It seems the electorate is pretty grumpy and is going to vote "its your turn"
So in WI the elected and then reelected Walker. Folks are hurting and they saw a group that seemed to be coming through it o.k. (public employees) with awesome very cheap healthcare, an inflation proofed pension plan to which they were decribed as paying in mothing and so on .... its your turn.
Nationally it is a bit harder to single out a particular union, and union persuasions are a mixed bag.
But Mitt, as the poster child of 1%, seems to be doing o.k. So, Obama says he is going to tax those folks .... its your turn.
What is complicated is how this will play out in local elections for federal offices.
When voters in WI look at Tammy and Tommy will they see Mitt and Obama or Walker and public employees.
Up and down the ticket the perception of a local issue vs a national issue will determine the makeup of ther Senate and House. Seeing the the house just got re-gerrymandered to holey hell, it is terribly confusing. The Senate does not get to redraw boundaries, every six years is the boundaries are the same even if the demographic shifts.
I think the last Baldwin poll is rubbish, and that Tommy will win WI. He FINALLY started advertising in WI, superPACs will unload on Tammy, and "the most liberal" voting record coupled with the ad with her cussing how angry she is will do real damage.
Elsewhere? Tester? Do Montana's (whio are going to support Mitt) decide to split and send Tester back to the Hill?
Murphy?
Is McCaskill really actually going to win?
I'm thinking all 4 of those seats are easily Red in the end.
