Wisconsin is a barometer for the future of the Democratic Party.
In a traditionally progressive state such as Wisconsin, it would not bode well for the Democratic Party nationally if they were unable to show their strength in Wisconsin, in my opinion.

In effect, it would show a Democratic Party with little popular sentiment amongst the voters of this country.

However, if the recall goes well, it would show that a Democratic Party led by labor and progressives can add another dimension to the Party. It should be the template for winning elections across the nation.

Democrats would be wise to study the results in Wisconsin very closely. The path they choose could determine the future of our Party. Just my opinion.

1. Whatever the outcome...
...it will show that America is truly a conservative nation.

If the Democrats lose it will be because they are too liberal and America doesn't like their message.

If they win it will be because of the wise centrist policies and bipartisan approach of President Obama.

2. It would be unwise to misread the results.
I think.

5. It's only unwise to read the results.....
...when we're not sure if it's good or bad for our side.

6. Can you elaborate, vi5?
Whether it's good or bad for our side, we should read it wisely. Are you saying we will not know if it is good or bad?

3. But remember. some of these recalls are in very
repub districts. I think Luther Olsen has run unapposed for ages, and Alberta Darling in in repub Hell. It will be VERY significant if they lose.
