Clock ticks for Scott Walker

Quote
Wisconsin Democrats announced Tuesday that they have collected over a million signatures to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker — nearly twice the 540,208 signatures, or 25 percent of the total votes in the previous election for governor, needed to trigger a new election.

The petitions are being submitted today to the state Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections. This will in turn set off a lengthy review process by state officials, before an election can go forward later in the year. But given the very large number of signatures that are well beyond the already high threshold, and the state’s recent history of recalls in the state Senate, it seems a safe bet that an election will occur.

The concern I have is who will take his place and will that person be competent.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

That is what I wonder, as well. The problem is that no one wants to give Walker a head start on the mud-slinging, so they will be waiting until the last possible legal moment to reveal candidates. That’s pretty much the way the whole recall has been run, actually.

Huzzah! Though I hope that if the Democrats get elected they don't bring in a watered down version of the laws.

I wonder what borderline illegal actions Scottie and the Koch brothers will take next.

Voter intimidation and voter fraud.  Stuff like that.

Ironbite-but in the end it won't matter, Walker's going away for good.

I think they could write a Lord of the Rings sized book on all of the shady things the Koch brothers have done and are currently doing.
