60% of WI voters thought the recall was not appropriate

...jus heard on NPR.

This explains a lot, Walker should've won by wider margin...

Also, Walker had 4 more months to campaign against the recall vs Barrets 2...

Again, walker should've been in the mid teens on this one

1. And that's what they got twice as many recall signatures than they needed.

Riiight.

2. The problem isn't the 60% of voters who thought that...

They split something like 90%-9% in favor of Walker. The problem was the Dem leaners who felt the same way, and stayed home because of it.

4. Good point, the 60% looks like they got a lot of independents to vote Walker

3. Whose ass did they pull that statistic from?

Kochie Roberts?

5. true...she says she got it from exit polls iirc

6. 1. that's just after-the-fact bullshit

2. RWers are whoring the hell out of this talking point because they don't want people to start remembering why Walker was unfit for office to begin with, and the $$$$ propping him up

3. It's already being discussed in like 10 other threads...

7. Not sure if people in WI share this attitude

But, one reaction I have seen with one circulating in my area is that people don't want to be associated with a group that has been perceived and successfully labeled as "trouble makers."

There is such a wide range of variables influencing this result that it is very difficult to estimate a single cause.
