Darling fishing for recall 'fraud'; She wishes

I have a feeling it will get real ugly down in her District during the 'WISCONSIN SUMMER OF RECALLS".

Darling fishing for recall 'fraud'; She wishes
Thu, 04/21/2011 - 3:42pm

Someone in State Sen. Alberta Darling's district reports receiving this automated call:

"This is a citizen action alert for voters in Wisconsin's Eighth Senate District represented by Alberta Darling. There have been numerous reports of fraudulent activity related to the collection of recall petitions against Senator Alberta Darling. Over the past 8 weeks, supporters of the Recall Alberta Darling Campaign have visited homes across the Eighth Senate District and intentionally misled the public by collecting signatures with a so-called petition. If you have been approached to sign a petition, and you believe you may have been misled, or you want to ensure your name is not included in the recall petition, please call (414) 897-1913. This call is paid for by Friends of Alberta Darling, Patty Reiman, Treasurer."

So-called petition?

Since organizers say they have collected 30,000 signatures -- about 10,000 more than the minimum -- Darling's going to have to come up with a lot of fraud fi she wants to stop a recall...................

1. A comment about Repug money coming in for Repugs...
Recall that during the last week of the Prosser Supreme Court run--lots of outside money came in for ads for Prosser from the outside. Stay tuned.


This is a good point made by this person -from the OP link.

I got that call today and I'm

I got that call today and I'm not even in her district. It brings up an important point that will cover all the recalls: where's the money coming from? It appears the funding wells are going to be so deep for Republicans that someone like Darling can start throwing money around before the signatures are even submitted, and Randy Hopper can hire national-level operatives to run his campaign.
Republicans will spend massive amounts of money on this, because they can.

2. Maybe she'll get some callers asking where they can go to sign the petition.
:) I'm with you. I think it's a plea for money more than anything and an opportunity to play martyr.
