Take nothing for granted people, the latest polls are looking good for us, but we need to work hard in this last week to assure that our candidates win with strong majorities. There are already reports of widespread vote fraud in Nevada and other states, so we must make sure that our candidates win by fraud proof majorities, everywhere.
Walker vs. Barrett
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker now earns his highest level of support yet against Democrat Tom Barrett in the race to be Wisconsin’s next governor.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters finds the Republican candidate with 52% of the vote, while Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee, picks up 42% support. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
The latest numbers move this race from Leans Republican to Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.

Election 2010: Gubernatorial Scorecard Governor Scorecard: GOP 28 Dems 13 Toss-Ups 9 Ind 1
New polling in Wisconsin moves that state’s gubernatorial race from Leans Republican to Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.
Voters will elect governors in 37 states this November. Nineteen of those governorships are now held by Democrats, while Republicans sit in the governor’s chair in 18 of the states.
The Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard shows Democrats solidly ahead in three states, with three more leaning their way. Republicans are running strongly in 17 states, and five more are leaning GOP.
No states with a Republican governor are considered likely to elect a Democrat in November. But eight states now headed by Democrats – Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming – are seen as likely GOP pickups.
Johnson vs. Feingold
Republican challenger Ron Johnson receives over 50% support against incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in the fourth consecutive survey of Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Johnson, a wealthy plastics manufacturer, picking up 53% of the vote. Feingold, who has represented the state in the Senate since 1993, draws support from 46%. Only one percent (1%) are undecided at this point.
The race remains Leans Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

Election 2010: Senate Balance Of Power Senate Balance of Power: Dems 48 GOP 46 Toss-Ups 6
Current projections suggest that the Democrats would hold 48 seats after Election Day while the Republicans would hold 46. Six states are in the Toss-Up category (California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Washington). All six Toss-Ups are seats currently held by Democrats. Republicans have the edge in three Democratic-held Senate seats-Arkansas, Indiana, and North Dakota.
At the moment, no Republican-held seats appear headed for the Democratic column.

SEIU lobbyist brags about hatchet job on Scott Walker on behalf of Tom Barrett, with media cooperation.

In his speech, Wall urged opponents who wanted to criticize him for not paying taxes like the little people of Wisconsin to “bring it on.” I guess his GOP critics were the first ones out of the gate to do so. Well done, GOP. Well done. As for the rest of the state, they can start asking the main question of Johnson: Who are you? Prediction: Feingold by 10 points.

The Polls are encouraging, but now expect massive voter fraud in the City of Milwaukee - after all, we pay for day care for more children than actually exist in the city, so fraud is a natural. Will we see, as in 2008, bus loads from Chicago? Will the democrat US attorney and the democrat DA care?

I would also ask if the City of Milwaukee Election Commission will care enough to report any suspicious activity on election day, and will the Milwaukee Police Chief care enough to break down and assign an Officer to each of the polls as used to be done years ago or will he continue to look the other way and take the position that he’ll respond only if called? The heads of both Departments are Tom Barrett appointees.

Might want to define “suspicious activity.” Flag pins, yellow T-shirts, crucifix jewelry, Slurpees? (I expect any person who records a “voter” reading his name and address off a card to be arrested, while the people being recorded are free to continue.)

The very interesting thing is that Rasmussen’s numbers put both Walker and Johnson beyond the threshold of victory.
That is, Walker gets 1% more than Barrett, Undecideds, Others, and the margin of error combined. Johnson gets 2% more.
That is, statistically, absolutely HUGE.
As far as vote fraud, type “Familia Vota” into Google.

here’s some insight on the national weather picture for 11/02. It always makes a difference. Bottom line, there’s only one poll that really matters.
http://wattsupwiththat.com/
“…found empirical evidence that rain (snow) reduces voter participation by about 1% (0.5%) per inch…”

Weather can have an effect on the vote, but I think it has a much greater effect on those less committed, and this year, that is clearly the Democrats. if your side is going to lose bad anyway, why bother…

You know who else has, historically, had an effect on Republican voter turn out?
This guy. The proud son of US Congresswoman Gwen Moore.
