New Marquette Poll Puts Walker Up By Six Points Over Barrett
Now that the recall primary is behind us and messages from both sides are more targeted, Wisconsin voters are starting to get more decisive.
Gov. Scott Walker is up by six points against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, according to a new Marquette University Law School poll of likely voters.
The results of the poll were released Wednesday during a segment of the on-going "On the Issues" series with Mike Gousha and Professor Charles Franklin. Polling of 704 registered voters took place between May 9-12, and the poll results include responses from 600 likely voters in the pool with a 3.8 percent margin of error.
Only 3 percent of those surveyed said they are undecided.
The voting sample was split at about 52 percent women, 48 percent men and 89 percent white and about five percent each for African Americans and Hispanics.
Before the primary, registered voters had Barrett leading by a point and likely voters wanted Walker by a point.
"This is a six point lead and that is clearly an advantage with a little more than two weeks to go," Franklin said. "There is still some room to shift, and no one should close down the campaigns."
He thinks turnout could be higher than for the November 2010 presidential election. The polling seems to support his stance. Among Republicans, 91 percent say they will absolutely vote on June 5 while both Democrats and Independents come in at 83 percent for voting in the general election.
As for the Lt. Governor's race, Rebecca Kleefisch leads 47 to 41 percent over Democratic challenger Mahlon Mitchell. Franklin said he believes there might some coattail riding at work.
"Neither are really well-known to voters across the state so I suspect there are some coattails at work here," he said. "It will be interesting to see how recognition grows over the next two-and-a-half weeks."
Do Voters Like Walker and Barrett?
When it comes to favorability ratings, Walker rates at 50 percent to the positive compared to 45 percent for unfavorability. Barrett comes in at 37 percent favorable and 45 unfavorable. Again, Franklin attributes the numbers to perhaps Barrett being less known throughout the state, though he also acknowledged that was changing and maybe not for the better.
"This is not where a candidate would want to be," he noted. "Perhaps this is where advertising plays a role."
Gousha said one of the goals of the survey was to find out whether or not voters approve of the job the governor is doing so far. The answer seems to come down to if the ends justify the means. The new poll asked respondents whether they agreed with these statements:
- I like what he's done as Governor;
- I like what he's done but not how he's done it; or
- I don't like what he's done as Governor.
A full 37 percent fully approve while 38 percent don't like what the governor has done, but 22 percent say they like what he's done but not how he's done it.
Franklin says that 22 percent should send a signal to the campaigns that there's a group of people who might be persuadable.
"When you have a group as large of 22 percent who are ambivalent it raises the question of whether or not they're persuadable because they like the ends but not the means," he said.
The Issue of Collective Bargaining
Which brings us to collective bargaining. Gousha asked how voters feel about the changes Walker introduced through Act 10, the budget repair bill.
Franklin said pollsters asked the question as starkly as possible: Would you like to see collective bargaining returned to where it was last year or kept as it is now?
According the survey results, 50 percent want to keep it where it is and 43 percent want to restore collective bargaining to where it was.
Comparitively, in April, the question was about limiting collective bargaining or not. The split then was 49 percent favor limits to 45 percent favoring no limits. In January the question was also asked a little differently with the focus on limiting collective bargaining over benefits and non-wage issues. The results were 48 percent favored limits while 47 opposed such limits.
At the end of April, Democratic voters surveyed thought jobs were the most important issue facing the state while collective bargaining came in last place, behind "defeating Gov. Walker" and "healing the political divide."

If the number of yard signs on display indicate the winner, Walker will get 94 percent of the vote.

Are they going to charge Barrett's wife with campaign violations? I'm sure her husband knew about them. As Mayor he is party to the crime, just like he accuses Walker.

She was a paid public employee that used government resources for campaigning purposes. The same thing Scott Jensen, Chuck Chvala and others were convicted of.
And lets not forget that the libs are unsuccessfully trying to tie that same type of activity to Governor Walker because two of his people, Kelly Rindfleisch and Darlene Wink, also used government resources.
That is what's know as hypocrisy!

"Democratic voters surveyed thought jobs were the most important issue facing the state"
The numbers are in, Governor Walker wins.

People are realizing the State as a whole is far better off with Walker. He had a plan that worked and NO Democrat offers that.

According to Dept. of Workforce Development, since Walker took the oath, there have been 96,000 new jobs or 40% of the 250,000 promised by Walker. Walker has only served 35% of his 4 year term. So Walker is on pace to create 287,500 jobs.
Une,ployment statewide is almost 2% better than the national average, and nearly 5% of the City of Milwaukee.
Revenues are up statewide with no tax increases and the budget is projected to have a surplus.
Walker has been up in every poll sin the primary where Barett should have got a bump anywhere from 5 to 9%. Turn out the lights Unioncrats; the part is over!!!

The National Democratic party has pulled the plug on its financial support. They see the polling getting stronger for Walker and Weaker for Barrett . Walker's successes are growing with his support. :)

This is good news, and gives hope to the long suffering middle class and businesses of Wisconsin. The public employees have been LOOTING, not paying their fair share, and have been holding Communities hostage. After this victory - a push must be made to abolish public employee unions and create a right-to-work State. Public employees are FREE to go wherever they choose - so don't get mad, be glad. Go where you can really make what you are worth....

This describes Greece - but could also EASILY describe Wisconsin!
Essentially the past 30 years in Greek public policy were dominated by a silent, but well-known to everyone, pact between the government and the people. This agreement boils down to "find a way to throw money at me directly or indirectly and I will vote for you." The politicians corruptly built a system that implements this agreement, many people consciously participated in it, and many upstanding and productive people did not do much to stop them.
It came to the point where, even before the crisis hit, everybody knew and acknowledged the illness of the Greek politics and economy but even the large masses of honest and hard-working people had resigned from the hope that this could be changed. Greece had reached the tipping point many years ago, when the number of people directly gaining from the continuation of this catastrophic system was large enough to be able to elect the government.
This can be observed even today. In the heat of the crisis, an outsider might wonder why the Greek government and people procrastinate so much and cannot implement the changes needed to put the economy back on track (for example, stop spending more than we earn). The economic measures being taken are unfair, indeed because they hit everyone horizontally in unproductive taxes that only hurt the people who were paying their taxes honestly in the first place.

Richard, this certainly does not explain Spain, Ireland, and the many other European states that find themselves in crisis due to the ludicrous idea of austerity as a tool to combat a recession. (THAT, by the way, perfectly describes the policies Walker implemented here, and the resultant last-in-the-nation jobs performance). Spain was running budget surpluses before the financial sector meltdown. The austerity regime there and in at least seven other European nations has not only failed to lift the economy, it's driven those nations into a double-dip recession. The UK, which right wing idiots in the US hailed for it's "responsibility" in making huge budget cuts, has now officially re-entered recession with it's second quarter of GDP contraction. We have the opportunity in three weeks to staunch the damage done by Walker's euro-style, brain-dead austerity policies and turn the state around; or opt for three more years of below-average performance.
4:13 pm on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Richard: Great points.
The dopes who point to Spain and other Europe failures forget that the economic meltdown was too far gone before the austerity implementation could do any good. Those same dopes think we can borrow our way out of a depression, when in reality we are under water already. The dufus who thinks that topic applies to Wisconsin budget issues really has to get his head out of Earnie's backside, and start to point the finger at Obama.

@Bert-Then please explain the current crisis that our US Postal System faces? If I am not mistaking it is due to the lavish pensions they must pay along with the cadillac health care plans that are no longer sustainable? Gov Walker is cutting it off before it becomes so infected!!! Greece, Spain, California, Illinois it did not happen overnight. Wisconsin does not want to become another California

@Patriot... the problems that the USPS is having are easily explained.
At the end of the Congressional session of 2006 (Controlled by the TEAPublicans) a bill was passed that mandated that the USPS had to fund its retirement accounts for the next 75 years within the next 10 years.
Thus, each year the USPS was mandated to pay $5.5 BILLION into it's retirement fund. This is to cover benefits for people are yet to be born.
It this increduously STUPID mandate is removed, the USPS would be operating in the black.
Patriot, you and the other Wingnuts who post here are simply too stupid to understand the facts.
What a tool.

Walker will Lose . There is no doubt. Just like in Ohio and missouri where the vote on abortion and in ohio, the polls favored the union busting and the anti abortion, but when the people showed up to vote, it was a land slide loss for the union busting and no abortion laws. See Ya at the Polls !!!

Indeed, too bad for all Wisconsinites. Also, too bad for education. With more cuts, we can expect a whole new generation of morons who can't even spell simple words like 'ballot', let alone be expected to understand how economies work.
4:39 pm on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
I guess money directly correlates to increased test scores? Wait, that has been debunked with decades of increased spending and no correlating increase in test scores. As to your arguement on austerity please read up a little because you really don't have any idea what you are talking about.

As opposed to all the "smarter" people now that know how economies work? Last I checked even the "smartest guy in the room" seems to be having some difficulty with that one....

Steve: You just got tag teamed by Ernie and Bert for not using spell check. I doubt either of those two morons got past 6th grade, but Bertrude seems to stick anyone he can.
Bert: While you are looking for spelling errors, Steve is running a business. I am certain someone with your intellect would not understand what that entails. Making payroll, paying taxes to support your freeloading ass, and keeping day to day business issues at bay. We will try to use easier words for you to understand in the future, but forgive us if we make an error spelling- sometimes we are doing more than one thing at a time. As opposed to you doing nothing at all.

I agree. Too bad more people didn't spend more time reading the actual budget bill to see that public schools are being raided to send their kids out to the suburbs on our dime in the voucher program (yes - our kids' private school considered going voucher for the $3200 per city of Milwaukee child last year, but too many parents - laughably Walker supporters - said no, even though he proposed it). Oh, and there is the little caveat that voucher teachers do not need a degree like the rest of our teachers - they only need to pass the state license. But hey, when you have a college dropout who looks high half the time as a governor, there isn't that much lower you can go. People should target ongoing corporate greed more than public benefits, but the sheep are blind. Baaa.
4:11 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
I guess you don't read so well, Momof2. Your claims that "public schools are being raided to send their kids out to the suburbs on our dime in the voucher program" are false...
What's so important about having a degree? If one can pass the state license without having a degree, it seems that they meet the standard set by the state. Remember, Abe Lincoln didn't have a college degree, but he was licensed to practice law. I have personally worked with several non-degreed engineers that were every bit as competent (and in some cases, moreso) than the degreed engineers I have worked with.

7:30 pm on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
The recall signers owe 17 million in taxes. If these libs start paying there share the state will expand the amazing surplus these reforms have produced. Walker might very well become a national rock star. As when you have amazing results like this while CALF Jerry Brown and ILL Pat Quinn have raised taxes , lost revenue , and now propose more taxes to choke themselves to death on even further debt. The results are in. The Walker way is a true winner and the Liberal way is basically Suicide for any state.
You never hear Liberals mention the States completely off the rails and up to the eyeballs in debt are HEAVILY Democratic controlled. The failure merely follows the awful policies they endorse all the time. Game Over!
8:11 pm on Wednesday, May 16, 2012
If the democrats want to see services cut they only have to look as far as Cali. WoW, what a mess.
But since this recall is really about union power, services are really not at issue.

First off, the combing of the recalls by MediaTrakkkers is brownshirted intimidation.
Second, the state is owed $900 million in unpaid taxes, so the people who didn't sign own $883 million in unpaid taxes.
When are you going to start howling about that?

10:57 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
@ skinny dude, not that facts will matter but historic income tax rates for the last 100 years average about 60% for the Fed. Is it a coincidence that public workers have become a target in every down turn in the economy since we cut tax rates at the top, reduced the taxes for investors with a 15% rate on capitol gains, and let industrialists offshore jobs with no consequences? Why do you support policies that cut everything this society has built over 200 years? Are you afraid that you will be included in the top rates? I doubt most of us would make that category. But you do have the right to self mutilate.

Marquette Poll Results Changed Because They Changed Sample: More Conservatives, Fewer Liberals & Moderates http://j.mp/LVUK8D
......Have voters suddenly taken a sharp disliking to Tom Barrett? No.
The reason why the poll numbers have changed is because they significantly changed the sample of who they polled. In this poll there are more conservatives and fewer moderates and liberals:
Latest Poll: Conservatives 48% Moderates: 30% Liberals: 20%
Poll Two Weeks Ago: Conservatives 43% Moderates: 32% Liberals: 22%
Not suprisingly, when you poll more conservatives and fewer liberals, your going to have a very different result.
As discussed in previous posts, if we average the last three exit polls in Wisconsin (2006, 2008 and 2010), we find that the actual breakdown of the Wisconsin electorate is 22.7% liberal, 46.7% moderate, and 31% conservative.
9:41 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
Perhaps the breakdown of party identifications are just shifting toward the conservative and away from the moderate...
Jay Sykes
9:51 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
With the big turnout for Walker by conservatives, in an uncontested primary, the polling model may have been adjusted for 'likely voter'.

@mornimist-You're just unable to believe that the power has shifted and the conservative people of this Great State have had enough. Again you or any of Barretts supporters have been able to list ONE accomplishment Barrett has acheived in his 8 years in office. Other than Milwaukee unemployment at 10.1%, the largest amount of unemployed minoritys in any city, property values down again!! Oh but wait he was meeting with Talgo today to discuss trains. That is his answer to jobs. Not even a company from the US
3:53 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
Most people, the "Silent Majority," like to live in the middle, nestled in the embrace of logic, reason, and common sense. I do. I was jolted from complacency in a county budget hearing. I've always believed in electing "best and brightest" for government office. I didn't vote for Walker originally because a personal friend and colleague of his opponent convinced me otherwise (I was going to vote for Walker). I was soon glad I didn't, based on Walker's first expensive mistake in cancelling the Blue Shirt contract. It indicated that Walker didn't understand the concept of what a contract was, how a request for renegotiation could be tendered, the repercussions for cancelling or not meeting contractual obligations. Later, sitting in that hearing, listening to the sheer random nonsense that Walker had submitted as a budget (details of which I have shared elsewhere), I realized the extent of his lack of acumen and also his inability or unwillingness to learn. Add to that his lack of foresight in not promoting mass transit or working well with the state in terms of county/city funding, etc., and there was no way I could vote for him for the position of governor, finding him unqualified for the job.
I will welcome the return to balance, either through the successful recall of Scott Walker or partial control of legislature to stop the rubber-stamping of radical ideology.
5:30 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012

5:39 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
Morninmist- The Daily Kos poll found Walker ahead by 9 points. No one will argue that the Daily Kos is skewed conservative. Every poll has had Walker ahead 5 points or better.
Cancelling the Blue Shirt Contract made sense. I would be interested to find out why you thought it wasn't. In the long run, it was far cheaper to cancel a contract for a piece of crap piece of art that no one wanted, then it was to follow through with it. Same with the light rail money he cancelled. The funding did not include operations which were proven to far exceed revenues, and that promised little chance it could not survive without heavy state capital anuual outlay.
Electing the brightest doesn't mean a thing. Our best leaders were not the best and brightest, they were the ones with the most common sense. And Walker proved that, by creating jobs in the midst of a national recession, balancing the budget, lowering taxes all without putting it on the backs of the middle class.
We need leaders with a proven track record of success. Barrett has neither common sense, nor a proven track record of success. He is a political opportunist and that is all. He is the equivalent of the empty blue shirt.

There is no reason that anyone should believe the polls coming out of the Marquette Law School.
The polls are conducted by Charles Frankliln who used to do polls for the combination of UW and Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI). Now..., hold on to your seats friends, WPRI's main funder is (snare drums, pls) the Harry and Lynde Bradley Foundation. Shocker that.
Also WPRI has received funding from the Kohler Foundation.
This corrupt poll has been give air cover by Marquette University and the bogus "poll results" are being repeated in the corrupt nation media.

That poll is a bunch of hog wash. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've stopped answering my phone unless I know the caller. So when most of us don't answer our phones, the polling agency doesn't have the correct facts. Polls and statistics can be skewed and are skewed to meet the needs of those who want to make a report look and sound the way they want it to. The only way we're going to know for certain is on election day. Where's Marquette getting all the money to create these polls? My bet is on some of the nefarious funds raised by the Walker organization from out of state. Hmmmmm?

This is true. But this poll goes does back up 2 other recent ones that were done. The candidates do take these rather seriously meaning they do hold water.

Hmmmm... The "hide my head in the sand" approach. Maybe if I ignore ALL the polls, they will go away. And let's slam MU along the way. Hey Vicki, I too ignore calls ( thank goodness for caller ID), but if you had any knowledge of polling, you would know the pollsters just move on to the next call, and continue till they reach a significant sampling size. Your (and my) not answering the phone has NO affect on polling results. But keep on trying to justify why the polls are wrong (including the latest Dem poll that has Walker up by 5%).
1:12 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
@Vicki-Why is it so hard for you and your side to believe that the people of Wisconsin are for Gov Walker? Your side had its chance for the last previous 8 years with your boy Doyle and obviously failed. Thus the changing of the house in 2010!!
7:55 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
"Where's Marquette getting all the money to create these polls? My bet is on some of the nefarious funds raised by the Walker organization from out of state. Hmmmmm?"
Probably the same place they got the money to hire Russ Fiengold. Another dubious Walker plan.

Now Walker's Texan deer czar wants to tax deer hunters. Hunters will NOT be happy.
.....If Kroll gets his way, public land hunters will get the shaft. The deer herd no longer would be managed as a public resource, but as the private property of wealthy landowners. Wisconsin will become like Europe, where hunting is the privilege of the wealthy.
Kroll's view fit in nicely with those of DNR secretary Cathy Stepp, a Walker appointee who already has suggested that public lands be sold.
What this means for hunters is that the management of the state's deer herd could be sold or contracted to management corporations like Johnson Timber, who already owns Summit Lake Game Farm on the southern edge of the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation, and vast tracts of timber land. Joe Hunter would have to buy his hunting tag (and perhaps make a bid on it) from a private game management firm for his deer, grouse, turkey, wolf, berry picking permits, etc.—in a monetized way—in order to exact the highest commercial value. The Game Management Unit, which encompasses timber company and other private, county and state park lands, would profit. They would also have their own Game Managers police force issue your license. In this way, the State would reap the benefits by taxing the net Income after expenses and be out of the business of managing the fish, deer, and other resource gathering rights.....

@Mornimist-Well since your side really has nothing to stand on!! Since the jobs numbers that your side has been campaigning on have been shown to be false you have to come up with something!!! Its funny how the re-call was all about act 10, but after learning many communities have actually done very well since the passage of act 10 you had to come up with something new!! Bottom line your candidate has nothing to run on other than all the BS you progressives can dream up. To bad the people of this State really know the truth and will show up in force June 5th to keep Scott Walker moving Wisconsin forward

I thought you Libs hated those cruel nasty hunters. Why are you suddenly standing up for them now.
Oh yea, you think some of them might turn away and vote for Mayor Do-Nothing. good luck with that one.

8:38 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
Doyle doubled the taxes on hunters, were you posting hate about it then?
The rest is just the usually jibberish.
9:02 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
morninmist, thanks for the info! i will be posting that on the bulletin board at every bait shop i visit so that all my hunting buddies who think walker is for the hunters can see it!
9:08 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
@jt-well the true conservative which most are hunters already know the truth. So good luck with that one:)) You people are funny. Like I said went from Act 10, to jobs, to John Doe and now Hunters!! Gotta keep trying to come up with something. Hey I give your side credit for trying to be creative. To bad its wasted creativity
9:39 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
your assuming again patriot! lots of hunters are also union memebers. many of which are public employees who got the shaft from walker! omg! democrats wirh guns!
8:58 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
i just love how the conservatives on here just can't handle the truth that some of us don't like their governor. so they just keep pounding us with their rhetoric like they're beating chipmunks with a hammer at chuck e cheese. like that's going to make us suddenly change our opiniion of walker! only makes me dislike him more and motivates me to make sure i print and post their nonsense on bulletin everywhere i go . exspecially the really rude ones from patriot , craig, and steve!!
9:03 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
@jt-It has nothing to do with that buddy!! There have been many a dem politicians in office that those on the right did not agree. But we never pushed recall to such a level as this past election. But rather we allow democrocy to play out and wait until the next election!! That is really the issue here!! Because there were a select few who opposed Gov Walkers actions they had to turn this State upside down and have attacked, condemned, made threats to get their point across.
Again all we have said is let him serve his term. If after 4 years the people are not happy he will be voted out!! Period!!
9:05 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
@jt-I think you were the one who attacked me calling me names just because I do not follow your ideology!! You have given the message to the youth of this Country that if you do not agree run, whine, stomp your feet, file law suits, protest, threaten, destroy property, whine some more, stomp your feet some, post BS, whine and stomp your feet some!!!

9:10 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
Yup by golly. ooops my not so smart is coming out now. Buddy I had no issues with Clinton. Well maybe a few but I personally feel he did a much better job than the man we have now.
9:13 am on Friday, May 18, 2012
just keep pounding those chipmunks patriot! maybe you'll win enough tickets to keep your governor in office.
6:42 pm on Saturday, May 19, 2012
Corporate and upper income tax rates were higher under Clinton--that's why the economy was better. With more revenue, deficits get smaller.
8:16 pm on Saturday, May 19, 2012
@Bren-Really? There was way less spending under Clinton as well!!!! The lefts answer MORE TAXES!!
Adam Wienieski
9:19 am on Sunday, May 20, 2012
Spending is the highest it's been as a share of GDP in 60 years and revenue is the lowest it's been as a share of GDP in 60 years so we will have to do both in the infinite spirit of compromise and moderation. How much of each? Consider FY 2000 the last budget of the Clinton/Gingrich years. Taxes were 20 percent of GDP and spending was 18 percent. In 2010 outlays were 24 percent and receipts 15 percent.
Much of the spending increase every year is structural or non-discretionary, in other words entitlements like social security and medicare. If you increase revenue by eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy you gain 0.5 percent in revenue, if you eliminate the Bush tax cuts for the middle class add another 1.5 percent. That means 7 percent of GDP has to come from spending cuts and big ticket items like entitlements and national defense.
That's a lot of granny's to push off the cliff.

The statistics are from a statement by Leonard E. Burman, the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Professor of Public Affairs Maxwell School at Syracuse University to a House Ways and Means Committee. It's not about knee-jerk preferences for right or left wing solutions (and we hate that don't we?)
F.A. Hayek won a nobel prize for his work showing how the central bank intervenes in the economy to give rise to a boom-bust cycle. Most Americans know nothing about Hayek's theory (the Austrian theory of the business cycle) making it difficult for them to connect the dots between the easy money policies of government sponsored enterprises like Freddie and Fannie that created the housing bubble and the inevitable crash.
The song remains the same; the free market has failed (actually government intervention) therefore we need more government regulation, more spending and more debt. Rinse and repeat until economic collapse.

10:45 pm on Sunday, May 20, 2012
@Thursty, Red Ted has some real howlers in his pep talk for class warriors starting with his statement that the rich are not taxed because of our misperception they are job creators. In fact, the now near criminal top 5 percent of income earners pay 60 percent of the income taxes in this country. Lefties never seem to comprehend that nobody actually paid those pre-Reagan top rates of 70 to 94 percent due to tax shelters and deductions for often unproductive economic activity.
"We've had it backwards for the last 30 years rich people like me don't create jobs. Jobs are a consequence of an eco-systemic feedback loop between customers and businesses." Really, there was demand for the iPhone before it was invented? Without Steve Jobs somebody else would have invented it because the middle class had disposable income? So who created jobs 40 and 50 years ago; surely Ted doesn't think the extraordinary economic boom after WWII could last forever?
Adam Wienieski
7:03 am on Monday, May 21, 2012
Thursty, if you read the Bloomberg article you link you'll notice it talks about BLS "estimates" for job creation. That would be the "household survey" of 3 to 5 percent of employers. The hard data is reported after those businesses actually pay the state for Unemployment Insurance based on the number of employee's they have and that census shows Wisconsin at about 24th in the country for job creation the last 12 months.
Arrogance and ignorance are never an attractive combination. Stop tweeting and read a book.
2:27 am on Saturday, May 19, 2012
Yeah Patriot, you semm to be pounding sand most of the time.
2:34 am on Saturday, May 19, 2012
There is no reason that anyone should believe the polls coming out of the Marquette Law School.
The polls are conducted by Charles Frankliln who used to do polls for the combination of UW and Wisconsin Policy Research Institute (WPRI). Now..., hold on to your seats friends, WPRI's main funder is (snare drums, pls) the Harry and Lynde Bradley Foundation. Shocker that.
Also WPRI has received funding from the Kohler Foundation.
So, once again the TEAPublicans have subverted the election process. The flaming "Liberal" media in this state have once again forgotten how to do joournalism.
This corrupt poll has been give air cover by Marquette University and the bogus "poll results" are being repeated in the corrupt nation media.
Mission Accomplished.
4:32 am on Saturday, May 19, 2012
@MrsPeel-OMG!!! You have to constantly spin everything!!!! When Walker retains his seat can you and will you finally be able to say The people of Wisconsin have spoken!!
6:41 pm on Saturday, May 19, 2012
This is true. I am trying to look up more information about this poll. Was it a telephone survey? If so, was it by landline? What are the demographics of people who still use landlines? Interesting.
9:39 am on Sunday, May 20, 2012
So MrsP, do you also discount the left's own in-house poll, the Daily Kos, that hs Walker +9% ?
9:00 am on Saturday, May 19, 2012
So just read today's MJs Potilifactcheck calling Zielinski's (Wi Dem spokesman) tweets re: Walker supposed "helping pay for crim defens of man accused of "boy rape" as totally "PANTS on FIRE". Nice touch, Dems. Is anyone really surprised the Dem party would stoop so low as using blatant lies on purpose?
Shows how desperate and unethical the left is now that Walker is a shoo-in. Fully expect comments back about the right using "dirty tricks" too and don't disagree, but two wrongs dont make a right.
You libs must be so proud of your state spokesman. Pls stop pretending you own the high ground. Shame shame shame. Facts speak for themselves,
11:03 am on Sunday, May 20, 2012
MJS endorses Walker. More proof unions don't run the state!
" I hear that train a comming'. Comming' down the line". Woo! Woo! Get on board or get run over. Walker's % of victory will make Darling's look puny.

Mayor Milquetoast was on Upfront with Mike Gousha this morning. Without directly saying it, Barrett admitted that he used Gov. Scott Walkers reforms to balance his own budget.
Barrent will end up just like Falk, a 3 time loser for governor. You know it, I know it, and so does the Democratic National Committee, who refused to send money to Barrett effort.
7:37 am on Monday, May 21, 2012
Thurston-This is what your side is trying to do. Thank God for Gov Walker
7:47 am on Monday, May 21, 2012
Please click on the link in my previous post and watch the videos. The left and Im sure some on the right will spin it or call in consperacy theory crap but how can u deny the raw video footage of what some of our schools are becoming. This why the left is so scared!!!
This is America NEVER!!! Home schooling sounding better and better all the time.
8:47 am on Monday, May 21, 2012
Home schooling is sounding better and better. At least Thanks to Gov Walker maybe some of teachers will be held to stricter standards. She should be fired and never allowed to teach again. This is not China or Korea

Hey, would you buy a keyboard that had some of the keys intentionally removed? You might, if you're intensely serious about your video gaming. In the heat of battler, all those other keys just get in the way. At least, that's what we were hoping when we sold the Wolfking Warrior Game Pad this past weekend. It's the round gaming keyboard that gets rid of the extraneous keys to put the useful keys in easier reach. So this got us wondering about what other modifications manufacturers could make to attract that demographic. Your challenge this week: Show us another product reconfigured or redesigned to cater to obsessive video gamers.
Post your entry here by 11:59 AM CST on Monday, February 2, 2009. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave painting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it'll only be judged if it's visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are fond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 450px. If you need a place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws or www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post links to your source images.

Everyone's Talkin' About DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, Monday Evening (PT) Edition
Ever since we launched DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, we've been trying to find the perfect outlet to post each exclusive preview. What better match, then, is there for BATMAN AND ROBIN than WIRED's GEEKDAD? Head on over to their website to see an amazing 6-page sequence from issue #3, which is all about the tension between Bruce Wayne and his son, Damian.
USA TODAY previewed RESURRECTION MAN #3 and spoke with series writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. "His mortal soul is in jeopardy in a much greater way. The stakes are much higher than simply life or death," Abnett told them. "There are serious repercussions about heaven and hell and what these supernatural powers are interested in. That's really going to play out the next few issues where you've got forces both mortal and immortal fighting over him because he is so important."
LOS ANGELES TIMES' HERO COMPLEX spoke with the acclaimed creative team behind WONDER WOMAN, Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang. "We're striving for something that speaks to a certain timelessness but at the same time doesn't get bogged down with older notions of the Greek gods," Chiang said of the series. "We've done away with togas and sandals and stuff like that in order to make you look at them with new eyes. We want the characters to look and sound different, we want them to act different than you would expect … The fact that all of the Greek myths are really rooted in human behavior is great."
IGN spoke with NIGHTWING writer Kyle Higgins about the Gotham hero. "He grew up a sidekick, studying under the best, then left to spread his proverbial 'wings' but ultimately came back to take his mentor's place," Higgins said. "In a medium where change is hard to facilitate, Dick is a character that has grown and developed -- he's a character who is built on the very idea of change." While you're at IGN, be sure to check out their exclusive preview of SUICIDE SQUAD #3.
Curious what else is coming out this week? POPMATTERS previewed DEMON KNIGHTS #3, COMPLEX MAGAZINE previewed MISTER TERRIFIC #3 and DC Comics' official Facebook page has your first sneak peek at this week's GRIFTER #3.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee's Matt Hasselbeck knows only too well how quickly a starting job can be lost. He is the player the Titans tried to replace with Peyton Manning in March.
Hasselbeck also likes to compete.
Good thing, since the Titans kicked their quarterback battle into a new gear with their first on-field training activities last week. The Titans are letting Hasselbeck, who quarterbacked the Seattle Seahawks from 2001-10, and Jake Locker, the eighth pick overall in 2011 out of Washington, compete to be the starting quarterback this season. The veteran got the ball first in team drills last week, and Hasselbeck said he's approaching this year as he does every year.
"The advice I give to guys over the years is you're not really competing with the guys at your position," Hasselbeck said last week. "It's probably a faulty view of things. At this level, you're competing with everyone in the world they could find to replace you with whether they're here yet or not, and you know I almost learned that lesson the hard way this offseason. That's just reality."
Coach Mike Munchak said that Hasselbeck and Locker will split snaps 50-50 while both will work with as many players as possible, and the Titans are even splitting up the days when each quarterback speaks to reporters. Hasselbeck spoke Friday, and Locker is scheduled to talk Wednesday after the team's next open session.
And Munchak hopes to know which man he wants as his starter by the Titans' third exhibition game Aug. 23 against Arizona in Nashville.
It would be easy enough for Hasselbeck to take the attitude that this is his job after the season he had in 2011 for Tennessee. Signed just before the start of training camp because of the NFL lockout, Hasselbeck started all 16 games for the first time since 2007 when he was with Seattle. He threw for 3,571 yards with 18 touchdowns and 14 interceptions with a passer rating of 82.4. His yards passing ranked fourth-best in franchise history.
He did it after losing his top receiver in the third game when Kenny Britt tore his right ACL and MCL and with Chris Johnson turning in the worst season of his career after missing almost all of the exhibition season in a holdout for a new contract.
That's not how Hasselbeck acts. He remembers only too well being cut by the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and spending time on a practice squad.
"I really feel like my job is to just be the best quarterback I can be for this team and to be a great teammate and be coachable," Hasselbeck said.
Locker had his moments too as a rookie, which is why the Titans opened up the competition. Locker came off the bench Dec. 11 against New Orleans and threw for 282 yards, the most yards passing by a rookie for this franchise since Jacky Lee threw for 331 in 1960 against Boston for the then-Houston Oilers in the inaugural season of the AFL.
Locker threw for 542 yards coming off the bench in five games with four touchdowns, and the quarterback known for his ability to run around was sacked only five times while scrambling eight times for 56 yards and a TD.
Teammates are staying neutral, taking Johnson's tact when he praised both as great quarterbacks.
"I want to go out there and make it easier on them whatever quarterback it is," Johnson said. "I just know I've got to do my job."
Munchak said everything will be gauged before making a decision, including work in meeting rooms, on the field, adjustments at the line of scrimmage and likely play in an exhibition game where a quarterback can be truly tested under pressure.
"Either way, it's going to be a good situation for the team," Munchak said. "It's a good problem to have, but it's a tough one, too."

"Excellent Credit Cards, Bad Mortgage Side"
My thoughts on this company are very polarized. I have 3 credit cards, always pay them off at the end of the month. I only have three because Chase paid me back the annual fee, and some, to keep my United card. I got the Sapphire card to replace it. I have been on the phone with them, probably on average once every 4 or 6 months for one reason or another (not because they did anything wrong) and they have always been more than helpful. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the credit card side of things with Chase (but keep in mind, I am not carrying a balance. I am not sure how that would play into things).
Now, they just purchased my mortgage. This has been more of a problem. When they first purchased it, there were some payments I made to the old owner of the mortgage that ended up in limbo longer than I hoped. They kept giving me the same cookie cutter response.. wait 3 days, etc. At the end this fixed itself and I guess they were right. It would have been nice if they did a little research so I did not have to wait, but I can't fault them too much for that. What really bugged me though, was I ended up making an extra payment about a week after they purchased my mortgage. Instead of putting it all to principal, they considered it the following month's payment and took out interest from the payment as if I did not make the payment until the start of that following month.. almost 4 weeks later. Essentially they charged me a lot of interest on a loan that did not accrue much interest since the last payment because their computers treated it as if it were received the following month. I called them up and they had that changed 3 days later, but it really should never have happened. It sounds illegal to charge interest like this. I have considered complaining to the state Attorney General because I bet this is happening to other people who don't realize it.
So all in all, I am very happy with their credit card operations, not so happy with the mortgage side.

"Great Branch"
My wife and I were sold through a number of transactions to PNC. We tend to prefer local banks, which is what we had originally. The staff at this PNC branch has kept us a customer. They greet you by name, even though I am sure I am not a major depositor. We were so impressed with this branch, that we opened our business accounts there. We originally dealt with a different branch, at Tesson Ferry, and they were great too.

I did a refinance on May 3rd and was given a note. The note said my 1st payment was due on the 1st of June. I was given a loan number and told that I would hear from Sandy Spring Bank approx 7 days before the 1st pmt was due. Well I have not heard from them as of the 24th and when I called to find out why I gave them the loan number I was given. They could not find it and I was told it was incorrect. When I asked for the correct number I was told that it couldn't be given out over the phone. This was after I had given my social security number, address, mother's maiden name, and birthdate. I then said text or mail the number to me because I do not want to make a payment to an account number that is incorrect (especially the first payment). The response was..."I'll make a request for it to be mailed to you" This is a bank that I am trying to make a payment to and I'm getting red tape after being given a wrong account number at settlement. Today is the 24th of May (21 days after settlement and I have not heard one word from Sandy Spring Bank). It was the same thing in obtaining the loan. I would rush to fill out forms and they would sit on them for weeks and when I would hear from them it was "these must be returned within 48 hrs" I certainly would not give them a B for efficiency.

The teller was by herself and extremely slow. When I got to the front of the line I was told in a very rude manner to wait for a banker after waiting 40 minutes in line. I have come to this branch before to deposit money into an account and I was told by a female teller (once again) in a very rude manner that I could not be helped. This branch has rude workers, managers, and tellers. Personal banker by the name David did not help me, he was very rude and after talking to me he told me to get back in line to cash a check. PLEASE save yourself and never visit this branch. You will walk out regretting it. I will never step foot in this branch again.

"They closed a dormant account and confiscated $40 from it with no advance letter or notification even after the fact. "
I had not used this account for a few months and had a $40 balance in it and attempted to direct deposit some money into the account to learn that it was not accepted. I called the Marble Falls Texas office and was told that I needed to come in and sign a paper to reactivate the account. Only then at the front desk with a surly and borderline rude woman was I told that the account was closed, My money had been taken in fees and that I would have to make a new deposit to reopen the account. They had not sent me any notification of "inactive account", "dormant account", or "closed account" when they effectively stole my money. I thought that I had learned a long time ago not to deal with large interstate banks. A small county bank or credit union does not treat customers this way so I will never open another account with a big bank. They have all robbed the Amercan people blind and then seek their own reimbursement through the US Congress..

I was mailed a check drawn from this bank location for over $4,000 I'm in Kansas called this branch to verify the check they told me to bring it into them. I again told them I was in Kansas, was told again they won't help me. Guess Wells Fargo Bank really isn't concerned about bank fraud?

Alarms and Safety
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: August 30, 2010
Smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms are affordable products that can alert you in the event of an emergency. In fact, The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you install one smoke detector outside each bedroom and on all levels of your home.
These products can easily be installed on walls and ceilings, and are available in a wide variety of models, sizes, and prices. Some models detect only smoke and fire, while others detect the presence of carbon monoxide. Certain models even feature voice alarms that alert you if smoke or CO is detected.
There are other products available that can assist you with fire safety. Small, directional, plug-in lights, which turn on when it gets dark, can illuminate safe paths out of the home. Fire extinguishers and safety ladders are two other examples of potentially life-saving products.
Finally, it�s essential that your family develops and practices an escape plan in the event of fire. Also, test your alarms regularly, and change the batteries in them twice a year. A good reminder is to change the batteries when you set your clocks forward and backward every year.

A month-to-month solid waste and recyclable collection contract with Waste Industries will extend through January, as the Sampson County Board of Commissioners decide how to proceed with a multi-million dollar agreement that expired at the end of November.
The board recently directed county staff to present a more concrete list of services — and the associated cost — that would be offered via an extension with Waste Industries, which has been a point of ongoing discussions for nearly a year.
"There have been some suggestions that the board may want to entertain further discussion with regard to the extension of our solid waste collection contract, which covers collection and transportation of waste from our convenience sites," said assistant county manager Susan Holder. "Staff offers the board the chance to have further discussion or give us further direction if desired, or you may wish us to continue and proceed on as you previously authorized."
That previous authorization, officially given in April, was to send out a request for proposals (RFP), gauging what others might be willing to offer and if they could do so at a lesser cost. For the time being, commissioners said they wanted to work with Waste Industries toward maintaining a solid partnership.
Commissioners said Waste Industries representatives had called them individually and that there were some additional concessions and services they could extend to continue the service. The RFP should be pursued only if it is believed a "substantial" savings would present itself, Commissioner Albert Kirby said.
"There were some things that I saw that showed effort on the part of Waste Industries to continue on," said Kirby. "They've been a good corporate partner for the county, no doubt about that. However, if there is a substantial amount that could be recouped, that would be the only thing that would lead me to consider pursuing a request for proposals. If we're just talking about a minuscule amount, it wouldn't make sense to move away from a partner that has been as good to us as Waste Industries. Obviously, they offer a great deal to the county."
The contract has not been put out to bid in recent years, however the Board of Commissioners in early 2012 cited pressing economic times, a tight budget and the large annual cost of the service as reasons for directing staff to put out a request for proposals for the service. The county is not mandated to bid it out.
However, since that unanimous April vote, discussions with Waste Industries officials have been ongoing.
Waste Industries, even prior to that April vote, proposed a five-year extension to the county as part of a confidential, unsolicited proposal. The current rate of the contract hovers over $700,000 annually.
"We obviously think there's some benefit to not putting out to bid, because of what we're able to get financially from them," Holder said.
Finance officer David Clack said $711,000 was currently spent each year on solid waste collection, a per capita cost of $10.43. He pointed to Waste Industries' proposal, initially floated in February, to continue to operate the convenience sites within the county for an additional five years, saying it was less than the current contract.
There is also a history between Sampson County and Waste Industries.
A five-year contract with Waste Industries was entered into at the beginning of December 2004, running until the end of November 2009. At that time, the contract was extended for three years until Nov. 30, 2012.
In previous discussions, commissioners said there was no slight on Waste Industries, but rather a desire to weigh alternatives and possible cost cutting that would come with it. In a message to the county detailing the proposed five-year extension, Waste Industries general manager Travis Hitchcock noted the "integral part" the company plays in the community.
"From our convenience site attendants to our solid waste and recycling collection truck operators, and to our team that operates the Sampson County Landfill, Waste Industries employs 52 individuals in Sampson County with an annualized payroll over $1.5 million," Hitchcock stated.
County manager Ed Causey noted a competitive contract and a "good working relationship with a reliable vendor." At the same time, he said there was an opportunity to show the public that its local government wants to ensure the most quality, cost-effective service is received by putting out a request for bids, at which time the county might also be able to confirm how good the current price is. By putting it out to bid, the county also ran the risk that price might change, whether for the better or possibly worse.
Kirby said Waste Industries was offering many "good things" in individual conversations with board member,noting discussions with Jerry Johnson, vice president for capital projects at Waste Industries. Commissioner Jarvis McLamb shared the same feeling, and asked Holder for some of those numbers and services cited to commissioners to be relayed to staff by WI officials and put on paper to consider.
Holder said "until the board is comfortable," Waste Industries was willing to offer a month-to-month contract. She said Monday that the item is not expected to be considered at this month's board meeting, set for this coming Monday, so the monthly agreement is anticipated to extend through at least January.
The board has options to consider, and the decision would ultimately be up to commissioners.
"Staff has worked on an RFP and that can be put out if needed," Holder said. "I think we should go month to month as long as we can so staff can get all the information the board needs to make their decision."
Waste Industries has talked about the cost of the proposed contract, which has been reduced, but also noted the benefits of keep the company over solid waste and recycle collection. They operate the convenience sites, as well as the landfill, so the personnel is present locally, an added convenience.
"That is the ultimate dilemma," said Kirby. "If you can knock 3 or 4 cents off the tax rate, (other companies) have my attention."
However, past cost savings, there were the "intangibles" to consider, commissioners and staff said.
Holder said there has been some concern of some "glitches" that might occur by splitting solid waste and recyclable collection duties among two companies, or accepting an agreement with another vendor that would push Waste Industries out of the fold when they have been a local partner for many years and run the landfill and convenience stations.
Commissioner Jefferson Strickland said the importance and value of a strong local partnership could not be understated.
"I agree with what the thoughts are," said Strickland. "I think many of us remember a Friday afternoon when there was an awful mess in the making. Just one telephone call was made and an hour later the problem was solved. I would not us want to lose that benefit of being able to make that telephone call when it is needed.
"I support the thinking of this board that we improve what we have and value our partners as well," he continued. "It's nice to know you can make a telephone call and get something done."

Il Diavolo Rosso
Italy was, after France, the second nation to truly embrace cycle racing and in doing so, help define the sport throughout the 20th century. In fact, according to some, the sport's first true professional was a racer from the northern Italian town of Asti. And it was this man, Giovanni Gerbi, who won the first ever edition of the Tour of Lombardy, in 1905. Originally named Milan-Milan and run over a distance of 230km, in its formative years it became known as the 'World Championship of Autumn'.
"Fifty-five took part as Gerbi triumphed following a 199km lone breakaway. His average speed, a shade under 25kph, left Italians awestruck…"
– From Maglia Rosa by Herbie Sykes
Gerbi was certainly the stuff of legend. A notoriously explosive character, he rode to numerous victories at dynamite pace and wearing his trademark blood-red jersey, reminiscent of the vino rosso for which his native Piedmont region was famed. In 1903, he won Milan-Turin by more than half an hour and in 1904 became the first Italian to race at the newly established Tour de France.
As a child Gerbi was expelled from school for pugilistic tendencies. His father bestowed upon him the gift of a bicycle, which proved the perfect way to channel the young brute's aggression. He was dubbed Il Diavolo Rosso, the Red Devil, in part due to the colour of his jerseys, but also thanks to the devilish streak he displayed throughout his professional career.
Folklore has it that, in 1906, he tied up a signalman at a level crossing after he broke away on the second edition of the by now renamed Giro di Lombardia. With his rivals forced to take a detour, the Red Devil cruised to victory, allegedly rubbing his hands with glee like a silent-movie nasty.
When his misdemeanour was uncovered he was banned for two years. His fans became enraged. Gerbi's huge appeal had contributed to a surge in sales of the Gazzetta dello Sport which, spreading like Gerbi's evil grin, topped 100,000 copies at the peak of his popularity. Aware of his great publicity value the race organizers duly reduced his ban. If the incident produced cycling's first supervillain, it also helped establish the Giro di Lombardia as one of the sport's legendary one-day races.
The 106th Giro di Lombardia takes place tomorrow, Saturday 29th September.

No New iPad HD, Apple TV and iOS 5.1 Story. No, Nothing of Apple Today. This Is About Timing and Relevancy.
To boost the technology side here, I should really write about something related to Apple today. Anything about the iPad HD launch, about the new Apple TV with improved definition and user interface or about the iOS 5.1., which for some reason seems to be the topic on everyones tongue in Twitter (should I upgrade to see what the fuzz is all about?).
Actually, it seems at least two Apple topics are trending at the same time – the 'iOS 5.1′ and the 'New iPad'. It is amazing to see the pull the Apple brand has. This together with the launch and tons of news articles published to to high traffic news sites gives an amazing opportunity to any content marketer in any form related to the Apple, technology or to the creative ones that can put a relevant spin and suck people in as the buzz is highest. And to be more exact, it really gives an amazing opportunity to any and all content marketers. But only, if you can find a relevant way the buzz topic of today fits your existing framework and site / brand image. Read more
