[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 980371, member: 7966"] The one observation of this article that I would totally discount is the Pro-Obama [I]... last night’s electorate favored the president over Mitt Romney by a significant margin, 52 percent to 43 percent. It’s a smaller margin than 2008, where he won the state by 14 points, but it’s a solid performance, and a sign that — in reality — Wisconsin is less vulnerable than it looks. Indeed, as of last night, President Obama’s Wisconsin effort is in great shape, and conservatives should temper their view of their chances in the state ...[/I] Walker was being ousted yesterday by the same exit polls yet he retained office handily. Wisconsin may be in Obama's corner but not by 14 points. Another thing, I think people are trying to make this a "hate Unions" vote but that is wrong on 2 counts: 1) Walker only curtailed the powers of Government Employee Union powers. Even FDR did not like Government Employee Unions. 2) As barnyard said in an earlier post, "60% of voters said that recalls should be used only in the case of misconduct. 10% say recalls are never appropriate. Trying to discern anything other than the fact that Walker retained his job, is really a shot in the dark. I like the idea that the voters seemed to be feeding the pollsters a line of crap. [/QUOTE]
