Scott Walker Recall: Movement Underway For Governor To Win Democratic Primary

Menomonee Falls Patch:

Therefore, it should probably come as no surprise that some supporters of Gov. Scott Walker have come up with a new plan to thwart efforts to unseat the Republican governor.

Utilizing word-of-mouth and social media, these Walker supporters are encouraging voters across the state to write in the governor as a candidate in the Democratic primary - if the recall election moves forward.

The idea behind this long-shot movement is pretty simple: If enough people write in Walker's name in the Democratic primary and he won that race, there would be no need for a general election.

Governor Walker will will re-election, no doubt about it. The state budget has improved and taxes haven't been raised. It was the previous Governor whose record was unsuccessful. At least he has the guts to stand up to the unpopular for the good of all of the citizens in Wisconsin. His courage is admirable considering the forces, from outside of Wisconsin, that were attacking him. When state senators, who were elected to participate and vote on legislative issues, leave the state instead of doing their job ( umm.. sounds just like the "do nothing congress" rhetoric that has been rehearsed so well) and are praised, at the sexact same time that the congress is admonished, is really an incredible, hypocritical position to take. No wonder the country is so divided... it's only ok if it's your party who is in the driver's seat, even if it's wrong. Good luck Governor Walker.... you certainly don't deserve all of the hate and name-calling that you have received.

Remember a couple months ago when the organizer of the recall promised us that she would personally be reviewing each and every signature? She actually “assured” us, “right here, right now,” she said, that if a signature wasn’t acceptable to her it wouldn’t get turned in.

•About 1,500 signatures that were manipulated by circulators;

Looking more and more like the law will take him down before the people do. It's a lose-lose for Scotty, either way !!!

Meet Gov. Scott Walker’s New Political Hit Women
The embattled Wisconsin governor hires two young Republicans who are veterans of no-holds-barred campaigns and propaganda efforts:

So they're using social media and word of mouth for this.

"In just more than a week, 772 people have given the page a “like,” and are spreading it around their social circles."

A full week on facebook, where it couldn't be easier for folks to show support if they choose to, they got 772 people to "like" their cause.

I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters who signed the recall petitions are scared right about now!

Must be desperate, anything to thwart the process, hey it's the republican way, it has nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with power.

I try to imagine the scorn that would be dumped on the Dems if they considered running a "fake-republican" in an R primary. It would not be pretty. I can't imagine a Dem politician even considering such a thing - their political life would be over.

But the Rs did it, and were proud of it.

We can draw our own conclusions from that.

You will never go wrong knowing that, no matter how low whatever current action is making you shake your head, there will be something lower they will try.

DNC – The Federal Election Commission imposed $719,000 in fines against participants in the 1996 Democratic Party fundraising scandals involving contributions from China, Korea and other foreign sources. The Federal Election commission said it decided to drop cases against contributors of more than $3 million in illegal DNC contributions because the respondents left the country or the corporations are defunct.

eLucida has a post that explains nicely why this cannot happen. Let them put their effort into it, it is a moot point.
