Summer shocker for GOP in Wisconsin recall battle

By Brent Budowsky (about the author) Page 1 of 1 page(s)

The first nationally important election since November 2010 will be almost certainly occur this summer in multiple recall votes for Wisconsin state senators. The first petition with the required signatures will be filed imminently, probably today (Friday), for a recall vote to replace Republican state Sen. Dan Kapanke.

Multiple Democratic sources in Wisconsin tell me that all of the recall petitions are gathering significant support, ahead of schedule, and multiple petitions with the required signatures will filed in the coming days and weeks.

The signatures will first have to be formally verified. Of the eight Republican senators being targeted for recall by Democrats, if three of them are defeated in recall elections the Wisconsin Senate will shift from Republican to Democratic.

.......................

Get ready for a battle royale that will galvanize the attention of the nation as well as the voters of Wisconsin. Get ready for the first real referendum to reverse the move to the radical right, led by Wisconsin Republicans, followed by other extreme actions by GOP officials in other states that will give voters an opportunity to "throw the bums out" and repudiate the move to the extreme right.

2. Shocker? Only for the right wingers.
Anyone who has been paying attention understands that the people of Wisconsin are angry. And they simply are not going to stand for anymore of the rw crap. And this is spreading to other states as people are catching on that they have been played for fools. Nobody likes to be made a fool of.
