MSNBC: "Recall efforts have been started for a number of senators on both sides of the issue."
Is this true? Are there recalls for the Democrats as well? Or is this just some sort of knee jerk 'both sides' crap that the news is so fond of? I haven't heard of anything but recalling the 8 Republicans.

Only Dems will get elected in the new election. It's all good.

2. There are indeed recall efforts for all the eligible D Senators
The organizers of the se recall movements, or at least some of then, seem to be located out of state. Tens of teabaggers are signing the petitions at this very moment.

8. "Tens of teabaggers" - LOL
A friend of mine pointed out the every time there's a gathering of "tens of teabaggers" the news is all over itself saying it's a 'mandate' that means the Democrats have to make compromises an concessions. But if tens of thousands of progressives protest every day for weeks - well, they don't really say anything. They certainly don't say that it's a mandate and the Republicans have to compromise of make concessions.

11. Yes, Wirch here in Kenosha
is being petitioned. They don't seem to be going anywhere with it though. This week-end they said they were "doubling their efforts" which means they can't get the signatures they thought they could - so now they have to "get busy"...They refuse to say how many sigs they have after 3 weeks now and weekend rallys (that included Joe the Plumber and not many locals)It won't be successful. They only have 60 days to get the sigs and they've used up half of that almost and haven't got anywhere near 13,000 sigs.

12. My really repulsed guess is that Koch -backed
workers are paying a lot of people to sign recalls for the Dems.

It never ceases to amaze me that Repubican officials and their easily manipulated minions don't understand that once their usefullness is gone, they will be tossed aside...by their own corporate Sugar Daddies.
