JUst shows the wacky liberal lefties have awoken the sleeping giant. Tomorrow the silent majority will be out in force to carry Gov Walker to victory by +7 at least!!!

I hope you are correct.... I know I voted early. A high early vote in OC is a good sign of a high turnout for Walker.

Yes for sure!! We just need everyone to get out and vote!! Even those who may not normally vote except during the Presidental Race. I know I was able to get 4 new votes for Walker this election. One daughter who just turned 18, my older daughter and her boyfriend and my wife who tends to not get involved much. But she is fired up over this whole non sense recall against the Gov.
Making history baby!!

@Mike-Ditto that!! I just went to Medowview to cast my vote, cars lined the streets, parking lot jammed and people out the door!! Wisconsin is fired up. I can not recall seeing cars on the street ever before. Maybe during a presidental election. I pray Walker takes this by +7%

People are turning out to vote at OC East MS. The parking lot was packed. This is great. The poll workers need to pre-write numbers on ballots to pink forms to help speed up the process!
