The more polls get taken, the more votes there are to keep Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in office. And the more people there are in each poll, the wider the margin gets.

Looks like the massive out-of-state funding from Democrats, labor unions, etc., are coming to nought.

Ever since the agenda of the Democrats has been exposed to light following the 2008 elections, their star has waned. More and more people are turning against them, and voting Democrats out of office in record numbers.

It looks like the Wisconsin recall election, which Democrat had bragged would be a referendum on the policy of curtailing public-sector unions and reducing their almost-dictatorial power, will be exactly that. And the people of Wisconsin are speaking: They don't want the powerful unions to run wild as they did before Walker's election, and they much prefer the restrictions Walker has placed on them, making them pay a small fraction of the costs of their lavish health care and retirement benefits, and limiting some of their bargaining power for those benefits.

Democrats got a spectacular "thumpin" (to quote a recent President) in the 2010 mid-term elections. Now they are poised to receive a similar drubbing next Tuesday (see chart below). The Democrat national Committee has given up, and has withdrawn all funding from the Democrat recall effort in Wisconsin.

And then will come the 2012 Presidential election in November.

In the WeAskAmerica poll, every deomgraphic they asked, came out in favor of Gov. Walker except families that had public-sector union employees... and even those came out nearly even (47% - 50%).

Stick a fork in the Democrats.

Democrats and liberals just need to acknowledge that the pendulum is swinging towards conservatism this cycle. That's just the way it works in politics. In this case, you can blame Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, the Congressional Black Caucus, MSNBC, MoveOn, Planned Parenthood, George Soros, CNN, NAACP, etc.

America is a conservative country. Everytime liberals get their hands on the reigns, they remind America why conservatism is the stronger and more logical ideal. Blame yourselves, Dems. Your ideology is antithetical to traditional American values.

I hope these polls are correct and not something done by the Dems to make the GOP and anti-public union crowd to relax and maybe even keep some of them home Tuesday since they are so far ahead in polls. I think that Republicans are putting too much trust in those polls and may get their butts kicked for thinking like that.

America is about ideas, conservatism and liberalism are ideas about how to run government. Both are equally American.

November's a little late for Barrett.
No wonder you are going to lose this one. You have the date of the dance, all confused.
