Journal Sentinal (which endorses Walker) rates Walkers job claims as MOSTLY FALSE




We’ve rated Mostly False Walker’s claim in the ad that 33,200 jobs have been added during his watch when you add the new 2011 figure to monthly numbers for 2012. While both sets of numbers are the most up to date, they are gathered differently and cannot be added in this manner, and they were presented without critical facts.

I got the sense that it wasn't so much an endorsement for Wanker as it was an anti-endorsement for the recall as a whole. Akin to saying bend over and take it for another 2 1/2 years, then if your not satisfied with the path of destruction left in his wake you can throw him out in 2014.

That is a position that worries me, as I think there are a sizable number of Dems and Indies that are against Walker, yet share that feeling and aren't going to participate in the recall.
