Razor-Thin Support Shows Walker John Doe-Vulnerable

Today's felony guilty plea by Kelly Rindfleisch, the Deputy Chief of Staff to Scott Walker during his County Executive tenure, has this context:

Already deeply-unpopular, and now with two of his appointed County officers having entered guilty to illegal conduct on the job, Walker literally has no margin for error bad news.

Look at these polling numbers:

The poll showed 51% of likely voters approving of Walker’s job performance and 46% disapproving.
A smaller number -- 48% -- said they would vote for the Republican governor today; a generic, unnamed Democratic opponent would get 47%. Five percent were unsure how they would vote.

Deeply unpopular?

You should give up on your comedy.

Why get excited when any opponent will be buried under and avalanche of Right Wing money?

They won't be buried under RW money by 2014. By that time Walker will be used up and thrown out like a dishrag, if he's not rotting in jail by then. The people with cash may not be bright or clear-minded, but they have the street smarts to stay clear of a loser.

And Oconomowoc Barbie isn't going to be getting the help if she's in office by then, either. The big-money folks will have about 40 other elections to worry about in November 2014 that are more important than the governorship of a state that will be hating GOPs.

In fact, Walker better pray Romney DOESN'T win.

Walker won his election in November 2010 with only 70% of registered voters voting. He won by only 4-5%, many of those votes independant voters unhappy with a poor economy.
Walker never had any kind of political mandate with that small a margin of victory.
There are plenty of people who have regretted casting a vote for him in 2010. After all, his real agenda that he tried ramming through the legislature had little to do with what he campaigned on leading up to the election.
Democrats have also learned from their mistake of having not shown up at the polls in 2010.
The recent rally for Obama with some 30,000 people is a good indication of just how energized Democrats are this time around.
Say goodbye to their so-called "Tea Party"!
