How much time has Walker had in office and how has the political climate been with all the crying by the democrats? If you were a business owner would you bring jobs to WI based on the amount of political BS that has been going on in the state or would you wait until it all shakes out? Democrats complain about jobs losses, but they have done everything they can to create more job losses? Barrett saved Milwaukee $25 million by using the reforms that governor Walker gave him. Barrett also complained that Walker didn't go far enough with the collective bargaining by excluding the police and fire unions.

Barrett has already lost to Walker. The citizens have seen what Walker has done, and will judge accordingly. Enough citizens have chosen the chance to have a do-over on the last election, so that it is happening.

And more recalls, aside from the ones that already happened, are up for vote.

We'll know in 4 weeks. 1,316,000 people voted in the primary, 670,000 for Dems, 646,000 for Republicans. The GOP has to make up 24,000 votes to catch up to the Dems and tie. Turnout will matter.

ok, I get it now. Thanks for clarifying. Let's not let the actual facts get in the way the discussion.

What facts? Walker's 23,000 job loss is well-documented and has been discussed here before. As has his budget deficit and his manovers to cover it up. His performance is what it is. So is Barrett's. Neither is an unknown quantity. The voters will judge both on their records.

I hope the turnout is massive and historic, so the state gets a true representative vote on what the majority wants.

If this was based on Job performance there would be no point in an election at all because Walker would CRUSH BARRETT. Can you tell me one good thing that Tom Barrett has done for the City of Milwaukee since he has been mayor? Deep tunnel project, MPS, his claim he was going to take over MPS?, Property taxes?, Unemployment?, Teen pregnancy rates?, Infant mortality rates?, budget? Black Male unemployment? Employment in the city at all? Luring businesses to Milwaukee? Do you have anything?

You'd think Walker would run on that, then.

I would take a talking cheese head over Scott Walker, thanks. As the unions who supported Falk said today, 110% with Barrett, to get Walker out. I consider Walker a disaster, and Tom Barrett not. You are free to campaign against Barrett all you want. Go for it.

ok I get it. You have nothing. You dislike Walker and what he has done. There is no logic to voting for your candidate and you are just voting against Walker. You can't point out 1 single thing that your candidate has done positively for the City of Milwaukee in the entire time he has been Mayor, but yet you want him to lead the state. Glad you don't vote in WI or maybe you do because we don't require an ID to vote.....

Yes, I would absolutely "just" vote against Walker, be the winner of the primary Falk or Barrett. Sorta like people that would vote anybody against Obama? You know anybody like that? <vbg>

In my estimation, Walker has been a disaster for Wisconsin, and Barrett - and the new, non-GOP majority legislature - will undo much of what Walker has done that I do not like in the remainder of the term.

If they win. No, I do not vote in Wisconsin, but I have many relatives that do, and I certainly will support Barrett financially. Especially as Walker is owned by Texas oil money. Barrett needs the help.

IMO Walker is a corporate-owned dog on a leash, he's a disaster, and I want him out of the governorship, so badly that I fully support the other nearly one-million Wisconsinites that think the same, and legally completed the process to get Walker into this recall election. Democracy - it's a beautiful thing.
