Wisconsin Recall
 

Polls don't close until 8:00pm central, 9:00pm eastern time. Record turnout being reported in all districts, all across state.

Local television reporter Amy Barrilleaux reports via twitter that, due to new voter registrations today (Wisconsin is a register-to-vote day of election state), Madison City Clerk reporting turnout on pace to hit 119% in Madison.

Other places reporting record day-of-voting registrations, too.

Department of Justice is monitoring election. No reports of voter fraud. One polling place was wrongly asking voters to show photo ID to vote initially today, but they were corrected and have stopped asking (that attempt to dampen down vote turnout was overturned in court)

Can't read your blabber but plus 65% turnout and up to 90% in some counties.

Big congrats to the Gov and more to the Tea Party for getting the job done.

Bottom line. WI unemployment 6.5%, lower property taxes, and a governor who finally did what he said he was going to do.

This is America's future blueprint and so easy to follow!

Polls don't close for another two hours. Are you using special Tea Party election methods that obtain outcomes before they exist? :D

And the Tea Party missed its calling and should have been named 'Pay for Your Own Shiat' party.

Irresponsibiliy leading to failure is dead, at least in WI.

Just like being responsible and honest for your own sexuality when entering into a marriage contract. ;)

Scott Walker: The Divide and Conquer Governor‏.
 

One hour 15 minutes until polls close in Wisconsin
 

Here's what the spending has been in this recall election. Walker and independent Republican PACs have outspent Dems by 45.6 million to 17.9 million

This is great preparation for libtards come November. Cry it out, turds.

I guess the Dems showed Walker not to mess with unions for public employees. :D

The drone attacks will escalate now. The White House will find "enemy combatants" under every rock in Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

and it wasn't even close - what a waste of money.

I love it, a big blow for the unions.
Funny how as soon as the membership had the freedom to decide whether or not to send in their union dues, 50-60 percent kept the money and dropped the union. no surprise when you see compensation for the union leadership, and how they go around blowing millions of dollars on one political campaign after another.

What's funny is how Barrett dissed Hillary to endorse Obama and as per usual Obama screws someone who supported him.... Not a mention from Big O in support throughout this whole mess....hahaha...lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas

People are still standing in line and voting in Milwaukee as of 10:30 eastern.

The sad thing is that Kleefisch will be governor.

:zz: Barrett wasn't the union candidate.

But it's a huge win for Citizen's United! 45.6 million to 17.9 million :tro: Walker got over 3/4 of his money from out-of-state big money corporate donors. It's a huge win for corporate ownership of government.

At this rate, we won't have to stand three hours in line to vote in November.

......and now on to Nov to get rid of the Big Turd :tro:

Good luck with that one ... in the Wisconsin exit polls today, Obama beat Romney by 5 points. Romney needs too many electoral votes to be able to win.

Of course, those exit polls also said Walker-Barrett were tied at 50:50.

I'm surprised that Wiphan hasn't posted yet. Then again, after so many months of being told that he is wrong, he is probably out celebrating.

The writing is on the wall for public-sector unions in Wisconsin. It has been reported that Wisconsin membership in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees fell to 28,745 in February 2012 from 62,818 in March 2011,

People will lie and say they are voting for Obama because they know this administration is similar to a KGB operated one.

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the exit poll was done by black panther party members.

He's a lame duck. Whites are still the majority and most whites are sick of the man-child. He'd be better off attempting to play golf or basketball. That's about his pay grade.

I don't think it's a racial thing at all. 61% of Obama's support on Election Night 2008 was from whites. Without white voters, he'd never be close. But it's a stretch to say that a huge fraction of the supporters for him (who happen to be white) have defected.

It is more of an economic factor. The old line used against Carter in 1980 still applies: "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" If you don't receive government assistance, the answer is likely "no" and you'll vote accordingly.

what a waste of time, energy and money. all this hubbub, and the status quo remains the same.

Oh it's not a racial thing at all? Explain the Zimmerman case going viral. Explain why Obama's African-American critics magically support him come election time. Blacks who don't support Obama are ostracized by their own race. Explain why the south and West Virginia essentially supported thin air over Obama in primaries. Explain why Rubio is the favorite to get the VP nod other than the fact he's ethnic?

Obama's chances took a huge hit this past friday on the jobs numbers. You can't very well pound your chest in March and then blame the other guy 2 months later. He owns this labor market and it needs to improve no later then Sept or it will be too late.

:D

well, sure you can! nothing like politics to show you can have your cake and eat it too.

Actually I think the recall energized the republicans and I think it back fired on Democrats. Walker won by a bigger margin than 2010. Riot and other democrats now hope for felony charges against our govenor instead of trying to create jobs, lower taxes and improve the quality of the state. It is a fundamental difference in principals. They are hoping for failure when the GOP is in charge, while most republicans never hope for failure regardless of who is in charge and do not cheer for bad news. When unemployment numbers were bad the dems were cheering. When unemployment numbers and job creation was proved to be wrong and the numbers actually showed growth the dems didn't believe it and called Walker a liar and a crook. I don't think I could ever cheer for someone to lose their job. The people of the state haven spoken stop your crying and let's get back to business.

One of the Senate seats flipped, so it isn't exactly the status quo.

I'm glad of the result. There's a strong chance Walker is going to get indicted on things he did as County executive, and a trial of a sitting governor is much more interesting than one of a private citizen.

i was referring to the governors recall. i know about the total amount of seats, and that republicans still have the majority-so, in total, nothing really changed.
and if there's a chance of indictment, they should have waited to force a recall after that. i can only imagine the amount of chaos that could occur if people start trying to have recalls every time a piece of legislation gets passed that some don't like.

By "business" of course, you mean Big Business. Because the "fundamental difference in principle" to which you refer is that Republicans believe Companies have more value than Individuals.

Republicans- they love America, but hate Americans.

It is amazing that people speculate on a person's guilt without knowing anything other than what they read in the liberal media. It is also interesting that they hope for this instead of hoping that the state can grow, create jobs and prosper. This recall should not have happened. Sore losers once again....

If Walker is indicted and is guilty than let that play out in court, but last I checked no charges have been brought and the investigation which Walker requested has been going on for over 2 years. Innocent until proven guilty or in this case innocent until charged

What a humiliating defeat for Democrats and Unions. All that big Union money, high turnout and it goes down in flames. :tro:

Somehow I suspect the liberals wont get it and the Unions will ramp up their criminal activity. Unfortunately for them the gravy train has come to a screeching halt.

Liberals are typically narcissists and slacktivists. They don't like losing and will always seek revenge at taxpayer's expense.

It's usually middle-aged white women that do yoga and wear yoga pants to costco and talk on their cell phones without any awareness of the people around them. They're the ones wanting to assassinate the characters of those that don't fall in line with their beliefs.

Companies are made up of large groups of people with a collective goal. Companies that aren't pro-America should be punished, guys like Immelt should not be rewarded with high level positions while decimating the American portion of their workforce.

Agreed?

:tro:

Let her and the false left-right paradigm be!! It's awesome in that web. The spider is a vegetarian.

i find that as absurd as when people say democrats hate their country. doesn't it bother you when people make ridiculous assertions about democrats? but then, if you do the same about republicans, how does that make you any different than the people you complain about?


personally, i think the sooner everyone realizes that they're all politicians first, party be damned, and that they only care about themselves, the better off the citizens would be. perhaps then people would start to become energized, more involved, and understand they are the ones who can make changes, not career pols who only look out for themselves and their financial supporters-not the voters.

isn't it amazing that a group will cry innocent til proven guilty, unless it's a party opponent? then they demand a lynching. absolutely ridiculous.

not every investigation finds criminality. not every arrest means the person is guilty. why would a persons political persuasion change that?

Are you fuking kidding me? Please take off your rose colored glasses. BOTH and I repeat BOTH parties not only hope for but try to inflict failure on the other party.

Are you saying the primary goal of our representative government is to get re-elected no matter the cost to the nation? :)
