45. And if Obama had gone and Walker still won?

This is a state election. Yes there are such things. Maybe the people in that state really don't want to unseat their governor? Maybe they would not change their minds simply because the POTUS set foot in their state? Because the two things have nothing to do with each other?

Walker did 'divide and conquer' - he divided Obama from Wisconsin Democrats, and defeated the latter muriel_volestrangler Jun 2012 #35

How much did you donate to Barrett? ecstatic Jun 2012 #23

The answer to this can't be money because we can't compete with their money. EFerrari Jun 2012 #26

It would have helped if a) people didn't hate recalls and b) Barrett wasn't the guy who lost Arkana Jun 2012 #54

Maybe so but both of those ideas are framing. EFerrari Jun 2012 #63

Dems were outspent 8 to 1, xmas74 Jun 2012 #32

25% of Barret's money came from out of state support, like me... MrMickeysMom Jun 2012 #34

But that 25% was no where near what the xmas74 Jun 2012 #42

That, plus something else I read here today, sealed the fate of the recall MrMickeysMom Jun 2012 #64

And the Republican Party said they were going "all in". EFerrari Jun 2012 #52

Recalling Governors is very difficult. MineralMan Jun 2012 #53

I tend to agree. It IS difficult to recall governors, even if Walker didn't have CTyankee Jun 2012 #56
