'We're tied in Wisconsin.

A new poll out yesterday shows Democrat Tom Barrett tied 49-49 with right-wing Gov. Scott Walker.

Barrett has been closing the gap with Walker for weeks -- and now he's caught up.

The recall election is just five days away and we have all the momentum in Wisconsin. The most important thing we can do now is get voters to the polls -- and we need your help to do it.

Can you make calls to Wisconsin voters this weekend and help Get Out The Vote for Democrats?

Yes! I can make calls to voters this weekend!

Sorry, I can't make calls, but I'll contribute $5 to help Get Out The Vote.

Republicans are all-in. Walker's campaign has already blown $21 million trying to whitewash his anti-union, anti-middle class record in office. The RNC says they'll spend whatever it takes to win. And Super PACs are spending untold millions trying to tear Democrats down.

But we're all-in, too. DFA members knocked on 9,028 doors across the state yesterday. And, with your help, we're going to make 40,000 calls to voters this weekend.

Can you help make calls to Democratic voters this weekend?

Yes! I can make calls to voters this weekend!

Sorry, I can't make calls, but I'll contribute $5 to help Get Out The Vote.

We're going to win this thing. Remember, people power can beat big corporate money -- and it's the only thing that ever has.

Her research showed, from what I remember, a substantial break with non committed independents breaking 56 to 42 for Barrett (something like that anyway)

After the debate, good weather projected for Tuesday... ideal weather in fact, it looks really good for democrats.

if it will be necessary for Walker to win by a couple of points to withstand accusations of voter fraud. The guy totally evaded that question.

what really bothers me is a month or so ago, i was listening to walker and he was so confident he wouldnt loose. at the height of all the anger to him. that bothered me.
