1. The right wing talking point is that WI voters don't approve of recalls.

I even hear very liberal people say it. The RepubliCONS started using that talking point long before the campaign ever started. And it sunk in.

Americans will fall for anything as long as there are expensive commercial about it.

We have faith based voting. We have faith that RepubliCONS wont cheat when it comes to counting votes. Though we know RepubliCONS will cheat, we just pretend that they are counting (or NOT counting) the votes fairly. We know corporations own the secret code in our voting machines and we know corporations will do anything, even murder, to get more money. But we pretend that, just in this instance, the corporate machines are counting accurately and fairly.

Give Americans a slick overpriced commercial that explains away facts and they will fall for it every time.
