hypercrites

Not so fast. He could very well lose a regular election, as a lot of folks thought that the recall election was uncalled for. The national issue now raised is how valid exit polling is anymore, because like was the case in Florida in 2000, the polls didn't match the results.

I agree with this. Exit polling, like polling in general, isn't perfect. I think some folks will says one thing to a pollster but do another in the privacy and anonymity of the voting booth.

There's also the matter of all those petition signatures that were verified and accepted by Wisconsin. If all the petition signers cast a vote for the ouster of Walker, then Walker should have lost.  Stuff just doesn't add up there.

Your logic is flawed Clara. It's been many years since I've signed a petition of any sort yet I vote in every election.  People with vested interests sign petitions, people with a general interest in their government, vote.  This is where the disconnect is.  Petitions by nature only represent one point of view.  Petitions are just a list of people who favor something.  They don't reflect those people who didn't sign.  The people who said "no thanks" to the idea of the recall weren't counted until the vote yesterday.
