Various sources reporting Wisconsin exit poll results are pointing in a number of different conflicting directions. Drudge is saying that sources are reporting that the exits will show Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker holding a five-point lead over his Democratic challenger in the recall. However, CNN’s polls are showing a 50-50 split. Lending credence to the idea of an edge for the GOP is the Washington Post, which reports that the exits paint a picture of an electorate that is remarkably similar to that of 2010 with conservatives outnumbering liberals 3-2 though moderates are still the largest group. However, CBS News is saying the poll shows President Obama has a 51-45 percentage point lead over Mitt Romney among those voters, a result that ought to give some hope to Democrats.
However, the latter result may not offer much solace to the Wisconsin unions and Democrats who have sought to oust Walker. The left’s vendetta against Walker has alienated many moderate Democrats who rightly perceive the recall as a function of the anger of their party’s base and not good politics or policy. Though the recall may be seen as hurting the president’s re-election chances, it may be that Democrats who believe the entire exercise is inappropriate will be the main factor that will keep Walker in office.
Huh?
If they can vote for Scott Walker and turn around in November and vote Odrama Queen, they are very schizophrenic. n nThat is the only explanation.
If so, it means that people are generally fed up with MSNBC talking points which are nothing more than ideological platitudes. In fact, government workers generally are better off than private sector workers. Voters are tired of hearing people with no contrib benefits and pensions, with guaranteed 3-4% pay raises and more or less firm job security scream about how their 'problems' are the most important.
