So lets look at this turnout – the Democrats cast a total of 670,278 votes. Hey, wait a minute. That isn’t even close to the number of petitions filed for the recall in the first place (around one million supposedly). What is up with that? Only a few things can be surmised. Massive peition fraud. People signed just to feel good, or get a family member or someone else out of their face. People didn’t understand what they were signing. Something else? I don’t get that at all. Hey, YOU are the ones that wanted this stupid recall and you aren’t even going to vote in the primary now to select the candidate to go against the dark lord Walker? Sheesh. What a scam. The republican turnout was impressive – 646,458 votes – almost MORE than the Dems and for the R’s, there wasn’t really anything to vote for. I am pleasantly surprised at this. By Barrett winning, it is absolutely clear now that this isn’t about collective bargaining for government unions anymore. It is a power grab by one party over another, plain and simple. Barrett has campaigned FAR away from the union issue and I can only assume will continue to do so. So prediction time, and a little crystal ball stuff. I think Walker will win. I also think that the Senate will flip from R to D. I believe there are four state senate races to be decided in the general recall election on June 5. It is going to be a LONG month up here with robocalls, ads, and all the rest. Message 28133360
