    Let's see if they can get it done. All the odds and the establishment are against them but it will be an incredible victory for the people if it happens.

    I don't see how they'll have any problem getting ~500,000 signatures from Wisconsonites.

    Yep. And if they don't, i'm sure they'll be more than happy to make them up

    2 Republican congressman were recalled from office.


    That didn't tip the balance of power in the Wisc. congress.......but here, they are talking about the governor. If you replace a governor, that's a switch in the balance of power in a different way.

    Why? That legislation Walker stood firm on saved the state a lot of money. Are the proponents of recall so short-sighted that they'd rather have the state go bankrupt?

    Oh, I fully expect cries of fraud.....that's about the only defense that can be conjured to obfuscate the fact that 58% of Wisconsinites polled want Walker recalled from office.

    Getting the signatures is a formality, given that the majority of people seem to want to throw him out.

    I don't see any problem with that too... After all, how many union members are there in Wisconsin?

    Lets get real, if I was able to replace "my ultimate boss" and get someone who is more willing to bend to my ways and hopefully pay me more money, why wouldn't I? The only people who get the shaft are the Wisconsin tax payers.. After all, what could possible go wrong?


    So hows Detroit doing now a days? I heard property there is really cheap ;-P Take care, Liberals :) hahahahahahahah

    58% want him gone. There are over 5 million people in Wisconsin.

    They need 500K signatures.
