Wisconsin heads to the polls today and all eyes are on this important election. Polls just opened minutes ago and Wisconsinites are already lining up to vote.
Very long line at my polling place just after 7am, but everyone is in good spirits. #wirecall

#WIRecall It will be great if the predictions of 65% voter turnout are achieved or exceeded- regardless of outcome, this would be fantastic

Guy in line tells person he is on phone with that he is voting and that person should be to. Great energy. Get out and vote. #wirecall

President Obama is busily distancing himself from Governor Walker’s challenger.
@BarrackObama stands with Tom Barrett …. just not next to him. #WIunion #WIrecall #WIright

President Obama cares about his reelection. So he avoids #wirecall & "Tweets" his support for Tom Barrett. Can't vote for this man again.

In none of the 3 fundraising speeches he gave last night did Pres. Obama mention today's recall vote in Wisconsin.

Our aching sides! Tell that to Debbie Wasserman Schultz who said that the Wisconsin election is a “dry run” for President Obama.
But conservatives are standing strong with Governor Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
Rest up tonight, Wisconsin. The whole country is watching. Stand strong, we're standing with you. #WI #WIrecall

Before any votes, congratulations to @GovWalker for turning Wisconsin around & setting it on the path to prosperity. #WIUnion #WIRecall #p2

I stand with @ScottKWalker! #WIrecall #electionday #summer2K12

We are with you WI. Be strong and get out the vote today for @RebeccaforReal and @ScottKWalker. #yrsforwalker #wirecall

#wiunion overplayed their hand. Time for the silent majority to show them who's "boss." #wirecall #standwithwalker

If I lived in Wisconsin I'd vote for @GovWalker. Were I a Democrat I'd vote a bunch of times for him. #WIUnion #WIRecall

Maybe after this recall is over Scott Walker can teach The Lightbringer how to stop whining & deal w/ an inherited mess. #WIRecall
— SFK (@stephenkruiser) June 5, 2012
Polling shows Governor Walker with a resounding lead, which has the Left in a preemptive tizzy. Some go with the old “nothing to see here, just pretend it isn’t happening.”
Wisconsin labor battle used to be huge story for MSNBC. Tonight, eve of Walker recall, 7pm 'Hardball' leads with Obama/jobs.

Planned Parenthood joins in the lies.
Our time to vote Governor Walker out and stop his attacks on women's health is finally here! Polls are now open until 8pm #wirecall
— Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin (@PPAWI) June 5, 2012
Others are already starting with the whining and attempts to set false narratives as to why Governor Walker may win. It was announced yesterday that the Department of Justice would be in Milwaukee today to “monitor” voting.

Convenient, huh?
Another line of expected spin:

And, it begins!
In WI, Walker outspent Barrett nearly 3-1 on TV alone, but all that matters is your vote. Take back your state today. #wirecall #barrett4WI
— Sam Seaborn (@SamSeaborn) June 5, 2012
Remarkable that Walker has outspent Barrett by better than eight-to-one yet today's race is still filled with suspense.
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) June 5, 2012
More spinning and finger-pointing from the Left!
RT @thehill: Dems, labor fallout begins in Wisconsin (by @cam_joseph) #WIRecall http://t.co/vSNBGUGx
— Dan Spencer (@cayankee) June 5, 2012
From The Hill:
In addition to spinning the expected defeat, Democrats and labor pointed fingers of blame. Some union officials and activists partly blamed President Obama for refusing to help. Others complained that the recall was always an uphill battle.
Walker has led in all recent independent polls, including a survey from the Democratic-affiliated Public Policy Polling released Monday that had him up 50 percent to 47 over Barrett. The race has been highly emotional and hard-fought and has garnered national attention for months.
Aren’t they just precious?
Wisconsin, all eyes are on you today. We are counting on you to let Big Labor know that their type of business is unwanted. Their strong-arm, bullying tactics no longer work. Americans, however, want to work. Like Lt. Gov. Kleefisch said “Wisconsin is open for business.” Help prove her right!
Vote.
