NB Live Chat: Wisconsin Recall
Tonight is the big night for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the union drones who despise him. Exit polls are said to be trending in Walker's favor so expect tonight to be very interesting, particularly if Walker's Democratic opponent, Tom Barrett, goes down hard.
Join us tonight as we keep track of the latest news in a live chat to discuss the recall election and the media coverage of it. Will Walker win? Will Ed Schultz have a meltdown on-air? We'll find out sooon.
As with all NB live events, you are expected to abide by the NewsBusters terms of service. Vulgarity and general obnoxiousness will get you kicked from the chat room. You will need a Flash-enabled browser to participate.

Kerry vs Bush 2004, exit polling had Kerry up.

Obviously, union households are identified as such, and I can see them telling a pollster that they are supporting Barrett while voting for Walker inside the election booth.
I just don't see an explanation for the reverse possibility: publicly supporting Walker, but voting for Barrett.
Isn't it interesting that

Isn't it interesting that union membership has declined in WI once Walker let it be a "choice" rather than forced membership? That's called "voting with your feet".

Fox - Too close to call
NBC (=MFNBC) - Too close to call
CBS - Too close to call
ABC - Too close to call
Townhall - Walker 60, Barrett 39 (16% in)
Drudge - Walker 61, Barrett 39 (17% in)
Hmmm

You have to admire Walker's stick-to-it determination. The guy has got to be strong to make it through all this. Props to his Lt. Gov, too.
Wisconsinites must be emotionally exhausted.

Gov O'malley
Submitted by jaywl on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 11:42pm.
Fox, with Bret Baier just had Gov O'malley of Maryland on. The Gov said the dems were outspent 10-1 and, bizarrely, twice claimed that Walker simply hadn't been indicted,YET, and that was the reason the recall failed. I swear these people don't give a rat's ass about the truth. I guess when the news program host doesn't call them on obvious falsehoods and misrepresentations the down-in-the-dirt politicians really don't have to worry. Even on Fox,and with Bret Baier, that surprised me, again.
