Scott Walker narrowly survives recall election.

[Avenger]

If elections mean Democrats "ground game" turns out voters who end up voting for Republicans, then they have a problem.

The word "narrowly" appears nowhere in the story you've linked to.

Either way, it's terrible news.

The original story did say narrowly. Creative editing on their part...
Then it must have been closer when the ran they original story. When it became not close, they edited the headline. That is as it should be.

I'm sure you'll be reporting the next egregious distortion from Fox, won't you?
Maybe I'm not completely awake from a nap, but what motivation would Faux have to present the margin as being more narrow than it was? Wouldn't any distortion from them be more likely to portray the result as a "landslide?"

Unions didn't put your lazy butt out of work, hard working visitors from the south did. Get it right...

Hmm. Who are these Avenger and katkennel drones?

One more time we see the psy op at work by the media. If you believed them, Walker was toast. Republicans "overreached" and alienated "moderates" and "swing voters". They are "extreme". Democrat turn out was heavy alright but looks like they voted for Walker! That is the only explanation for such a lopsided win.

???
Absolutely everything I saw prior to the recall vote led me to expect this outcome.
Can you link to something representative of what you're talking about?
You might be right about recent polls but the overwhelming impression left after two years was the he was hated by the people, that he overreached and did what he never talked about during his campaign. Everyday we heard that Democratic "base" had risen up and ready to throw out Walker. Even I was getting concerned.

Um, I'm thinking that Shakeman is back...

Is Dakota back?

I never thought this recall would succeed. Recalls are too hard, generally. The state was too divided.

katkennel is most certainly Shakeman.

If I had to guess I'd say "Avenger" is from the same keyboard as the Swampy persona.
