Over 1 Million signatures obtained to recall WI Gov. Scott Walker

Yeah, I guess 900,000 or so of those signatures were phony, right?


Put a fork in Walker.

Just because you can get enough people to sign a recall petition with no proof of age, residency, etc doesn't mean that they will actually show up and vote, never mind the fact that more people voted for Walker than signed the recall petition. Good luck. I think this spells doom for the democrats when they lose. Nationally the democratic party didn't want this, but the unions fought for it and they had no choice. Should be fun....

I surmise by the thread starter this bum is a republican right??? This just seems like more partisan politics from Riot.

This guy is the first politician from either party to put the taxpayer's interest ahead of the patronage army known as the Public Sector workforce.

Riot can't handle the truth. At least not the truth about employment numbers in WI.

Walker will win by a larger margin the second time around.

Guaranteed!!!

Hopefully Barrett runs against him. This bill board is along I-94 heading into Milwaukee

awesome but how true. Milwaukee could even save millions more if only they'd get out of their teachers' healthcare plan with the union, like most of the rest of the State, who already did and are already saving millions.

Recall expert Joshua Spivak, a senior fellow at the Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform at Wagner College in New York, said that, including state Senate recalls from last year, no state in American history has held as many recall elections for state office as Wisconsin seems set to have in 2011 and 2012.

"Wisconsin is really, completely a total anomaly," Spivak said.

In the two other recall elections for governors in history, California Gov. Gray Davis was defeated in 2003 and North Dakota Gov. Lynn Frazier was defeated in 1921.

Spivak said the signatures for Walker are almost certain to hold up. To force a recall election against Walker and Kleefisch, 540,208 valid signatures are needed for each - a figure equivalent to 25% of all the votes cast in the November 2010 election that put Walker in office.

Democrats said they submitted almost as many signatures as the votes that Walker received - 1,128,900 votes, or 52.3% of the vote in 2010 - and about the same amount as his unsuccessful Democratic opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who got 1,004,300 votes, or 46.5%.

The 1 million signatures amount to about one-third of the 3.3 million registered voters in the state and one-quarter of the 4.4 million Wisconsin residents eligible to vote.

You are the one maintaining, with no proof, that the Federal Labor Bureau's and Census Bureau's job statistics in Wisconsin are false. Not me.

The bum is a Republican, yes. A man who campaigned saying one thing, then did another. The wholly-owned political puppet of the Koch Brothers, working only to try and pass the ALEC agenda. A sad man who, on the day a historic number of recall petitions were submitted against him, was in New York begging for more out-of-state money - half of Walker's financial support for his recall comes from out of town - from the former head of the disgraced AIG to support his recall fight.

People think the unions were behind the recall - they supported it, but not financially. Donations came from all across the country to support the recall. But they ARE stepping up financially in the election, of course.

You bring up the point of financial contributions: whose quid pro quo should Walker be beholden to? The Koch Brothers and AIG and ALEC, or the citizens of Wisconsin?

That kind of lying bull.s.h.i.t. gets you recalled. By twice the number of angry citizens needed to do so.
