The irony of Wisconsin is that after all the effort to recall senators, defeat Prosser, and recall Walker, which have either all failed or are expected to fail, the Democrats may have done Republicans a huge favor.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus:

Quote:
"I don’t think there’s a state in the country where the GOP knows the voters better than Wisconsin… We’ve been analyzing this state for two and a half years. Contacting two and a half million voters, having all of that consumer data, the Prosser election, the state legislative recall challenges… You have a pattern here of success that is going to make it easier to win here in November.

“We’re not seeing any fatigue on our side at all. One of the biggest problems that the Democrats decent number of Democrats who tell pollsters and in focus groups, ‘we may not be Republicans, but we think this recall stuff is out of control. A legislative disagreement with Walker is not enough to have recall and spend millions of dollars on that.’ To many Democrats, this is absurd. That’s a problem in their turnout model that they don’t know what to do with.”
Bush lost Wisconsin in 2004 by 0.4%. The idea that Romney might potentially win it is nothing short of sheer awesomeness.
