7:10pm From Lisa Graves: Research indicates that it is possible to recall a governor in the state of Wisconsin. Article XII of the Constitution and Section 9.2 of the statutes allow a petition to go forward if a registered committee obtains enough signatures in a 60-day period.

How many are enough? The law requires 25% of the vote cast in the last gubernatorial election, or about a half million signatures. Specifically, at least 540,208 signatures, since 2,160,832 Wisconsin residents cast votes (Walker got 1,128,941 of the votes cast, and his opponent, Tom Barrett got 1,004,303) so it seems feasible numerically. But, it would require a big on the ground effort to gather that many signatures in a two-month period.
A facebook group has been formed to help push this idea forward: "540,000 To See Scott Walker out of WI," http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/RecallScottWalker

And, on Facebook, Russ Feingold "likes" this page.

1. Petition can't be filed until January, then the 60-day clock starts.

2. is there a similar group for Rick Scott yet?

there's got to be some serious buyer's remorse in Florida these days.

3. Guy was collecting emails today

to set up a group to keep this going. Signatures can't be gotten until October or November, but it's going to take organization.

The trick is going to be maintaining the focus to do this. I thought this guy had a great idea to get the names down and get 'em on an email list. He had thousands of names already.

I think Snotty Scotty is short-lived as governor.

I'm on one recall walker FB page already... there was another, but it disappeared.
