and hell bent to destroy unions.

But I think the Dems are energized, too.

I hope hope hope Walker ends up being recalled. But with all that money backing him, it's hard to see that it ends up that way.

If we think big money cannot destroy our chances for a Democratic win in the fall, think again.

Every sourpuss on DU should be taking note. Every discouraging comment will bite us in the butt.

We cannot be anything but united against the repukes, everything else is an unaffordable luxury.

As it is people are holding back their $.

It's going to be rough going.

IMO, Walker is a dead pigeon even if he survives this election.

Possible indictments and all that.

Methinks he will be out of office, one way or another, by the end of this year.

I have a couple guesses as I try ti understand what seems inconceivable.

For one, I live in a liberal/progressive information bubble. So sometimes I forget we are outnumbered about 10 to 1 by Christian coalition freaks.

Also, I heard Barrett was outspent about 10 to 1. Could that even be true? I heard that on Al Sharpton's show.

If it is true, I don't think there are too many campaigns that could win in the face of that.

But it ain't over till it's over.
