May 31, 2012 (MADISON, Wis.) -- The challenger to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will get a high-profile campaign visit from former President Bill Clinton on Friday, part of a last-ditch effort by Democrats to prevent the GOP incumbent from becoming the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall vote.

Though President Barack Obama hasn't gotten publicly involved in the campaign, Clinton is the third prominent Democrat in recent days to appear in the state on behalf of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Tuesday's election marks just the third time any governor in the country has faced a recall vote, and the incumbent was ousted in the other two.

Clinton's visit is a nod to the importance of turnout for Democrats in Milwaukee, a stronghold for the party where Barrett must do well in order to win. Clinton was to appear at a morning rally with Barrett to encourage voters to cast their ballots early. Friday is the deadline for in-person absentee voting.

Sounds like desperation to me.
 
Republican Scott Walker is the only governor in the country with a criminal defense fund.
 
Two of Scott Walker's aides have been indicted for felonies.

One of them has turned state's evidence.

Rut roh!
 
Actually I think the prosecutor in Milwaukee will decide the felony indictment.

I was talking about the recall vote. But apparently you are so afraid of that that you want to mix it up with lots of other things.

Afraid of what?

Walker is going to be indicted either way.

We laughed at your topic, so you try to derail your own thread.

knowing that obama has criminals working for him.

I heard this. We'll see if he can motivate the voters, he's real good at it. The election is Tuesday.. We'll see. :)
 
I guess Barrett needs all the help he can get. I'm sure he's hoping this last ditch effort by Clinton will save the day. It's one thing when people stump for candidates early on, but this reeks of desperation. We know the recent polls showing Walker has a healthy lead prompted this emergency visit from Slick Willy.
 
Funny trivia;

Ask 20 people who Barrett is and you will get :dunno:

Ask them who Walker is then they will suddenly remember who Barrett is.

THEN

Ask them what's Barrett's first name and you will get :dunno:
 
Bill Clinton knows how evil Walker is for the middle class.

And willy was evil for Veterans.

or did you forget?

Please explain how Willy was "evil for Veterans"... You might also contrast that with Bush...

The down size.

He put honorable men and women out, illegally, and you and the rest of the left, never gave a fuck.

Bush went to war after we were attached, billy got us killed in Somali.

counter w/o lies, if you can
