People seem to be starting to wake up…
At least in Wisconsin…
From DailyKos:
I always love these sorts of “do-over” polls, and PPP has a particularly good one:
We’ll have our full poll on the Wisconsin conflict out tomorrow but here’s the most interesting finding: if voters in the state could do it over today they’d support defeated Democratic nominee Tom Barrett over Scott Walker by a 52-45 margin.
Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee, of course lost to Walker, by a very similar spread, 52-47. Tom Jensen identifies two important shifts: First, respondents in union households (about a third of the sample) now prefer Barrett by a 64-33 margin, but when asked how they voted in 2008, only went to Barrett 54-40. You gotta wonder about that one-third of union household voters who still support Walker… but nonetheless, this is a big shift, and Walker is doing wonders when it comes to energizing our side.
Lost in the 21st Century 
The Democrats did such a mediocre job of selecting a candidate for governor, and campaigning that they deserve as much credit themselves! Given the choice, Walker won! That assumes there was a choice worth taking. Congratulations to the Democrats for not offering a better candidate. But it kind of figures, Doyle was angling for White House job and got shoved aside. The Democratic machine in Wisconsin is dysfunctional. Hiding senators in Illinois is their bold solution now.
