(10,960 posts)But I do not dismiss all information that goes against my hopes and there is no evidence upon which to base a different conclusion.
There is information that can be spun into hope, like turnout reports. But I do not know of any reason to expect Walker not to win in the low to mid single digits.
The beauty of being a pessimist is that when I'm wrong it is usually a good thing. I would be absolutely thrilled if Walker loses. If I prayed I would pray for it.
(And I am quite sure that not one single Democratic voter in Wisconsin will read this post and decide based on it not to vote, so I have no reason to pretend to have a different prediction.)
To me, the last hope was a surprise in the morning exit polls, but the reactions of the TV people who know those numbers (but won't reveal them) make me confident that Walker had a good morning.
