Tonight is Wisconsin Eve. The whole nation is watching the freakin’ Cheese Heads to see which way they’ll go. Tomorrow is the recall election of Governor Scott Walker.
We all know the issues, we’ve all listened to the talking heads from both sides and most likely, we’ve all made up our minds. I know I have; it was over before it started. But what interests me is not only who SHOULD win, but who WILL win.
And I think I gotta give the edge to the Democrats.
The unions are going to be out in full force. They’re gonna have every member from Green to Bay out shaking voters from anywhere they can find ’em. Walker’s going away in the polls, but Barrett has the built in “feet on the street.”
I give it to the Unions by 3 points.
Sigh.
You know what they say about the squeaky wheel… the unions definitely can make a lot of noise. Unfortunately, in this case, we all may end up getting greased.

By definition, unions are organized. Further, their membership usually votes as they’re told – there is no dividing that group. Now, the only hope I think we have is that union membership in Wisconsin has fallen by 50% in the last year. As part of the law that restricted bargaining rights, it also restricted forced membership.
I’m just very afraid that we’re gonna see a repeat of Nevada. Reid was on the ropes and down in the polls only to come back and pull off the upset.
Gawd.
