I just contributed to his campaign. He's the only thing keeping Wisconsin from going full on fascist.

With a predicted 2point average margin. It’s a tight race at this point.

Barnes is catching up, and it’s only August. Do they have a debate scheduled?

This may skew the pollsters results as angry Magats are willing to combat just about anybody on the phone as they do on the Internet. Safety in distance with many of them.
So if mainly magats answer those calls the results skew toward the reactionaries.

So what we need in the polling sample is also how many unanswered calls were there.

polling average or whatever it is Nate Silver does.

I'd take it with a big grain of salt.
