1:58 PM: Walker: Spring election results show disparity between Madison, rest of state
Gov. Scott Walker said this afternoon that the spring election results show there are "two very different worlds in this state."

"You've got a world driven by Madison, and a world driven by everybody else out across the majority of the rest of the state of Wisconsin," Walker said at a press conference in the Capitol.

Walker said he didn't believe the election was a referendum on his policies, saying the results reinforce Wisconsin's status as a "purple" state. He attributed other victories by Dem-backed candidates outstate to local factors, while noting that conservative candidates such as Jim Ladwig in Racine also emerged victorious Tuesday. In particular, he said the results in the race for his former post as Milwaukee County executive reflected its status as a "dark blue county."

Walker added that Justice Prosser's performance in many parts of the state bodes well for GOP senators who may face recall elections later this year.

1. Whistling past the graveyard

If it makes you feel better, Scott :thumbsup:

[damntexdem]

17. It should make us feel better if he really believes it.

But then, he usually lies, so probably doesn't believe a word of it.

[Bill McBlueState]

2. yes, it's that old Republican idea

that square miles are what counts, not voters.

Same deal when they were so excited about all the red in 2008's state-by-state map.

[Zambero]

19. Got them GOP big ole red county blues

Cows and sheep outnumber the human folk out that way, but DAMN IT anyway, the resident critters don't get to vote!

[davidthegnome]

3. He will be filled with hubris until the very end

May his end be very bitter and painful - he has earned it.

[Roy Ellefson]

Whistling Past The Graveyard, Ma'am....

[yellowcanine]

5. Keep shucking and jiving while you still can, Scotty. Your reckoning is coming.

We may just have a chance to see how "purple" Wisconsin is yet.

[notadmblnd]

6. let see if he says it's not a referendum on his policies when the recall petition is filed against

him next year.

[SoCalNative]

7. Denial

it's not just a river in Egypt...

[EC]

8. can't read spread sheets Scotty?

Look at the results...many other areas in the west and north voted for her...

[L. Coyote]

21. He should be talking about Milwaukee

[lunatica]

9. Soon even the Koch brothers will kick his useless ass to the curb.

Because Liberals will love him.

[onehandle]

10. But it's a statewide result.

Walker is nuts.

[Ikonoklast]

11. Feeling a cold chill, Scotty?

You ain't seen nuttin' yet, pally.

[Bunny]

12. Suck it, Walker!

HA HA!

[louis-t]

13. "I shoulda taken away ther right teh vote while I coulda."

Dumbass Scott Walker

[Zambero]

14. Dane County (Madison) has 6% of WI's precincts

That's 248 out of 3630. So the notion that voter support contributing to Kloppenburg's victory was somehow "spotty" outside of Madison is a self-serving lie. Walker proclaims the existence of "two worlds" in the state of Wisconsin. I wonder if he also realizes that his own particular "world" has just gotten smaller? Congrats to Wisconsin and on to the recalls!!!

[L. Coyote]

22. Dane produced 12.3 percent of the vote

compared to only 10.2 last Fall.

Milwaukee is over 15% of the state vote.

[Zambero]

28. Anyway you slice it, Walker is toast

I'm not sure whether HE realizes it just yet, and he will save face to the extent possible with ridiculous analogies, but he's already set the stage for a huge bringdown of the GOP in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Mathematically, it would be a tough sell for Walker to spin the notion that a single county ("WI World A") with 12.3% of the votes cast somehow "defeated" the other 87.7% (Walker's preferred "WI World B"). His sense of denial seems to exclude the simple fact that he's the governor of ONE state whose combined vote determines the outcome of elections.

[City Lights]

15. Face it, Scut. You suck and now everyone knows it.

I can't wait until the good people of Wisconsin recall your ass and kick it to the curb.

[cascadiance]

16. Walker, you're sucking a bit too much on that Kochaine koolaid!

[malaise]

18. Kochaine koolaid! Kochroaches! I'm lovin' it

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah This needs its own thread :rofl:

[L. Coyote]

20. I'm surprised he didn't say, "This is why we need voter ID laws."

[fascisthunter]

23. damn... things didn't go as planned, huh you Fascist Punk?

well, the Koches are very upset at you for letting them down... tsk, tsk, tsk. Run to your masters, you puke!

[Ramulux]

24. Denial much?

[Kingofalldems]

25. When he runs for national office-he'll substitute 'Washington' for Madison

[Demeter]

26. Sour Grapes

[intheflow]

27. They may not count but they sure as hell vote.

Cry me a river, Scottie! :nopity:

[divine_truine]

29. WHAT A CREEP!

I'm from washington state & i'm loving this! The people of Wisconsin have really ignited a much needed fire under everyone's feet that it's time to wake up and OBSERVE the fact that we are surrounded by KOCH_WHORE bought-&-paid-for elected officials who have NOT our best interests in mind but their own selfish, greedy, coroporate-bootlilcking agenda.

RECALL all of these motherf#@kers! And don't let the door hit you where jeebus split ya!

[gateley]

30. I just want to slap him. "Snap out of it!" nt

[Agent William]

31. I thought this was going to be another 'Downfalll' spoof

I guess that will be tomorrow...

But I say, save the 'Downfall' parody until after a few GOPer state senators have been recalled..

[ElsewheresDaughter]

32. oh what will he say when all the Recalls start rolling in and the state Senate goes BLUE

[tanyev]

33. And he would have been singing the exact opposite if Prosser had come out 5 votes ahead.

"This is a mandate in favor of my policies!"

[RBInMaine]

34. Oh FUCK YOU WALKER ! 19 counties FLIPPED Dem, and your clone got POUNDED.
