I don't think this election is as close as it's being represented. As of mid last week Walker had expanded his lead over Barrett by 7 points, but what isn't being talked about is that since his reforms were enacted in March, with union membership and dues payment now being voluntary, the public sector unions have lost about 50% of their dues paying members. That being the case, isn't it unrealistic to suggest that those members who've dropped out would be willing to vote for a guy who would repeal those reforms and force them back into union servitude. There's probably a couple reasons those members opted out; 1-the extra money they have by not paying dues, depending on salary: $800 to $1,200 a year. cont'd below

cont'd 2-maybe they as individuals feel they're more qualified to negotiate contracts for themselves than the union is. 3-maybe some even realize the unions will lose political clout so therefore won't be able to advance a personal agenda. Whatever the reason, the point is, if 50% of the members have voluntarily left the union, they aren't going voluntarily vote for someone who will Force them back in.

Supposedly because he was trying to "break" the unions with his collective bargaining reforms. But the demonicRats haven't mentioned it since the recall campaign started.

So the Ovomit administration continues it's war on the states. To be expected. They've allowed voter intimidation in the last 2 elections, they're suing How many states over voter ID laws, suing How many states over state immigration laws? Why should this be any different? But, the Beauty of our Republic can be seen in the states' ability to sue, as individuals, or as a group, the federal gooberment to prevent the usurpation of Their Constitutional rights. That; in and of itself, speaks to the quality and genius of our founding fathers and Their design of our Constitution. The thing is, you can't go wrong when you follow the Constitution.

"Democratic Party recognizing the national implications of the election" has ended all funding for this recall. As a matter of fact, the national DNC was against this recall attempt from the get go. Additionally, this was about Walker's reforms, now it's about anything but those reforms. And since those reforms were put in place, specifically voluntary dues payment, the public sector unions directly affected have lost 50% of their membership. Why? Could it be that a lot of former members viewed mandatory union membership as a requirement to get a job akin to indentured servitude? Regardless of all the propaganda, Walker has a 7 point lead, and when push comes to shove people Do vote with their wallet.

All about fighting the obesity epidemic. Obesity epidemic? Says who? This whole "obesity epidemic" sounds like man made climate change, a ginned up hoax to justify more government intrusion into our personal lives and choices. What is the criteria for obesity? And just who decides what the criteria should be? Possibly people; like the global warming hoaxers at the Univ of East Anglia, who have a financial interest in promoting junk science so they can continue to receive millions a year in goberment grants. It's easy to redefine the criteria until it's so strict that anyone could be considered obese and then make the claim that there's an "epidemic"? Oooo, scary term. cont'd below

cont'd So now we have a concocted social problem that requires a government solution. And who's to our rescue? Moochelle "food desert" Obozo and Mayor "32oz Big Gulp" Doomberg. Oh save me Mayor from myself, and the evil minions of capitalism who wish to provide me with that to which I desire. A 32oz Coke with my Big Mac and a large fries. Since the City of New York doesn't have more pressing issues to deal with maybe the city council and the mayor should cut their hours and adjust their pay accordingly. Obviously too much time on their hands.

No evidence to support that statement Zelda. It's not about embracing obesity, it's about government intrusion into our kitchen and dining rooms, into our school cafeterias. It's about government telling parents how they should feed their kids, spending millions of tax dollars for so called healthy school lunches that wind up in the trash because students won't eat them, but leave school to eat at Mickey D's instead. It's about some bureaucrat taking a kids home made lunch away because it doesn't meet Moochelle's "healthy" food guidelines. cont'd below
