Yes, the tax bottom lines in Wisconsin are now lower than in Illinois. Comparable properties in Wisconsin are laughably lower. Don’t even attempt to compare the commercial property bottom lines. A couple more years and Illinois will be forced to change the border line to save Illinois businesses the trouble of moving into Wisconsin.

I will kick the next conservative you even thinks about not voting for Walker in this recall fight. No bumper stickers or signs on our yards or cars. Just go out and vote, get votes, and get more votes!

If the lawn signs between my place and the freeway are any indication, the Dems are in serious trouble. The Dems have taken to putting up hand-painted quarter-sheets of plywood with a white area where they paint in thier talking points. Here are some that I remember off the top of my head:

‘Drinking water at risk” – I have no idea what that’s all about. Probably told some local community that they should pay for thier own water treatment plant instead of asking the rest of the state to pay for it.

“Gave away public $$” – I don’t remember the Dems worrying about this while they were in power and giving away state money to the public employee unions.

“War on women” – Again, I don’t have any idea what this is about. I guess it’s the bad, evil repubicans saying that they don’t want the government providing everyone with free abortions and birth control pills.

“Lied about the deficit” – you mean the deficit that years of Democrat control in Madison left us? The 8th largest deficit in the country? The one Scott turned into a surplus? THAT DEFICIT? Why that rat ba$tard!

“WI #1 in cuts 2 edu” – I’d bet that this “cut” includes making teachers pay for part of thier retirement and health insurance. In that case, those cuts were deeply deserved. On the other hand, if we don’t know that “2″ is not a subsitute for “to”…

“Halted Green Energy” – Darn, and I was hoping that Solyndra would build a plant over in Baldwin!

“Cut Earned Income Tax Credit” – you mean he reduced the amount of reverse income tax that gets paid out to people who don’t work? Sounds like he’s just making them pay thier “fair share”.

I heard my first ad from Friends of Scott Walker on the radio this evening. There hasn’t been much on the air from the Dems, but I suspect that both sides are assuming that St. Croix county is in the bag for Scott, and are spending resources in places like Milwaukee, where the Voting Dead can be expected to have a large turnout. By the way, 6% is not outside the margin of fraud in this state, so we need to keep working.

It’s also interesting that the online ads I’ve seen have scrupulously avoided talking about Walker taking away collective bargaining power (NOT “rights”) from the public sector unions. They’ve been concentrating on job creation (as though union power has EVER brought about job growth [well, outside the public sector]). Good news is that the latest jobs numbers show that Walker’s policies have, in fact created jobs.

Still, driving around Northeast WI, I see far more enthusiasm for Walker than against. Purely anecdotal and local…but I really believe people are fed up with the process…fed up with constant politics. I think there was amazing, God-inspired wisdom in the structure set up in this nation. Normally, there are some span of years that administrations get to prove themselves. Something criminal occurs sometimes and recalls could happen. But this whole thing has, I think, very much soured the state on politics. I think many want it to go away for awhile. The constant commercials are intrusive. It’s been going on for a very long time. And I think the Madison cheer leading by the Unions tie this mess directly to the Dems….right where it belongs.

A. Glenn says: Don’t get cocky.
B. Me: Ok…but I think Walker crushes Barrett (again)

Maybe the others were home resting up for the big day.
