(25,662 posts)1. WTF is going on in this country?
88% of the people turn out, I presume a goodly number of them WORK for a LIVING, and we are conceding that the other guy might win? If Walker wins and unions go down for the count, the working class of this country will have only itself to blame for selling itself out...I'm really getting tired of this.

(36,063 posts)2. Not every area in the state is going to turn out 80+%
Most people were expecting record high turnout of 60-65%.
Thank God we're talking about 80+% in Dane Co, a traditional stronghold of Dems, it's needed to overcome the high turnout of pro-Walker people.

(6,942 posts)3. I Hope You Grouped The Unions In to
...your comments.... for years the unions have given in to corporate demands as well and become a dues collecting organization, I know I worked where a union was suppose to REP the workers, they did more siding for the corporation than on us and allowed them to take away a 401K matching program when it was written in the contract in bold print.
Seldom anymore do you see Unions support other Unions by either joining them on the picket line or not crossing the line...
