Wisconsin governor faces backlash Support for Gov. Scott Walker has eroded as his fight with public unions has dragged on. Reversal of election


Two months into his first term, a new poll shows Wisconsin voters are unhappy with GOP Gov. Scott Walker--and would send him packing if they were given a do-over of the 2010 election that sent him to the statehouse in Madison.

Amid the firestorm Walker touched off in going after the state's public-sector unions, voters indicated to Public Policy Polling (PDF) that Walker would lose a rematch with his Democratic opponent, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, if the election were held today. Fifty-two percent of respondents said that today they would vote for Barrett and 45 percent said they would vote for Walker. Walker's job approval/disapproval was also 46 to 52 percent in the poll. PPP is considered to be a Democratic-allied firm

Those numbers are a complete reversal of November's election. Back then, Walker received 52 percent and Barrett received 46 percent of the vote.

1. You have to wonder if he legitimately won the first time around

It's not like we don't know they steal elections.

2. Winning recipe: Koch brothers carpet bomb the state with millions of dollars worth of propaganda.

4. There's a 50 ft tidal wave coming up over his left shoulder while Walker is looking into the camera.

The wave is about to overtake him while he calmly says in a voice reminiscent of Mussolini, "this is my budget, and if you don't like it, you can shove it" and then crosses his arms, juts his lower jaw out, and nods to himself.

5. That is one singularly stupid bastard. To do this shit AND take that prank call

is all too fucking much. Where did that shit-ass come from anyway?

6. Someone needs to get on the ball

and research how California and Darrell Issa (boo! hiss!) did the "recall" on Fray Davis. It's really the only way to get his sorry teabagging ass out of the statehouse.
