Recalls Against WI Republicans TOMORROW (PPP FINAL POLLING)
Just a ridiculously cut-copy-paste bit of stealing from Ace's earlier post on this subject:
It isn't just about Wisconsin's future, but the nation's.
You can donate to the Wisconsin GOP here, or to a group called Frontline Wisconsin.
And if money is tight, donate volunteering time. There will be a liberal army in Wisconsin to drive the vote. We cannot just sit back and hope our voters show up too.
PPP's WeAreWisconsin(D)/DailyKos(DD+) poll results below:
Beyond the obvious loss, a good trend for us:
SD-32
Jennifer Shilling (D): 54
Dan Kapanke (R-inc): 43
Undecided: 3
(Shilling's lead since the last poll has shrunk but she still beats Kapanke)
SD-18
Jessica King (D): 48
Randy Hopper (R-inc): 49
Undecided: 3
(A reversal from the last poll showing King beating Hopper 50-47)
SD-10
Shelly Moore (D): 42
Sheila Harsdorf (R-inc): 54
Undecided: 4
(Harsdorf extends her lead over Moore from the last PPP poll)
SD-14
Fred Clark (D): 47
Luther Olsen (R-inc): 50
Undecided: 3
(Reversal from last poll showing Clark edging Olsen)
The previous polls by PPP were done in June and July.

All of these races are still too close to comfort. If we hold the Democrats to just one gain here, and flip one of their seats next week, the unions are pretty much out of ammunition going into 2012.
Capping their failures to stop the original bill from passing and defeating Judge Prosser, this final blow of failing to even tip the scales of power by one net seat to their favor makes it obvious they no longer run the show. It would mean Madison's stranglehold on much of the rest of the state is done. The "voluntary" union due payments would continue to decline, and, well, I don't want to get you all too excited. There is work to be done. So do it.
Bonus:
The likeliest Republican gain is in the Holperin-Simac race in SD-12.
Go HERE to support Republican Kim Simac, just to pad the Republican Senate majority.
