done for Milwaukee. Walker all the way.....again ...again and again !

We are united in our disdain for Scooter.
The Koch Brothers can give Walker all the money they want and buy tons of commercials, but we have the people.

Almost 80% of Walkers donation were $50 or less, with lots of PEOPLE giving those donations. There is great support for him to finally reign in government. He's already made significant results and that will be hard to beat, especially by a completly failed Mayor.

Apparently not that united. Hmmm...Scooter is getting more votes than all the unioncrats combined...

No different than the unions from all over the country filling the Dems coffers. Same same.

How much sewage did Barrett pump into the lake on Sunday??

We don't know. But we know that when he campaigned against Pratt that he ran a commercial that slammed Pratt for not solving the problem in the 60 short days Pratt was in office.

For the people who still believe there is a War on Women..............Opponents of SB 202 Continue to Receive False Ratings for Misstatements of the Law
Opponents of Senate Bill 202 (2011 Wisconsin Act 219), which repeals punitive and compensatory damages under the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, continue to make claims that the law has taken away employees’ rights to sue for employment discrimination.
For the second time, PolitiFact (which is part of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) has determined that this argument is false. The latest PolitiFact false rating was given to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Falk, who said that the Republican Legislature passed a bill that doesn’t allow women to “do something about” pay discrimination.

Under Walker Wisconsin is dead last in job creation.
#50 out of 50 states.
Recall Walker!

And most of those job loses were from Barrett. Try again...hehehe

Of course Scooter might get arrested before June 5th with his cohorts under the John Doe investigation.
Arrest or Recall - which will be first for Walker?

We are not the wackos. I had a young woman teacher, about 26, in Hudson come up and physically shove me because I holding a Walker sign when they were protesting his being at a company here. The police had to tell her to back away from me. By the way, I am 61.

Has anyone noticed that Walker has more votes than all the Dems put together? Not suprised at all. Barretts delusions of grandeur will once again mean defeat. Sorry Dems, Wisconsin doesn't want to look like Milwaukee...hehehe

It is a mandate to reaffirm Walker's agenda! Some GOP people even crossed over to vote for a democrat - with intentions of voting for Walker in the general election.

@Brian Dey
Thanks for pointing that out.
I expected the opposite given the number of Walker supporters (aprox. 30%) I know that said that they could not or would not be voting today. The young people I know were especially prone to be "too busy" to vote in this election given their class load. Ironically, when I went to the District polling station, an unusually large number of students that looked like they were about the age of 18 came out of the polling station with "I Stand With Walker" T-shirts on. They told me they had to cover their shirts in order to enter, but the crowed inside already had cheered.
Odd.

Yep Brian . Conservatives showed up more than the liberals on a day they really didnt need to . It's telling.
I am watching Barrett give his laughable speech. He never mention how he destroyed Milwaukee once. No One with half a brain wants this state to be run like the embarrasing city of Milwaukee.

@Tom
Do you live in the Arrowhead School District? I ask because I saw 4 girls come out wearing those shirts. I also had all my young relatives that are in school make the same comments (i.e. they don't have time to vote). They will most certainly vote in June.
Craig

The student Barrett backers will not come out in June. They will all be crowded around the bong while the news shows the general election results. "Damn dude, I thought it was still May."
Typical uninformed Liberals....

It sure is a shame knowing all this is a big waste of time and money. This money could be put to good use on our students
