About those Wisconsin citizens, it's very much possible that they might vote for Walker yet again tomorrow. It turns out that working class voters do not actually care that much about ending bargaining rights and cutting benefits for everyone - except themselves. So the Republicans have lost the support of public workers and their families but that's it. http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/08/handicapping-wisconsin-recall-elections -----------------------------snip The 18th may lean to the right, but it also boasts the most public workers per capita outside of Dane County, home of the state capital, Madison. For instance, there are nearly a dozen correctional facilities in the district, and by supporting Walker's anti-union budget bill, Hopper curbed corrections officers and other prison employees' compensation and bargaining rights. "I voted Republican my whole life," says John Eveland, a CO who plans to vote for King. "I feel just absolutely betrayed." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
