Scott Walker (R), ‘a massive number that seemed to cement a historic recall election against him for later this year,’ the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports,” per Political Wire. Walker only got 1.1 million votes in 2010 to win the governorship.

Well, Scott old boy, if you play you gotta pay, looks like you played with the livelyhood of middle class workers in your state, so perhaps you will have to give up your cushey job as governor - who knows, you may even be one of the working middle class someday! Good riddance to bad rubbish- sure wish my state allowed a governor recall!
The big news in Maine is Scott Walker stole an airplane manufacturing company that was going to employ 600 at a former Air force base in Brunswick, ME. Our state was offering millions in loans, tax breaks, etc., the usual bribe to get companies to set up shop here, but Wisconsin practically doubled that.
You have to wonder, though, at what point does paying companies to come to your state become a losing game? I mean, 600 jobs is great, but if you can't pay your teachers a decent salary, and have to lay off cops to bring in the companies, at what point is the tax payer being exploited for the profit of a few? I mean, our governor is cutting medicare for 6,500 elderly and sick low income people this year, and he was going to pay a company millions to locate in our state.
How does one State competing with another to attract a company to stay or relocate help America? There are no new jobs created in the process but the taxpayers foot the bill for all the incentives being offered.
Many people signed the recall more then once, some have claimed that they sign over 80 times! Micky Mouse has the record now for the most signatures! Others claimed that they sign the recall with other peoples names! I hope that they call people to verify that they really did sign it. Time to send all people to jail for fake names and double signing! This is not a joke and the people that flawed the recall should get some real hard core jail time to think about what they did, and send a clear message that Wisconsin dose not play games when it come to a recall! Unions should drop members that flawed the system too! To bad that it is going to take a lot of time to go thru this and the extra cost to us because of all the fraud!
Old dog,
That happens in all petition drives and is why the organizers always strive to obtain 50% more signatures than is needed and in this case the got 100% more than needed.
In Ohio we got 1.3 million signatures to overturn SB-5 but only 950,000 were valid but that was still more than 3 times what was needed.
Rarely is any one, other than signature collectors, ever found and arrested for violating the voter laws.
DENNIS, HOW SAD THAT 1.3 MILLION GOT OVERTURNEDAND NO ONE SAT IN JAIL FOR THEIR CRIME! 1.3 MILLION DISHONEST PEOPLE LIVING IN YOUR STATE, NOW THAT IS A SHAME! Glade to know this when I'm visting family in Ohio! Family I can trust, but no one else in Ohio! Thanks for the help.
Can't you read - over 900,000 were valid signatures from registered voters.
More than 3 times the number needed !!!!!!!!!
SB-5 went down in flames last Nov. with nearly 2/3 of voters saying no to destroying collective bargaining
Yep I can read, 1.3million shameful people from Ohio and no one in jail for fraud. Thanks again for your help.
Oh boy Dennis, Columbus, Ohio, the lights are on but no one is at home - apparently Olddog26 can read but does not understand math!
Yes! Democracy in action. Go people of Wisconsin and take your state back!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
olddog Please tell me where you got your information? You make some big claims. I want to see where your information comes from. I could be wrong but I think your blowing smoke.
I think olddog is baiting dennis by implying that only criminals would dare disagree with governor kasich.
sick and pathetic; but deliberate,...or perhaps I give the old fool too much credit?
don't feed the trolls, folks. they love the attention.
this will ignite the fires across the nation and sweep the dems into office!
Kr-2875346 Good luck with that, Obama has put a lot of the fire out, along with a lot of jobs! Failed to fix the economy in 3 years as he promised, failed to cut the budget in half 4 years, failed to get all home owners help that were in trouble of foreclosure, and failed to united the country with his class warfare. Walkker and fire? Just a candle in the wind. Democrats that stand with Obama will be Gone with Obama! And Walker is your ace to get democrats in office? Keep dreaming, Your nightmare is coming in November! 1term to many Obama will unite a country, united to send him walking. Bush failed, but Obama is a bigger failure, time to stop giving second chances, vote him out!!!
Old dog,
“failed to cut the budget in half 4 years” That was NOT the promise. It was to cut the deficit in half by year/budget 4 – which will not be sent to the House till next month, so we shall see.
“failed to get all home owners help” On this issue he has tried but it also takes help from Congress and the banks.
New PPP National poll:
Obama leads Romney by five points, 49-44. Last month Romney led by two with 47-45.
Favorability for Obama is at 47/50 (-3) but Romney is at 35/53 (-18).
Dennis, So you don't remember the old Obama campaign ads? 2years the Democrats controlled Washington and now they blame us for the economy! As for the numbers, double them and then cut them in half is not getting the job done! But the liberal media will eat this up and call it another job created or saved!
A million plus people are revolting. Walker, eat your cake. Let's watch and see your AIG/Koch/ALEC bail you out of this mess. America is watching .. a million people vs. a million dollars.
"this will ignite the fires across the nation and sweep the dems into office!", uh, sure KR (note: sarcasm).
This from a good vantage point- looks like mealy-mouth Scott Walker may finally get what he deserves.
I have watched this guy, with the assistance of conservative local radio blowhards, sprint to get himself ahead of the "torch and pitchfork" crowd angry about a county pension scandal (to get himself positioned to run for county executive), and do the same thing with the tea party minority (to get himself elected governor). That he left Milwaukee County in shambles was ignored. He immediately started breaking things after becoming govenor- testiment to his arrogance.
I have no doubt that after becoming govenor-elect, he locked himself in the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and practiced saying "Senator Walker", and "Vice-President Walker".
Bottom line for us, KR, is we're going to rid ourselves of this parasite. You can have him, if you'd like.
[this will ignite the fires across the nation and sweep the dems into office!", uh, sure KR (note: sarcasm).]
Uhm, Scott...I think kr is on your side...
Way to go Wisconsin!! It is finally time to recall "Whacky Walker," and end his attacks on the Middle Class, the Working Poor, the elderly, and the disabled in the great state of Wisconsin. Progressive Power is fully behind the quick recall of "Whacky Walker." This GOP/TeaBegger "Clown Governor" to be sent a clear poltical, economic, and social message. ON WISCONSIN!!
Not only does the Tea Begger "Clown Governor" of Wisconsin need to go. The GOP "Sadistic Wisconsin Senators" need to go as well. Now Wisconsin? Do not forget about "Whacky Walker's" mentally challenged in bred cousin "Richie Rich Ryan." The GOP Clown in the GOP "House of Horrors" that presented his "Richie Rich Economic Plan." Now do not forget that the GOP "Hoodlum's On The Hill" already vote YES to destroy Social Security. That is fact! ON WISCONSIN!!
