If voters in Wisconsin could repeat the 2010 gubernatorial election, the majority would support defeated Democratic nominee Tom Barrett over Republican Scott Walker, according to a report by Public Policy Polling.

Fifty-two percent of the 768 registered Wisconsin voters surveyed said they would vote for Barrett if they could do last fall’s election for governor over again. Forty-five percent said they would vote for Walker and four percent were uncertain.

"The difference between how folks would vote now and how they voted in November can almost all be attributed to shifts within union households," Tom Jensen of PPP explained. "Voters who are not part of union households have barely shifted at all - they report having voted for Walker by 7 points last fall and they still say they would vote for Walker by a 4 point margin."

"But in households where there is a union member voters now say they'd go for Barrett by a 31 point margin, up quite a bit from the 14 point advantage they report having given him in November." A major contribution to Walker's victory, according to Jensen, was the amount of Democratic voters who did not vote in November. But with the media spotlight enlivening Wisconsin's political landscape, Gov. Walker is unlikely to face apathetic voters again.

1. Do people really forget how shitty the GOP is only on election days?

Certainly some kind of voting/election fraud on the GOP-manufactured voting equipment is an impossibility, based on the GOP's sterling ethics and their steadfast adherence to the laws of this land.

2. Unfortunately, it's death by drowning or by fire these days

When you're on fire, drowning seems better, and vice-versa.

4. no kidding

That stunt of replacing MKE's courthouse security guards with Wackenhut's privatized goon squad is Walker's brand in a nutshell.

I wouldn't buy a used car from Scott Walker much less the state of Wisconsin's economic future.
