Just remember one thing tonight... This is a long-shot, a good one...
Edited on Tue Aug-09-11 09:35 PM by WCGreen
but a long shot just the same.

There could very well be a backlash against "those upstarts coming into my district to tell me my vote isn't worth it..." what I believe some people in these GOP disticts must be thinking.... Added on edit

Beside that, there is the plain and simple fact that it is very hard to beat an incumbent. Always has been and always will. Especially in a situation like this when you are asking people to go back on their vote of just a year or so ago.

Having said that, ON WISCONSIN!!!

2. Who said your "your vote isn't worth it." ? Explain who the "upstarts" are.

3. The people who voted these state senators in the first time...
There could very well be an anger backlash because they think outsiders are coming into their district to overturn their vote from the last election.

5. our side have to stop making excuses we lost in the Supreme Court election and said then
not to worry we have recall elections that we are going to take.We can't keep loosing races like this and expect to go into 2012 in good shape.And as far as the outside money from the rethugs well we got to get even and have progressive outside groups pour money into races we want to win.

6. this is a long shot, a good shot but it still is a long shot at best...
These are traditionally republican districts. There are only so many democratic votes you can get in these kind of districts.

7. Long shots require a precise evaluation and adjustment to the factors of wind and elevation.
But if you are a good shot...it will not seem like such a long shot.

8. that's why this is a delicate dance. You don't want to piss people off
but you want to target your voters and get them to the polls. That's the best way to win. Well, in this kind of race, the only way to win...
