(36,063 posts)with Nicklaus and Waukesha Co. That's all been discussed elsewhere.
For now, you can believe that tomorrow night around 8 pm the folks in the Waukesha Co Clerks office aren't going to be able to shake a stick without hitting an election observer.
Whatever problems occur tomorrow in Waukesha are going to be witnessed by scores of eye witnesses.

(4,017 posts)I would like to put $100 down on Barrett to win more than $900 (depends on the ask).

(11,258 posts)98 units have a 94.8 bid and 98 units have a 94.6 bid. If I had an account, I would probably clear all of those bids. I think walker has a 60/40 advantage, so a good bet in my eyes. I don't know why walker has such a good chance of winning - such a criminal POS.

(4,017 posts)then 90% to win is about right.
The Intrade gap has to close some by Tuesday.

(6,323 posts)and I do hope I'm wrong but I'll bet there will be around 7000 extra votes in Waukesha after the final count has been done.

(27,985 posts)We're watching the polls. And just so everyone is clear, we've had practice.
We learned a ton at the recount and have had recalls with primaries to test run.
We've got it. Wisconsin Dems are smart. Even those of us in Waukesha County.

I think Barrett can win this because of the Independents and a high turn-out of the Dems!
PPP said that the repugs are charged about voting, and Independents are now favoring Barrtett. Strong turn out by the Dems will be the cherry on top.
Although I'm from Cali, I'm believing WI can take WI back.
Late Sunday night, Democratic polling firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) released a poll that showed Scott Walker leading Tom Barrett in Tuesday's recall election by three percentage points. htening," as the last poll they conducted showed a five point spread between Walker and Barrett. The results, as listed in their poll's toplines:
Tom Barrett ..................................................... 47%
Scott Walker ................................................... 50%
Undecided....................................................... 3%
As a side note, the PPP poll has Barrett winning independents by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin over Walker.

(1 post)We had 35,000 volunteers out this weekend contacting all our supporters. I heard Walker has mostly paid canvassers. Walkers supporters seem annoyed, our side seems motivated I have seen more walker signs in yards, but I also heard he paid to have them placed there.
I think we can do it, we just have to keep pushing 2 more days
