[h=1]Wisconsin recall: DNC’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz sees no national impact if Democrats lose[/h]The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee said Friday that if Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) doesn’t prevail over Gov. Scott Walker (R) in next month’s Wisconsin recall election, there won’t be any ramifications for Democrats nationally.

“I think, honestly, there aren’t going to be any repercussions,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said in a broad-ranging interview on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers.”

“It’s an election that’s based in Wisconsin. It’s an election that I think is important nationally because Scott Walker is an example of how extreme the tea party has been when it comes to the policies that they have pushed the Republicans to adopt,” Wasserman Schultz said. “But I think it’ll be, at the end of the day, a Wisconsin-based election, and like I said, across the rest of the country and including in Wisconsin, President Obama is ahead.”


The interview, taped Friday morning, is scheduled to air 10 a.m. Sunday.


Walker found himself at the center of a national party battle earlier this year after Democrats collected more than 1 million signatures to force the freshman GOP governor into a June 5 recall election.


Democrats have cast the recall as a referendum on Walker’s push to curtail collective-bargaining rights for public workers, arguing that a Barrett victory next month would send a warning to national Republicans: Pursue a Walker-style agenda, and pay the price at the polls.


National groups and party committees on both sides of the aisle have spent heavily on the recall, and recent polls show Walker building a slight lead in the race.


The DNC has directed more than $1.4 million to Wisconsin, and Wasserman Schultz herself is set to campaign on Barrett’s behalf early next week.


Some Wisconsin Democrats have complained that the national party has relied on labor groups to support Barrett and did not get involved in the race until it was too late.

LOL

She knows they are losing in the polls, it will be a big deal because the other states will follow in Wisconsin's footsteps.
 
There will be no particularly special national impact whichever way the Wisconsin recall ends up. The die has already been struck. Rightwingers are liars and suck big time. Enough said.
 
I think this recall was a wonderful thing for Wisconsin.....over $50 million was donated by outside interests making "recalls" the third largest money maker for Wisconsin, outpaced only by cheese and the Wisconsin Dells.....
 
Certainly there are a huge chunk of voters who are probably not even aware of this whole situation going on in Wisconsin. Just another day in 'Murricah!!

Voters are realizing unions are no longer important in the real world, and that has the democrats scared they will no longer receive the millions they get from them.
 
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) enjoys a 7-point advantage over Democratic challenger Tom Barrett among likely voters in Tuesday’s recall election.


Fifty-two percent of likely voters said they would vote to retain Walker, according to a Marquette Law School poll released Wednesday; 45 percent of likely voters said they would support Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee.


The poll suggests that Walker is heading toward victory on Tuesday, which would deliver a stinging rebuke to Democrats and members of the labor community who had sought the first-term governor’s removal after he pushed a controversial bill curbing collective bargaining rights for many public employees through the Wisconsin state legislature.

Gatorman, the Honey Island Swamp Fag.....
 
i agree with the OP. Last time I looked Obama was up by 7 in WI. ( not that polls mean much now). and it's not a national election it's a state by state election.

Do I care about the governorship in Wi? maybe a little -not enough to sway me either way. I refuse to vote for ORonba ( the duopoly) either way.
enough of the sameness of professional politicians, who cannot tie their Windsor knots on K St.
