Will Scott Walker, Gov of Wisconsin be recalled?

Do you think Scott Walker will be recalled. Republicans are claiming that the polls there show support for him, however, it is believed that those polls were generated by some conservative source and is not credible. I think he is as good as gone.

I don't know if he will or not. I do find the whole thing interesting to watch. Thanks for the article.

I think the recall will fail.

yes.

the democrats will convince/have convinced voters in wisconsin that collective bargaining is a RIGHT when in fact it's a privilege.

Walker says he's making progress in wisconsin's budget deficit. If the democrats manage to recall him...

My guess is the Koch Bros bought and paid for the polls to reflect whatever they want it to. The Bros run Walker and his governorship, and keep your eyes and ears peeled, cause there will be more bogusness coming when the recall gets into full swing. Bros will buy and pay for whatever, or whomever to try to thwart the recall, but it won't work, we all know how Walker and the Koch's are joined at the hip. The people have spoken, and i expect them to come out in droves at the ballot box. Bye bye Walker.

If the budget problem is fixed ,I believe the recall will fail. In my opinion, people would see the budget solution more than tactics involved to accomplish it.

Good point, but i don't see the budget being fixed, and whomever is going to run against him will be sure to point out the behind the scenes monetary running of this man by his good billionaire buddies. The budget isn't going to stop trying to bust unions, he will continue to do that, and those average working folks can be far more convincing than the Koch Bros money when they hit the streets. I still am on the side that this man will be ousted. When does this recall vote come up?

More accurately, it's just a contract, and there is no credible, logical reason for the government to make such a contract.

If a private company chooses to work with a union voluntarily, that's its own business... but all the arguments for unionization completely lose coherency when talking about public employees.
