What do you guys think the chances are that Walker will be defeated in November?

It seems to me that Mary Burke is not the sort of candidate that really excites voters and gets them out to the polls on election day. Does she really have a chance?

with as energized as WI progressive voters were, I frankly don't see a lot of hope that he's going to lose this fall. Too bad.

... not come close to Tom Barrett's numbers. Wish it weren't this way, but that's how it looks to me.

we might have a level playing field. But the voter ID bullshit 6 weeks before the election is criminal.

Par for the course as Walker and the Kochs are criminals.

I can only hope and pray. But unfortunately there a lot of dumb people in WI.

I hate to say it, but I think we are looking at nearly a decade of Walker and Republican complete control of the state. Maybe more. I hold out some hope that there will be a surprize on November 4 and huge numbers of people will decide he's had his chance and it's time for a change, but as others have said- there are a lot of stupid people in this state. Plus, I think Walker has all the advantages from now until the election- the debates, campaign cash, the willingness to break all rules in order to win...
