Will Walker win?

Most polls show his ratings starting to really tank. Dems still out of town.

I've never figured the reason of the legality of it, but why do politicians go out of state? Why don't they just stay home and not go to work. Sure there's a legal reason why, hard to believe they could be locked up for staying in state and not voting.

I honestly don't know who I'm for.

Its because his "cost cutting" is just union bashing for the sake of it.
He took his mandate and then went way beyond it on an ideological crusade.

Private run unions can do what they want, public unions do need to be line. Course with states being broke, it's cut cost or shed workers. States are cutting regarding the private sector, so I agree all should be in line.

Course if the GOP didn't let corporations run amuck, the middle class would be thriving and it wouldn't be an issue. It's possible unions will take off again in the future to fight corporate america running the middle class into poverty.

While I accept that leaving the state is a legal political maneuver; and I recognize that both parties do it, I personally find it distasteful and not in keeping with the concept of an elected representative.

They are elected to represent the citizens and that means showing up and making the unpopular decisions.

Running away to prevent a quorum is dishonourable to me.

Im glad to see his ratings tank. you can't just get rid of collective bargaining and then slash corporate taxes without somebody getting mad.

Corporations raping from the top and unions raping from the bottom its amazing we average Americans get any scraps at all.

I don't think unions should be public, since the taxpayers don't get a vote in it, but with the corporate rape, we'll all have to get in a union to try and get benefits in the future.
