I predict Walker survives the recall. Bake May 2012 #6

Think there's a chance Romney might pick him for a running mate if he does survive? TheMightyFavog May 2012 #15

the labor protests may not have been popular either hfojvt May 2012 #69

I predict it will be very close and that the D wins. RBInMaine May 2012 #97

Pathetic... whathehell May 2012 #29

I just remember the "comfortable shoes" ruse Plucketeer May 2012 #61

True. whathehell May 2012 #78

I don't know if I'd blame Obama but I'd certainly blame the DNC. Chan790 May 2012 #38

What would "overly pro-labor" look like? Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #11

Like maybe in Penn. where Dems have majority they don't vote to strip collective bargaining Bandit May 2012 #21

Thank you. whathehell May 2012 #30

I'll tell you what it would look like whathehell May 2012 #27

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but not everyone agrees with your assessment. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #44

No, and not everyone -- especially people who actually support unions -- agrees with you either whathehell May 2012 #48

Oh, so President Obama was elected to hype unions and build their membership? Really? Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #50

You don't understand that organized labor is a TRADITIONAL ALLY of the Democratic Party? whathehell May 2012 #54

Oh, and I certainly understand the ties between the Democratic Party and Unions. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #59

I'm taking it whathehell May 2012 #79

Is there a picket line? You see there's the faction of WI organizers who told the president.... Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #82

Um, there was more than a "picket line" whathehell May 2012 #85

Did I admit that I "didn't know anything about unions"? I said, I've never been a member. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #88

Did I say that I was a union member? whathehell May 2012 #90

One reason that Democrats aren't strong is the South is the lack of union members JDPriestly May 2012 #74

Thank you.....n/t whathehell May 2012 #92

...and a lack of an educated souls BlueDemKev May 2012 #104

Democrats support unions. JDPriestly May 2012 #73

Oh please stop regurgitating wsws talking points. Ugh. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #76

They blame the DNC? Who here sends money to the DNC? Have you seen the many posts..... Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #8

well it only took 7 posts for someone to preemptively blame Obama if the dem loses... dionysus May 2012 #10

That's exactly it. It's preemption. Some DU'er are setting the president up to take the fall.... Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #13

Good point, blaming Obama is weak and invalid, blame Koch money I suppose flamingdem May 2012 #14

first, people say he should stay out of it. now, if the dems lose it'll be his fault for not being dionysus May 2012 #25

Were you in on the planning meetings? Sounds the critics are prepared for any contingency. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #62

The president will take the fall, like it or not. JDPriestly May 2012 #28

President Obama and the DNC didn't recall Scott Walker. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #45

just wondering...were WI Dems wrong (in your opinion) for recalling Scott Walker? nashville_brook May 2012 #49

Not at all. They should have, and they did. What I'm objecting to is the preemptive blame game, Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #53

so, b/c the DNC doesn't have the $ the Koch's have, they shouldn't help? nashville_brook May 2012 #93

Please point out to me where I said, "they shouldn't help". Please? Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #94

And they haven't stood tall by the working people of Wisconsin, most of whom are JDPriestly May 2012 #71

The point is not to blame Obama but to recognize what effect on Obama's JDPriestly May 2012 #32

Spare me the armchair punditry. Obama's not to blame for the disastrous midterms. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #80

Why don't you just declare whathehell May 2012 #83

Because he isn't? Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #86

I wouldn't know it from your posts, LOL. whathehell May 2012 #91

And from your posts, I can certainly see where you're coming from. LOL. Tarheel_Dem May 2012 #95
