   E.B. Outfront started sending people that follow the show through Twitter emails through Twitter on Monday. Thsi may explain the boost in the ratings on Monday.

   Personally, I get enough spam in my email, CNN has a web page that I can see what programing they have coming up I do not need more advertisement emails. It is probably a revenue stream for Twitter now. If people get tired of getting advertising from Twitter in their email will Twitter become a thing of the past?

   I was very supprised at the margin of victory Walker had. I thought it would be closer than it was. Does anybody think that the people are tired of giving the pollsters information that really reflects their opinion?

   I will vote Democrat and back tax hikes when they stop telling my 85 year old mother something isn’t covered by her Medicaire and she gets socked with a medical bill for $850 when they cover and pay for illegals and their kids with my tax dollars. They want more of my money to give to people too lazy to get off the couch. Tlle them to turn off the VIEW stop smoking dope and making every excuse in the world why you can’t get a job. Teachers in my school district start at $40k a year, the super makes over $200K. Ridiculous, but yet they will foreclose on a person’s home who has lost their job and can’t come up with the inflated school tax. There’s no money for Vets, yet they are giving millions to countries that hate us and the vets have fought. Ironic or moronic?
   The Dems want more of my money, no friggin way. I would rather vote some one in office that wants to make a buck because this guy will keep the open sign on the front door, with Obama in office for four more years we will all have the yellow sheriff notice on our doors. Amateur hour is up.

   To Rick: I had an automated telephone poll and for the heck of it went through the questions. It was concerning our governor in PA. I was honest on everything except my gender/age/wage. A little too personal to answer. I could see some one just giving auto answers to a person asking them what they voted for if they are being questioned in front of others for fear of retaliation. If pollsters want real info, give out questionnaires for people to fill in, or make it part of the voting process. Some people would rather not have their opinions published.

   Ed was starting to cry. Maybe Ed could explain why the unions lost half of their membership .

   RealityChick – I hear you. The problem is that neither political party has a fix for the problems with Medicare and Social Security. Add on to that servicing the current debt political parties are running out of manuvering room.

   There are to many federal programs that need to be fixed. They need to fix the problems that they already created before they start new programs or expand existing programs.

   Well at least the recall wasn’t a complete waste(most likely since I assume the Republicans will fight it since it was so close). When I saw the money difference I sort of knew Barrett would have a hard challenge but I always said all the Dems have to do is win one of 4 state senate recalls to get a small victory and looks like they did

   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/06/wisconsin-state-senate-democrats_n_1574366.html

   Democrats have appeared to win control of the Wisconsin state Senate, with former state Sen. John Lehman (D) declaring victory in a recall election of state Sen. Van Wanggaard (R).

   According to late results, Lehman leads Wanggaard by a margin of 36,255 votes to 35, 476. The results are still unofficial and Wanggaard has not yet conceded, but Lehman declared victory. If Lehman’s win is confirmed, Democrats will have a 17-16 edge in the chamber.

   Al,
   Ed was crying,because he was once again made to look like the fool he is.

   Wisconsin Democrats claim Senate control, but last race still not called

   “If Democrats ultimately succeed in winning control of the chamber, even some among them have acknowledged that the victory may be more symbolic than anything. The Legislature is not scheduled to meet before November, when regular elections are scheduled for about half of the Senate seats, using new state district boundaries favored by Republicans.”

    Another take on WI

    “It likely won’t matter much who ultimately wins the chamber, at least right now. The Legislature isn’t expected to convene again until January and whichever party gains the majority will have to defend it before then in November’s elections.”

    @ratboy

    18% of people who voted for Walker said they will most likely vote Obama. That basically is his margin of victory over Barrett. the same poll that rightly claimed Walker would win by 7% had Obama at 8%. I think it’s comparing apples and oranges what happened last night compared to November.

    Sure Romney could win, but I don’t see him outspending Obama 8-1 like Walker did to Barrett or have the advantage to basically campaign for months before he even has a challenger(setting the tone of the debate). Alot of the Walker support basically came from the people who thought a recall was a waste of time and voted with that in mind, which won’t happen in a general election.

    To be honest Mark, that election in a way restored my faith in voters, when even the other side shows the “power people” that they are not stupid. I mean that in a way that a good sign.

    I give many Democrats there a lot of credit, it was gusty and the right thing to do. You know many of them wanted to vote against Walker, but chose principle over heart. And many have earned my respect, and I’m not one that gives my respect lightly.

    “Mathew, you gonna jump on Lawrence? I hope you understand that while I disagree with you on this topic and of course some others, I do respect how you make your arguments and the fact you respond to disagreement without name calling. I don’t care for racism either but did not think Joan needed to be called out for something she said along time ago and apologized for. You are my favorite liberal, now go get Lawrence!! ”

    He didn’t make a racial slur, so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to call him out for, other than the fact that he’s spouting the usual stupid nonsense that infests this section. His actual statement is likely a reference to the Nielson research from a few years back that showed that only around 2% of FNC’s audience is black, whereas CNN and MSNBC are closer to 15 – 20%. To point that out is no more prejudiced than pointing out that cable news audiences, on all channels, are mostly elderly; It’s an accurate representation of the demographic information from Nielson.

    On a completely different subject gas prices are roughly 3.50 now. For all the Republicans who think that somehow the President controls gas prices(at least when they 4 dollars) why aren’t they crediting him with the drop in gas prices?

    *MSNBC’s Schultz Lectures Union Members Who Voted for Scott Walker

    Demands they explain why they voted for Walker

    Dear ED, voters on either side don’t owe you anything, they need not explain anything to you. You? On the other hand have alot of explaining to do. The people have the right to vote however they wish, in fact Mr Ed, YOU OWE THEM!!

    Night Everyone

    Just saw this, Mark? You think $3.50 is a jusitfied price? Call me when it gets to $2.09 where it should be for a economy to flourish.

    @ Mark

    When the left crys about how Walker outspent the left 7-1 they are only taking into consideration (once again selective book keeping) the last couple of months. What they are not talking about is the money the left spent for the last year ever since the mess started. The money spent on the first recalls of Senators and all the rest. Lets face it people, the unions and the left dumped a lot of money but at the end the American people said enough is enough and then they threw some bucks in the other direction. If the left keeps up this spinning (and I hope they do) they will not energize THEIR base they will energize the right base and more importantly the independent voters AGAINST the left! Keep it coming looney left, we need your help to get Romney elected!! And Oh YEA, to Ed Shultz, Mr. Shultzt, PLEEEEASE PLEEEEASE throw all your energy towards campainging against Mitt Romney. PLEEEEEASE, cuz when you do that, he will be a shoe in to win!
