Well hopefully everyone outside of Wisconsin won’t have to suffer as well. By 2016 they too may come to the same conclusion as Kansas that the Republican Policy Live Experiment has failed there as well.
Too bad that more time will have been wasted in the meantime.
We need smart sustainable policies that bring this country forward for everyone. Where innovation is encouraged. I do not want the company store politics the Kochs are doing whatever they can to ensure we live under. We have to come together and stop listening to the talking points and the detrimental rhetoric that is preventing us from running a country like adults who care about a functioning fair society. The inequity is causing the atmosphere we are living in that keeps the tension at the surface. It is only a matter of time before the discontent is on the streets. If not, then there should be. If we were doing what Hong Kong is doing, every police force would be shitting their kevlar underwear.
The poll was conducted among 801 registered voters and 585 likely voters between Sept. 25 and Sept. 28. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points for likely voters and plus or minus 3.5 percentage points among registered voters.
Did the pollster not try very hard to contact anyone? That is not very many people to render the headlines of the story or it is just sad commentary.
I think its a bit easier analysis than that. Basically, they are moving towards the Likely Voter models, with very little notion of what the make up of the fall electorate will look like. That creates two major problems…1) LV screens notoriously favor republicans and severely discount voter registeration drives. They look at a newly registered voter as someone who has never voted before, so probably won’t vote this time…ignoring the fact that they showed enough enthusiasm to actually get registered. 2) No polling firm seems to have any idea of what the electorate will actually look like, so they are all over the place with their models of it. Do they use 2012 electorate as a base?Or the 2010? or perhaps the 2006?
My read of the race is that its very close, with Walker has a very small lead, but certainly far from in the bag for him.
