Not talking about available jobs, talking about job losses/gains. Good to know when the numbers work in your favor they are rock solid (even though they are from a survey of 3.5% of total businesses), but when the Government comes out with revised corrected numbers that are based on 96.5% of businesses they are completely made up and false since they didn't come out in your favor. Totally explains why there is a recall in WI right now....

If somehow Barrett wins then the dems get what they want. It will be solely because they get their people to the polls. good for them. Then we will see what they will do to rectify the problems of the state.

Walker declares his loss due to voter fraud (pre-emptively)
 
Walker declares that if he loses his election, it will be due to massive and substantial one-sided voter fraud and Democratics cheating.

His allegation, of course, is completely disproven by ... well, facts.

But this is Scotty Walker. Facts don't matter.

Walker said: "I’ve always thought in this state, close elections, presidential elections, it means you probably have to win with at least 53 percent of the vote to account for fraud. One or two points, potentially."

That’s enough to change the outcome of the election. “Absolutely. I mean there’s no question why they went to court and fought [to undo] voter ID.”
There might be some question. The voter fraud issue was investigated in Wisconsin fairly recently, in the form of an Election Fraud Task Force and a deep dive into 2008's vote results.

The yearlong investigation charged 20 people -- this in an election with around 3 million ballots.

For fraud to equal "one or two points" in that election, you'd have needed 30,000-60,000 phony ballots.

The proven fraud actually amounted to 0.0007 percent of all votes.

The people who oppose voter ID laws say they're doing it to rescue the votes of poor or elderly people who lack current IDs. Sure, yes, this would probably be the cover story they'd use if they were trying to make life easier for criminals. But perhaps they're not! It's a possibility Walker rules out.

Interesting again that when you are supplied with facts that you believe work in your or the democrats favor they are the gospel, but when the facts work against you they are made up.

I noticed you skirted the whole Tom Barrett not showing up for the Ceremony for the fallen police officers in the City of Milwaukee when he was supposed to give a speach. Luckily someone with integrity and caring was there to step in and spend time with those families. When Barrett was asked the next day where he was he said " I don't remember I will have to check my schedule and get back to you". Well if it was so important that he couldn't be there to help support those officers that gave their lives in his City you would think he would have known at least where he was. Amazing that all other politicians found time to be there, but Barrett did not. Oh yeah Barrett was campaigning with some union members. Not a smart campaign move for Tommy

Obama and the dems are distancing themselves from Barrett. Campaign is crumbling and Barrett is trying desparately to hold on to what he has left. The only thing he has is the "John Doe" investigation, which has been addressed already numerous times. Good luck in 2 weeks

Wisconsin only has magical "job gains" when using a unique and individualized methodology to calculate, outside the normal and outside of what every single state in the country, including Wisconsin, use normally.

The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics jobless numbers are the gold standard.

Except when Scott Walker doesn't like them showing the worse job loss in the country in Wisconsin under his watch ;)

Did you want to stick to ad hominem?

Didn't know I was supposed to address it here. Why don't you?

Obama will probably be in Wisconsin in the next two weeks. The head of the DNC will be there for sure. So not sure what you are thinking regarding "distancing". It's rather the opposite.

Good luck to you, too! I hope the turnout is legendary, thus truly represents the will of the people of Wisconsin.

"My idol got more votes. So that makes it totally not embarrassing. This country is going to be in fine shape."

You're just shockingly dumb.

Not ready to underestimate the dems yet. They have buses running in the city of milwaukee getting people to the polling place. There is early voting going on and the dems are doing their best to get out the vote. It will be closer than it should be.

You're shockingly dumb to think that "uncommitted" on the Dem side is some magical referendum on Obama's performance in this Tea Bag state. With a 14% voter turnout.

But hey - if the vote were held yesterday, Obama creams Romney. Ouch. Weird. That won't hold up in the fall.

132 million votes for the American Idol tonight. Too bad the November election won't have the same turnout. Good to know America has it's priorities in place.

Wow you're embarrassing yourself again. Does it ever get old?

Democrats hold the majority for registered voters in this state by a significant margin, you insufferable twat.

Those results are bad for your boyfriend no matter how you spin it. To believe otherwise should get you a first class ticket to Western State Hospital.

KY is a closed primary state, correct? How does the Tea Party have anything at all to do with the outcome? Why would the Tea Party have anything at all to do with what the registered Dems in KY, who actually have their eyes open and are sickened by the abject failure they are witnessing, voicing this displeasure at the polls?

You actually have the gall to dismiss their rights to voice their discontent with their president as wacko Tea Baggers??

Huh? Not that I give a crap one way or the other, but there isn't a poll in the world that indicates this is remotely the case. In fact the majority of them show Romney with the lead.

Of course, you never said it, and/or it was taken out of context. I'll save us all the insufferable pages of retort.

I really would hope that you could explain, without debasing people, what you end goal here is? You have played your hand and have exposed yourself for what you are, and you haven't convinced a soul that the criticisms of your behavior are without warrant.

Haven't you heard? It's racism, of course.
http://wizbangblog.com/2012/05/23/wa...ail-is-racism/
Certainly it wasn’t Obama’s elitism, or his anti-Americanism, or his sleazy Chicago cronies, or his youthful infatuation with cocaine and Marxist professors, or his long-time association with a radical domestic terrorist, or his membership in a church led by one of the most inflammatory Black separatist pastors in the country. Nah, it couldn’t possibly be any of those things that disinterested voters in the South. It must be because he is half African. Because that’s all we ever think about down here.

I know you're an angry radical anarchist of sadly limited two adjective verbal ability, but Obama didn't win this state in 2008, and won't ever even come close in 2012.

He could have gotten zero votes in Kentucky, and all it would mean is that the few Dem voters in Louisville, Lexington and one county in Appalachia were at a sports game. And turnout was 8% rather than 14%.
