No. It wouldn't.And yet the surveys of voters say their minds were made up back in March. So all that money was for nothing, including the union money on failed candidate Falk.
Walker was going to be retained the instant the petition passed.
If Falk has 30 million and Walker had just 3 million I think the election would have turn out differently.
But that's just me.
Why? Most Wisconsinites had their mind made up MONTHS before the Primary. The only questions were who was going to LOSE to the Incumbents. Everyone I knew turned off the political commercials before they got 5 seconds in regardless of party. They threw out all the mailers. They hung up on the robocalls.
That money did NOTHING to change the minds of Wisconsinites save for the totally ignorant.
What made up their mind?
How pissed off they were for the Madison Protests and the psychotics pushing the recall petitions in their face and acting like assholes if you didn't sign. We were/ARE fed up with lefties political bullying and want things back to normal.
So when the left pushes for a recall, it's political bullying. When the right pushes for a recall, like what happened in CA, it's political process.
I think the reason why the recall failed was because the Dems did not really have an established opponent against Walker before the recall process started.
Then, after it became clear the recall was going to happen, the Dems dusted off Barrett and he ran again. Bad move. I think you're right... the voters of WI had their minds made up during the first election between Walker and Barrett. Had they chosen someone different and maybe more charismatic (like an actor from Hollywood).........
