The University of Wisconsin Badger Poll also found that state residents overwhelmingly approve of the state’s recall process, even if they're more divided on what outcomes they want for the nine senators facing recall elections. The survey also found nearly half of state residents disapprove of the job that Democratic lawmakers are doing.

Also Wedensday, the state Democratic Party released limited information about polling done about those recall campaigns.

13. Good for you! If I weren't all the way in Massachusetts, I would love to do the same.

Our Massachusetts legislature and Governor also enacted anti-collective bargaining legislation, but there was not a word about it from unions or public employees. Very sad.

Best wishes for success.

6. Walker will find out in January just how unpopular he is...

:D

I'm not in WI, but I don't need to be to recognize an asshole. He's a goner come recall time in January...then he might finally realize how stupid and obnoxious he truly is...then again, he's dumb enough to miss it completely.

7. "I don't govern according to public opinion surveys."

First legitimately truthful thing he's ever said. He doesn't give two shits what HIS BOSSES have to say about anything. Only THE BOSSES.

10. When recall of Walker hits

Any chance Russ Feingold would run for governor?

[Tempest]

11. Inside word is yes

He's wanted the job before.

12. AWESOME!!! n/t

[No Elephants]

14. Outstanding, though I believe he really belongs in the Senate.

He's such a high quality politician. What's wrong with voters?

He'll have a leg up on the name recognition issue and will be a known quantity.

I hope voters display some sense and elect him in a landslide if he runs.
