Governor Walker, by 67%

@Steve -

Lovin it!

Lets have a contest to see what month Scott Walker gets arrested and tossed in jail !

Stafon ... I bet you Hari Trivedi gets more then Walker but Tommy still wins !

You just said that on another page - he won't listen to you, he doesn't listen to anyone judging by the way he keeps repeating the same to things.
Walker by 56.6% of the smart voters.

sorry - two things.

@JL-Well buddy maybe u can catch a ride in that dump truck cause we are the majority and we are tired of not being listened to!! Sorry to inform you we the tax payer now have a voice. So back of the line buddy.

@JL-Well lets see.......My property taxes went down for the verhy first time in what more than 8 years or more, the budget is balanced, we have a 153 million surplus, Wisconsin moved from 40th to 20th as a business friendly State, we finally joined the rest of the union with CCW and Castle Law. Thats just to name a few.
JL not sure if you have ever served or participated in the military, but when facing the enemy thats what a strong leader does to his enemy in order to acheieve his objective. Yes the evil, corrupt, violent union thuggery that took place over and year ago and still threatens our very existance

@Patriot ... Out of all the people on here you have to be the biggest idot in the world !

@Recall-See very typical leftist comments!!! You guys are the first to talk down, belittle throw mud ect when someone does not agree!!! Its okay RECALL you cant help it and I understand. Cause your a looser!!! A loooser!!! Hahahaha

@Patriot
You are a coward and an idot. Walker couldn't lead a scout troop thru a county park. The guys a sissy like you.

@Recall---Hahahahah love it. You are def my entertainment for the night. I'll have cocktails ready for ya after Walkers speech next Tuesday night. You have to promise to not be a total douche

If Walker wins 'Round Two -The Recall' election by a larger margin than he won in 'Round One -The Pre-Call' election, does that qualify as a mandate?

Outside Money, Billionaires, ALEC, Koch Brothers, Ayn Rand, Waukesha County, unfair, cheating, lies, disenfranchised voters, vulture capitalists, fix was in...

In other words - No.

Bob McLiberal......If you do a little research for yourself instead of getting all of your information from those knuckleheads at NPR you'll find that in the past ten years unions have dumped over 600 million dollars into democratic races in Wisconsin. The Koch brothers......12.6 million. You liberals are in such denial it's scary to think that you're even allowed to vote. And yes, when Walker wins in a landslide, and Barrett loses for his 3rd time, this will be a mandate!

Dave - new around these parts?

LOL Dave! Bob McBride isn't a liberal.

Ha - fell out of my chair laughing at that one!

Bob....sorry I am new here. Your comments sounded like something a liberal would say. I assumed....sorry!

Dave, they were meant to sound like something a liberal would say. Think of them as all the reasons that'll be cited for Walker's winning (should that happen) not only not being a mandate, but not being a legitimate win at all.

NP on the misidentification. I got a kick out of it.

53.81....after I see Mr. Hoffa's wager.

Hmmm... one of the felons hired by Walker did the exact same thing that Barrett's wife did, and yet I didn't see him arresting her - did you?

Also, your boy Barrett essentially admitted that he had no plan at all at how to address the budget - Barrett code for I'll significantly raise taxes but don't want to tell anyone that because I know it's a losing proposition.

Only in your sick world did Barrett win that debate. A debate draws out ideas and real solutions to problems. Walker was the only at the table offering any ideas or solutions to problems. Meanwhile, all Barrett did was attack, play class warfare, and try to convince us of boogeyman conspiracies. If that's what impresses liberals, then no wonder you guys keep on picking such crap candidates that never get anything positive done!

@Hoffa ... Walker may survive the recall but he will never survive Walkergate ! Your boy is toast ! " Here comes the " Judge " !

@ReCall! -

Are you saying that Walker is going to buy himself a Pontiac GTO Judge after winning the recall election?

I don't know, Walker is cooler than Warren Oates if you ask me :-)

Patrick Flynn - are you kidding? If Barrett somehow wins you think our state would be LESS divided? It would be twice as bad!! Having the majority of the states 2010 vote being taken away from them. Talk abut disenfranchisement! This state would NEVER heal from that!
And after a year and a half of the John Doe investigation, there isn't even a single allegation against Walker. All this is is a witch hunt. You guys have been snowed by all of Barretts lies. There is nothing that will come of the John Doe against Walker. You guys are pathetic and just grasping at straws.

@Dave - I just don't trust Walker. Pure and simple. But no matter who wins, somehow, someway we have to come together. I can't stand the political environment in Wisconsin any longer. Either way, who ever wins I pray they are extremely successful. But I see no reason to stay and raise my children in Wisconsin if we remain divided. I hate Walker's approach of conquer and divide, I hate what this has done to families, communities, friendships, businesses... it is not healthy for anyone. And FYI, My taxes actually went up 3.5% not down. Perhaps our local republican authorities failed to use Walker's tools? Regardless... whatever happens on June 5th, if Walker continues his civil war, we will move. As much as I like this state, there are much better places to raise a family. Maybe the republican state of Texas. Walker can achieve what he needs to do without dividing, he just chooses not to and that will have long term detrimental affects on the Wisconsin community.

@Flynn-Walker is not the divider!!! He was elected by the people of this State. Being a democrocy we should not even be having this conversation!!! Instead the union bosses were un-willing to negotiate and accept the economic downturn that is and was affecting everyone thruout the entire nation not just Wisconsin.
So had the unions been more coperative as a large majority were then there would not have been to BS that took place. The 14 Dems leaving the State bringing State Business to a screaching hault!! Collective bargaining is not a fundamental right period. It is a privealige that was granted to the public sector many years ago. But when the public sectors wages, benefits ect are reliant upon the tax base and the crisis that took place in this country forced many people onto unemployment, to loose their homes, job losses ect the tax base shrinks drastically!! Well please explain to me how its fair since the left seems to be all about fair, to go to the tax payer asking for more just so the public sector worker can continue the lifestyle that they have been leading? As if there was no economic crisis at all. So stop think about what your saying and be logical with your thinking!! Only makes sense to make some drastic changes to balance the crisis out for all. As we all were affected by the economy.

@Patrick Flynn -

Walker is NOT the divider, as Patriot has elaborated. It's funny how when the Democrats push legislation down our throats, like Doyle's midnight budget, Obamacare, etc, it's business as usual and no big deal. But the minute the Republicans push something the Democrats don't like, it's somehow using a divide and conquer strategy and creating a civil war.

REALLY???

If you honestly believe in that kind of double standard HYPOCRISY, then might I suggest Illinois or California, as you'll probably fit in better in those places than in Texas!

Do us all a favor and wake up already!

Wait, I just realized Tom Marhol guessed the same number. I change Walker to 51.9%

:) ...whaaaat?

Scott Walker and Jimmy Hoffa have a lot in common.

Bob McLiberal........LOL! I'm soooo sorry for starting that. I know as a common sense Conservative myself how much I would HATE if anybody ever, even for a second, thought I was a morally depraved liberal. Bob, again I apologize.

Doesn't bother me at all, Dave.

James, for the record I'm predicting a wellspring of disenchantment over the endless vitriol emanating from supporters of the two frontrunners, producing a last minute flash-mob style protest write-in campaign for Gladys Huber. Gladys pulls it out with 42.8% of the vote, collapses while celebrating her victory at the Glen Cafe and is rushed to the hospital where it's determined that she's not healthy enough to serve. Runner up, Hari Trivedi (who benefitted from an alternate flash-mob write-in protest effort) is declared the victor by default.

Excellent - that's 2 for Trivedi now that McLiberal's committed his prediction ;-)

@carol -

If only you realized! James Riddle Hoffa was an extremely conservative man. He didn't believe in pubic sector unions and would be greatly disappointed at what the unions have turned into.

You are right, WI people care deeply about workers rights, just not public sector union extortion rights!

@Craig -

Very nice - you're the first to give a prediction on the number of fraudulent votes being cast!

So, without the fraud, you have Walker with a win at 65%!

Thomas C. Kuhns and The Donny Show made the only picks for 53.1%...

I had 53.2% so I am waiting until the GAB posts the official counts.

Do the 'Bob Barker-The Price is Right' rules apply: The closest to the actual retail price, WITHOUT going over.

If so, it's Greg.

Is Monty 'Let's make a Deal' Hall available to make the final decision??

Per the GAB site: The G.A.B. will not publish official election results until counties certify the results and the deadline has passed for requesting recounts, likely June 23.

@Greg: I contacted the GAB and they told me by end of next week, so we'll see. Either way, we'll wait 'till we get the official word and will contact the winners.

Seeing as how the GAB is known for being a model of efficiency, you are probably correct. But we still have to factor in that they will also need vote totals from Racine Co., so mid September may be a better bet. :)

Still waiting. Mark should have a contest to predict when we will see the results of this contest.
Hang-in-there GAB, we got money on ya.

Mid September is starting to look possible. The GAB is a complete joke.

The latest promise, looks hopeful.
Judge Gerald C. Nichol, designee of the Chairperson of the Government Accountability Board, will certify canvass statements at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 27, 2012, at the Offices of the Government Accountability Board, located at 212 East Washington Avenue, 3rd Floor, Madison, Wisconsin.

The canvass statements that will be signed are the official results of the Recall Elections held on June 5, 2012 for the offices of Governor, Lt. Governor, and State Senator in District 23.

And 1 vote for Al Sharpton.

So, who is this Al Sharpton you write of? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
