Turnout in WI was reported as 33%, just 13% more than the predicted 20%.

Anybody want to bet that there are Democrats here in Wisconsin who woke up this morning and heard the results and said, "Gee, I guess I should have went and voted".

Not all of that 13% greater than predicted turnout were just Democrats either. I thought that the turnout should have been at least 40% with the vast majority of that 20% more than predicted being Democrats.

This was a popular vote election, so even if someone lived in the most red, the most Republican city or county in the state of Wisconsin they should have turned out to vote. No excuses. Elections are won by those who bother to turn out and vote, by those who choose to participate in the system.

If we cannot do better than this then a recall election against Walker will be very tough unless Democrats can get a well known name to run against him.

But I am disappointed that the turnout here in Wisconsin was not much greater than what it was.
