PRETTY PLEASE? Scott Walker Pleads With Wisconsin to Love Him Just One More Time

[DonViejo]

He’s won two elections and a recall effort, but the governor is finding voters are getting tired of his brand of politics.

APPLETON, WI—Dressed in a red zip-up with a Bucky Badger emblem and his go-to cowboy boots, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker stood in a gutted, garage-like building in the Green Bay Packer heartland pleading for his political survival.

“Things could go heading backwards right away,” Walker said to a crowd of 40 people. “We got to get that message out. We have to get that out even if we are standing in line at the grocery store. In fact I want you to go out and vote 10 times for me. I’m asking you to vote once yourself and find nine more people.”

Walker’s appeals to the crowd came a day after former President Barack Obama rallied for his gubernatorial opponent, Tony Evers, in Milwaukee—an event Walker explained to the small, mostly older group of people in Appleton as simply another way the Democrats were “targeting” him.

“They’d love nothing then to beat us here,” Walker said, eliciting several loud “boos” from Make America Great Again hat wearers. But the rest of his stump speech seemed to fall on tired ears.

That fatigue is exactly what the governor’s team is worried about in the final week before the election. That is why they’ve embarked on a drastic strategy: try to get moderates to vote for Scott Walker. In gentler political times in this purple state, this wouldn’t, of course, seem out of the ordinary. But four years after winning his re-election with ease, Walker finds himself in a far different political position.

1. Wisconsin has slipped in so many categories. Throw in democrats are no

longer willing to sit out Elections. Walkers time is up

[riversedge]

2. I do believe Wisconsin is waking up. Gawd I hope so!

3. He's done nothing but destruction in the past four years.

He's trashed the education system, the roads are crumbling, he's trashed the environment, and he's sold the State to Koch Industries and Taiwan.

If Walker's Madison mafia cheat this election, the last protests will look like a joke. It will be torches and pitchforks. He is hated by the vast majority.

*I live in Appleton, and the fact that only 40 people showed up for Walker on a nice Fall day is a pleasant but mild surprise! Good riddance to that skeevy fucker.

“Things could go heading backwards right away,”

How much further back can they go? Isn't Wisconsin in the high 30's in economy and job creation when they were in the top 10 before that droopy eyed idiot took over?
