There's an emerging consensus in Wisconsin among a divergent group of interests: Democrats are going to get the signatures to place Gov. Scott Walker on the ballot next year.

The executive director of the state GOP told The Huffington Post he has "little doubt Democrats are going to be able to get the signatures."

Tea Party Express chair Amy Kremer warned supporters in a blast email Monday that the "recall is rolling."

"They are well on their way. I think we are were wishful that they would fall short, but it doesn't come as much of a surprise that they will likely get there without much of a problem," she wrote./div]

5. Front group

The Tea Party's 100% support of all Republicans proves they are just an astroturf front group for the Republican party. Otherwise, why are they "wishful" that Walker remains in office? It is because they are Republicans disguised as Tea Party activists.

6. They are all just saying that so that the petition drive would slacken and fail. nt

7. Before people get too excited...who do we have to run against him?

You can't beat somebody with nobody....

[undeterred]

9. Its been emphasized over and over that nobody should

come forward until and announce their candidacy until after we have completed this step, i.e., don't count our chickens until they are hatched. It wasn't a sure thing that we could climb this mountain, although now it looks like it will happen.

That said, 3 of the possible contenders are Dave Obey, who was in Congress for 42 years, State Senator Jon Erpenbach, and Kathleen Falk, who has been active in politics for years. And everyone would love to see former US Senator Feingold run, but so far he is saying no.

There will be somebody.

11. Scott Walker

I understand that someone is going to but they do not want to 
say because they don't want to take away the importance of
 getting these signatures yet.When they have the required
numbers of signatures and found out that not too many have
been destroyed, they will announce it.

8. Democrats might be able to take advantage of the recall but it isn't being done for Democrats

Democrats aren't "going to get the signatures". This is the people of Wisconsin against Walker and the Republican opposition to workers/voters rights. If there was a Labor Party, I'd rather they get the signatures.

10. That's the problem with Democracy. It's the people's will that counts. Not the Koch brothers'.

Stupid 'thugs.
