Michael Barone’s re-weighted Wisconsin results: Obama 48, Romney 48
POSTED AT 3:21 PM ON JUNE 6, 2012 BY ALLAHPUNDIT


O’s showing against Romney in the exits was the one tiny bit of hope that MSNBC clung to late last night, to the point where Lawrence O’Donnell said, with a straight face, that the big winner in Wisconsin had been … Obama.

Here’s Michael Barone stealing the last little bit of their candy:

The Wisconsin exit poll evidently reported the race for governor in the recall ballot as 50%-50%. With 92% of the vote in, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s excellent website reports the score as 54%-46% Walker. Let’s say that’s the final results: only 13% of precincts from Milwaukee County and 3% of precincts from Madison’s Dane County — the Democrats’ two reservoirs of big majorities — remain uncounted. It has been emblazoned on mainstream media that the exit poll also showed Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney in the state 51%-45%. But if you think the exit poll was 4% too Democratic — and that’s in line with exit poll discrepancies with actual vote results over the last decade, as documented by the exit poll pioneer, the late Warren Mitofsky*— that result looks more like 49%-47% Romney. Or assume the remaining Milwaukee County precincts whittle Republican Governor Scott Walker’s margin over Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to 53%-47%, which looks likely, the Obama-Romney numbers would look like 48%-48%.

This is in a state that Obama carried 56%-42% in 2008. But those putative numbers also look very much like the numbers in 2000, when Al Gore carried Wisconsin 47.8%-47.6% over George W. Bush, or the numbers in 2004, when John Kerry carried Wisconsin 49.7%-49.3% over Bush.

Walker ended up winning by slightly less than seven points, which, per Barone’s logic, should mean that Romney actually has a very narrow lead over Obama. Two problems with that, though. First, there were several iterations of exit poll results last night as results came in and, if memory serves, the 51/45 spread for Obama that Barone mentions was only the first of them. The next wave showed Obama’s lead ballooning to 12 points(!) even while it also showed Walker inching out to a four-point lead over Barrett. I lost track of how the exits moved after that (as did lefty Michael Tomasky, who’s otherwise in full “great news for Obama!” spin mode), but ABC seems to have settled on a seven-point Obama lead. If that’s true, then Barone’s “adjustment” analysis would place Obama and Romney in a dead heat. But that leads us to the second complication: He seems to be assuming that there are no crossover voters who prefer both Walker and Obama. I.e., he’s arguing that if the initial Walker/Barrett exit had it 50/50 and Walker ended up winning by seven, you should assume that the same number of voters were erroneously attributed to Obama in the exits when they should have gone to Romney. Is that really safe to assume? Remember, according to the exit poll, fully 60 percent said that governors should be recalled from office only when they’re guilty of misconduct. Could be that there’s some small but significant critical mass of centrist Dems who were queasy about yanking Walker in the middle of this term given the tit-for-tat recall precedent that might set but are prepared to pull the lever for O in November. On the other hand, if Michael Barone tells you one thing and an idiot like me tells you something different, Barone’s conclusion is a safe bet to be more accurate. So he may be right — given the exit polls and final results last night, Wisconsin’s a toss-up.

What happened last night in Wisc was the most important vote this year other than ousting Obama. It gives hope.

After your right wing voter disenfranchisement to curb the youth vote, your robo-calls misleading voters and about $50 million spent (most of it from outside of thestate) you conservatives think you have bravado or some kind of mandate. PLease. Walker had a whole segment of the population make him fight for his job 17 moths in and oh yeah, by the way, there may be some indictments headed his way.

This ain't over by a longshot....

News Flash! Walker WON last night and the unions LOST.

From the Washington Post:

Exit polls showed that Democrats had captured nearly 69 percent of the voters who made up their minds in the past few days. But it wasn’t enough.

Instead, the night provided a huge boost for Walker — as well as Republicans in Washington and state capitals who have embraced the same energetic, austere brand of fiscal conservatism as a solution for recession and debt. In a state known for a strong progressive tradition, Walker defended his policies against the full force of the labor movement and the modern left.

And he won, again.

Walker clearly relished his victory, saying,“Tonight we tell Wisconsin, we tell our country and we tell people all across the globe that voters really do want leaders who stand up and make the tough decisions.”

WOOT WOOT

After the results were in, Romney issued a statement celebrating Walker’s win.

“Governor Walker has shown that citizens and taxpayers can fight back — and prevail — against the runaway government costs imposed by labor bosses,” he said.“Tonight voters said ‘no’ to the tired, liberal ideas of yesterday, and ‘yes’ to fiscal responsibility and a new direction.”

Your filthiest CS-er obama just TWEETED it in. YOU FILTHY PROGRESSIVES LOST. AND YOU LOST A BUNCH OF MONEY. Ha_f'ing_ha.

SPENDING GAP? MEDIA IGNORES $21 MILLION UNIONS SPENT IN WI
by BEN SHAPIRO 6 hours ago 71 POST A COMMENT
The spin from the left on the morning after their disastrous Wisconsin recall election failure is that Governor Scott Walker (R-WI), who walked away with the election, did so because he spent oodles of money.
Politico’s takeaway:“Money shouts.”“Walker wins one for the plutocrats,” trumpeted Joan Walsh of Salon.com .“Outspent 7-1, Democrats couldn’t beat Scott Walker with a strong ground game.” Media Matters’ favorite Washington Post columnist, Greg Sargent, cited the Citizens United decision allowing corporate political spending no less than five times in his recap of the election – despite the fact that not one dollar spent in Wisconsin would have been illegal before Citizens United. The Post’s Chris Cillizza said,“Being outspent 10-1 (or worse) is never a recipe for success in a race. Democrats cried foul over Walker’s exploitation of a loophole that allowed him to collect unlimited contributions prior to the official announcement of the recall in late March.” Daily Kos said that with Walker’s spending edge,“It shouldn’t even be close.”

Ya know, when that crybaby last night said $34 to $4 ratio I thought what bull...those filthy goonion thugs don't skim off a working man's salary just to fund condos on the coast and $500/hr hookers and .5 pounds of blow and trunkloads of cash and money laundering schemes just to risk it vanishing with only a $4 million fight! I'd bet that that phfuking gun runner obama channeled some of that cartel lucre up there as well in addition to the kickbacks he gets from the muslim brotherhood.

Make no mistake the goonions are reeling. This is a PRECEDENT. This was a LONG time coming. I agree with the commie, it ain't over by a long shot. Not until all the goons are leashed. And not until the core is out of the boil in November.

If you ever need a cop in an emergency don't call 911...they're union thugs. If your house or car is burning don't call the Fire Dept...a thug might answer the call. When you run over a pot hole and damage your tire don't call your city road maintenance...a thug with a shovel might fill that hole. And don't call the EMS service if your in a car accident...the medical staff are definitely super thugs! The steel beams on the highway over-pass are rusting and the cement is cracking don't call your city government...call Scott Walker's billionaire donors to help you everytime you're in one of those situations you stupid brainwashed lemming. You dumb poor right-wing goons are applauding the buying of our democracy by billionaires, who want to rule us through puppet politicians. Idiot!!!

Obviously they make too much money that states can't afford to keep paying plus they don't think they'll ever lose their jobs for any misbehavior at all. So whats to make them do a good job? Nothing. We need more and better workers for a reasonable salary amount. The country is BROKE, we are out of money. Get it???? Many unions are stealing all of our tax money for a few union workers and in the process are breaking the bank of states. It doesnt work. You can't keep it up if you don't have the money. Thats a lesson neither you or Obama will ever seem to learn.

They also lost in San Diego and San Jose when voters voted to slash public employee pensions.
