Walker will stoll be governor and all this time, money, and effort that people used to try and get him out probably could have cured cancer. Why are people set on the fact that the governor controls their income? High, middle, low class... Who cares. If you want money go work for it. Death and taxes are inevitable. Want more money? Work harder. Want to be wealthy? Work even harder and educate yourself. Its no ones fault but your own what class you are in. If you are struggling financially it is also no ones fault but your own. You cant expect a governor to make up for your stupidity.

And speaking of "class", why does one think that how much money you make determines how much it cost you to live in this state? How fair is it to charge someone more taxes because they are more succesful?

We did not misss anything. This old fart should just retire anyway

Not running for governor (but still available to run for for the border when ordered to do so).

I am just glad Timmie ia not running.

I think Falk will be a really tough candidate to run against Walker. She will run as a centrist and uniter but will end up just like Obama. Plus she will have a union war chest behind her in the tens of millions. I think Walker will win but it won't be a cakewalk.

Maybe Walker vs. Walker?

wortnik said, "but they didn't. now we will see time wasted as the Dems bicker among themselves on a choice , while Scotty keeps spending his new found loot on misleading feel good back slapping ads. by the time any election gets here the energy will be dissipated."

Unfortunately, wortnik, that probably wouldn't work. The Republicans have already talked about running a phoney person in case there is only one Democrat that files. It would serve to delay the election by necessitating a primary election. Chances are, there will be more than one Democrat, so there would be a primary regardless and that timeline is set by the Constitution, not the Democrat party.

i thinks the Dems missed the gate here. They should have quietly picked one strong candidate and the day the Signatures where delivered, made the big announcement, grabbed the high road and took it all the way to the statehouse. but they didn't. now we will see time wasted as the Dems bicker among themselves on a choice , while Scotty keeps spending his new found loot on misleading feel good back slapping ads. by the time any election gets here the energy will be dissipated.
I think the Dems need to get someone who was not a Fab 14 figure and quit waiting for feingold or kohl to come riding in and save the day for them.

Nice dismissal of OBVIOUS facts by the Repubs on here, what would Scoott Walker have to do to lose your vote? I certainly for the sake and integrity of the Party that a Primary challenge happens.

Won't affect it at all.
Will be the same outcome.
Walker will win a recall.

I'm surprised at some of the commentors here. Falk and Mitchell are the "poster children" of the extremism displayed during the recall movement and of far left "unionism". In the event you haven't caught on, the unions pick the Dem candidates, not the citizens. Regardless, that's who the candidate(s) is, so you better get used to it.

The Pope will get married BEFORE Kathleen Falk defeats Scooter. Too bad there's no quality candidate to oust this excuse for a governor.

that would be typical liberal tactics.

My larger point is that I have a feeling that we may not see a recall election because we may be facing a Kleefisch administration, and may not need to count on a diluted, WEAK democratic field to remove this man, he may be forced to resign! We too shall see, but I think that the "bomb " that is dropped this time might be a big flaming bag of poop on Scott Walkers doorstep!

I heard an interesting point made today. Hear me out on this. So the E-mail that Scott Walker sent to Tim Russell-May 14, 2010. Walker sent an email to Russell at 8:46 a.m. telling him simply "we cannot afford another story like this one. No one can give them any reason to do another story. That means no laptops, no websites, no time away during the work day, etc."

What I cannot undersand about this e-mail is, WHY did he send this to Tim Russell? Mr Russell was NOT Mrs Winks supervisor at the time. So my question is why would Scott send this to Mr Russell in the first place? Why would he not use his county email address instead of his website address?(scottwalker.org) Anyone???

Maybe off topic a bit, but I'm still laughing. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/g...
A Tea party guy says "This isn't the first time Neumann's campaign rhetoric against the stimulus has contradicted his business dealings. Last year it was revealed that a private school he started in Phoenix as an alternative to public schools there received $174,007 in federal stimulus money.

Neumann said then that he wasn't aware of the award."

running away AGAIN. You wouldn't win anyway.

And, if you watch the video that "ImBack" mentions, you'll see a little grey haired lady to Falks right. This happens to be long time aide and guess what, Marty Beils sister. Get my drift?

"ImBack hit the nail on the head and although Cullen caught on quickly, many of you haven't. The union(s)has interviewed all the candidates who were thinking seriously about running and picked Falk. It's clear her running mate is Mahlon Mitchell, head of the pathetic Madison Fire Dept union. You know, the guys who were blowing their vuvuzelas and yelling during the national anthem when Sarah Palin was in Madison to speak.

Falk, Obey, and Barrett stand about as slim of a chance vs Walker as Gingrich and Romney do vs Obama.

Dems need an electable candidate. That is NOT Falk.

I do not know what it will take to get Walker out of office, money??? People need to know and realize, Walker is not for the middle income people. If he had been, he would not have started the cuts at them. Why not the 1%? Discrimation, I say. When are the republican voters going to realize, what they want to take away. Medicaid, medicare, social security?? I have worked hard for those and I should not go without. Tim Cullen ran to Illinois and where do you think Walker is getting his money from? Tim ran to stall Walker, does not anyone see that? Why does it take so much money to get him out of office? The lies should be enough. He tricked people into voting for him, then stabs them in the back. Time to wake up.

ty wavjmpr. One doesn't even have to drive. Browse the blogs of newspapers outside of janesville (there is a whole state out there folks) and things seem much less "certain" than they do here.

Drive north of dane county and you will be surprised by lack of support a candidate like falk would have.

Falk will win, hands down!!

For those who like the game of politics, it should be interesting all the way to election night (and probably beyond if the lawyers have anything to say about it). As far as dollars and campaigning, Walker seems way out in front. I still believe he might still hold a lead amongst regular voters. But the ABW (anybody but Walker) crowd has their masses in a frenzy. Did they peak too early?
