The Walker Landslide; Evidence That Polls Have Been Inaccurate All Year?

[BDBoop]

I think it's evidence that the Koch brothers got what they paid for.

How events unfold from here on out is going to be interesting, to say the least.

wow...another rightwingnut hack thread on the same subject.

and no merged threads yet.

Oh, that won't happen. Oddball started one last night, preferring not to post in the other 57 threads on the subject.

Walker survived the recall, but the Dems are now the majority party in the Senate. He is already sounding a conciliatory tone in acknowledgement of that. Plus, there are plenty of people that still regard Walker as a cancer on the political body in Wisconsin. As long as a large number of Wisconsin citizens feel that way, he is going to have problems in passing or implementing any of the Kochs policies.

what exactly are those horrible terrifying "Koch policies".....?

Oh, just look up "John Birch Society."

Wisconsin is going to boom economically......it's already started since Walker got elected.....

VERY bad news for BO.....

 

[BDBoop]

if your vote cannot be bought then how is money relevant....?

You can't be serious. The point of a campaign is to convince an electorate to vote for you.

The money spent isn't "here, voter, is X dollars to go to the booth and vote for me"

The money is spent on:
Advertising.
Campaign staffing.
Campaign events.
Etc.

Being able to vastly outspend your opponent gives you a huge advantage in ground game, getting your message out, and attacking who you are running against. All of this has an effect on the electorate and helps win elections.

so in your mind the more money you spend the more you can convince people.....no matter what garbage your message is.....minds and votes can be "bought"....

sounds just like the Dem campaign.......

how about that 1 BILLION that BO is supposedly raising.....guess you think he's gonna win....

No, because the Koch brothers can throw much, much more than the paltry $1b Obama has.

And they will.

Plus, there are the voting machine issues. Not to mention disenfranchising. But you just go on thinking "God's will be done", and keep your gloat on.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Last night CNN called it "too close to call" as Hannity was announcing the win.

Pitiful.

I hear Rachel Madcow is damn near a mental breakdown.

 

[BDBoop]

No, that's not what I am saying at all and you know it.

I'm saying that money is a key component in a campaign to influence an electorate to vote for you.

You trying to pretend otherwise is pathetic.

so what are you really saying.........?

Exactly what I have been saying all along:

I'm saying that money is a key component in a campaign to influence an electorate to vote for you.

The money is spent on:
Advertising.
Campaign staffing.
Campaign events.
Etc.

All of this plays a role in running a campaign, has effect on the electorate, and helps win elections.

Look, I get that you are just denying that money is irrelevant because Walker just won and outspent his opponent 7 to 1. In your mind you probably think that by admitting that money has an influence in an election that you would be diminishing Walker's victory. That's really not the case, though. Personally, I think that even if the money were equal Walker still would have won, however by a lesser margin. Walker still won fair and square but it takes some big time naivety to believe that having that kind of a money advantage didn't help him out.

7:1.

That's just crazy.

This is evidence the country is going to be back in countrol of the taxpayers, not the unions.

Obama snubbed Barrett...AND the Unions. Sending Clinton in is suspect because Clinton is already in trouble with Obama on many fronts.

eek you're scaring me.......haven't heard that "radical right" scare-mongering name in a long time.....

they are is so "radical".....

The John Birch Society is an American political advocacy group that supports anti-communism, limited government, a constitutional republic[1][2] and personal freedom.[3] It has been described as radical right-wing.

The society upholds an originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, which it identifies with fundamentalist Christian principles, seeks to limit governmental powers, and opposes wealth redistribution, and economic interventionism. It not only opposes the practices it terms collectivism, totalitarianism, and communism, but socialism and fascism as well, which it asserts is infiltrating US governmental administration.
