People generally do not go out and vote in record numbers to keep the Status Quo

[NNN0LHI]

Usually when you see record numbers of voters they are looking for change.

At least that has been my experience.

Sure glad WI had some nice weather today.

1. There was a big turnout for State Supreme Court in 2011.

2. I would agree with that.

It's tough to unseat an incumbent, unless they're wearing handcuffs or something of that nature.

I hope the Dems pull it off.


edit: punctuation.

3. Hopefully the ten to one spending advantage of the shitters won't make up the difference

[leftyohiolib]

4. or that the republicans feel this fight is as important to them as it is for us

perhaps the republicans know that turn out is going to be key.

5. no freaking way they are turning out for walker

I refuse to believe that people are that stupid.

It's all about the manufactured consent in the media, and Karl Rove at the central tabulator.

6. I thought that about GHW's second term but people really did come out for him too.

Never underestimate the power of stupid gullible people who have been swamped with propaganda....

13. exit polls showed the exact opposite of election results in 2004

I have been watching them steal elections for so long, that is how many of us know this is complete bullshit!

7. That's why something is wrong. Walker 15 points ahead with this turnout??? Something is fishy.

Even if he wins, it should not be by a large margin. I sure hope the reports are wrong.

8. Calm down. Still early results, mostly from rural areas.

Once results start coming in from larger precincts, then we'll get a better picture...

9. Nor do they get 2x the recall signatures, and then vote to keep the status quo.

I'm getting really nervous that this is getting stolen.

10. In this case - people were coming out in record numbers against the recall.

60% said recall is for illegal behavior, not because you don't like what the gov is doing.

11. When it's "tribal" voting, both sides "surge"

The sad thing, is that if enough people had showed up in '10, Walker might never have gotten elected in the first place.

12. People, well, Americans, are Fucking Stupid. nt
