And, to a certain extent, polling for this unprecedented race is a bit of guessing game, Franklin said.
No one knows which voters, and how many, will turn out on election day, he said.
The Government Accountability Board, the state's election watchdog, estimated this week that voter turnout would be between 60 percent and 65 percent.
But even GAB Director and general counsel Kevin Kennedy said, “Wisconsin has never had a statewide recall election, which makes predicting turnout difficult.”
In the end, Franklin said, what matters is which candidate has the most votes Tuesday.
“None of these polls are going to determine who’s going to win the election,” he said.

I give not one fuck about Walker, I just want to see the unions lose and am dismayed that the gap isn't wider.
-
the gap may well be wider. When Repubs have slim leads, the reality is often a far larger lead. Still, the unions are pouring a shit ton of money into this, they will have the goon squad out in full force next Tuesday, and they count on the ignorance of a certain percentage of the public.
-
This is a case where Walker is performing a public service by kicking the Public Employee Unions in the balls. If he can follow this up by ass raping them somehow, I will only applaud all the more.
-
I wouldn't get too excited about this yet. Nothing more dangerous then a cornered animal which is wht the unions are at this point. They have "enthusiasm" on their side.

What JB said. Remember Ohio....
-
Ohio was a done deal from the beginning. The whole framing of that debate was well done by the pro-union side.
-
Plus Northeast Ohio still remains a cesspool for Union activity.

Just wait though - when the 20% school aid cuts come, I want to watch everyone shed tasty tears even though SB5 would have prevented this.
-
The most ironic part about last november's election was the fact that SB5 failed and yet school levies were failing all across different areas of the state.
I cannot wait for the day when we get rid of these leeches.

Wisconsin has a long history of significant voter fraud. It ain't over til the last lawyer is sent home.

It took me all of 2 seconds to type "voter fraud in Wisconsin" into Google.
-
And the very first link is PolitiFact, saying that recent allegations of Voter Fraud by Reince Preibus and Scott Walker were http://www.politifact.com/wisc.....need-do/"false.
Cool Deceit, Fuckwit.

If the Marquette Law School poll says 7%, more likely the reality is 12%.

Sorta like hoping for Mittens, except in this case Walker did something.

"20 percent of those polled said Wisconsin has more jobs now than it did a year ago. That’s up to 38 percent in the poll released Wednesday—an 18-percent increase in two weeks"
No, that's an 18-point increase, or an increase of around 90%.
-
Fun with numbers! You can always trust a newspaper reporter:
'We found a 100% increase in the number of folks who support X!'
Yep. last week it was one, now it's two -

He is campaigning for a long time and he is doing very good.
-
Seventy-seven percent of those polled last week said they had heard or read about the John Doe investigation, http://www.riemeninnl.com/riem-ferragamo-c-15.html up 5 percentage points from February.

We just had Martin Sheen visiting central Ohio to support statist Sherrod Brown. He is the finest of limousine liberals. I hope his trip home ends badly.
