the recalls have very much polarized the districts where they are occurring, both sides are motivated to turn out. And this sort of recall is unprecedented in Wisconsin, and for that matter the United States so there aren't any historical reference points.
The turnout in some districts is very high. We just gotta wait.
Compulsory voting should be impetus enough to raise a motivated and informed electorate out of everyone. Your way and the other side's argument that we're all "elitists" who get off on telling everyone what to do becomes quite valid.
We need to create a society where everyone benefits from being informed and motivated. Otherwise democracy is nothing more than a joke.
10. I'm wondering if the Debt Ceiling debacle, the S & P
downgrading and Wall Street's freefall yesterday will have an impact. Most polls show people are placing the blame more on the Republicans than the Democrats.
