I find it rather interesting that I heard at least three right-wingers call into Ed Schultz's radio show today, saying the same thing as the Always-Blame-Obama brigade here: It's all his fault that Barrett lost, because he didn't come to Wisconsin. Forget that Barrett had less than 2 months to get a campaign together, while Walker, his corporate masters, and other surrogates have been at it for nearly a year, spending tens of millions of dollars bombarding the airwaves, mail boxes, print media, etc., with their lies. Or, that the new 28-residence voting rule likely disenfranchised thousands of college students. Or, that a significant chunk of the voters just didn't like the idea of a recall to deal with the issues. It's sad that so-called "progressives" are spouting a right-wing meme.
