It’s Do or Die for Scott Walker in Wisconsin

[DonViejo]

David Freedlander

The controversial Republican governor is in a dangerously close re-election race—and even a too-narrow victory could give the GOP doubts about a presidential candidacy in 2016.

In less than three months, Scott Walker will either be a top-tier candidate for president of the United States, or he will be forgotten, consigned to a footnote of history.

Right now, it is impossible to predict which is more likely.

Polls showing the Wisconsin Republican governor tied with his Democratic opponent, Trek Bicycle executive Mary Burke, with less than 90 days to go before voters head to the polls, even though Burke has been outspent and remains little-known to many voters.

“I think there is some truth to the claim that these polls have oversampled Democrats,” said Brandon Scholz, a Republican consultant out of out Madison, WI. “But having said that, this is a close race. That is not a closely-held secret around here.”

1. Die, please.

2. Die Scotty Die (politically).

Lose. Lose miserable, lose big. Get convicted and be so craven as to take down bribers and voting manipulators at the national level. Become so toxic that ALEC based legislation is called into question in all states.

Explode high in the night sky like some republican/corporatist meteorite and draw everyone's attention to the dangers of what you stood for and who paid for you.

3. Close race = Republican win

Obama only voters and youth voters will be distracted by a shiny object on election day.

Gun loons will be at the polls with bells on. And sheets.

It's a race worth supporting. Polling has been very promising.
