2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

Btw, I'd just like to clarify, I in no way think that Walker's chances of winning are bad. They're actually pretty good.

I mean, if anything, he's spent about eight times as much on this as any of his opponents.

Money talks, as they say... Especially in politics, and especially since that bat-shit crazy ruling that says that corporations are people (which I'll believe is true when OP's board of directors faces criminal charges for what happened).

Walker could have been outspent 100 to 1 and it still would not have mattered, the Democrats started off with a disadvantage the minute the reforms started to work, after that they were left struggling to find ways to attack Walker, and have ended up having to settle with lies and falsehoods.

But on the other hand, I still don't think him winning is going to hurt the Democrat's much overall.

So you don't think a Republican winning just a few months before the main election, in a state that Democrats have traditionally held nationally, and providing the cherry to a year of failed recall efforts, thus demoralizing unions and Democrats. Is not going to hurt Democrats overall?
