Rep. Gwen Moore says Wisconsin Democrats' "tremendous ground game" will help Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett pull off an upset Tuesday in the state's recall election for Gov. Scott Walker.
“I do think that people have underestimated our ground game, and I think we’ve developed the critical mass of factors to lead us on to victory on Tuesday,” Moore told MSNBC's Thomas Roberts. “No. 1, Tom is surging with independents, such an important constituency for winning an election. Secondly, we have a number of switchers, of—you know in 2010, we had 60 percent of labor voting for Tom Barrett and 40 percent for Scott Walker. Now those numbers are 80-20, 80 percent for Barrett and 20 percent for Walker."
Of course, it's not unusual for partisan on both sides to talk up their chances of success in the days before an election, the better to motivate their supporters. And most polls still show Walker with a slim but consistent lead over Barrett.
Still, Moore said Democrats are seeking to spur turnout among party memberw who stayed home when Walker was elected in 2010. "We have a tremendous ground game that has targeted Racine, Beloit, Kenosha, southeastern Wisconsin, Milwaukee, 72 wards in Milwaukee, where there are numbers of Democrats who did not necessarily participate in 2010," she said. "And we believe that there aren’t any pollsters that are able to predict which of those voters, who are likely voters among those people that we’ve been able to touch."

once again if all the polls shows him given head i mean ahead, why hasn't HIS OWN people put out their internal polling as well.
can think of a reason why!
As Jimi Hendrix said, "Keep on pushin', straight ahead..."
"'tremendous ground game'"
yes, that is good, however you still need a air game as well, just to off set the ground game.
go Wisconsin!!!! we all will be Badgers tomorrow!!!!
Yes! Air strike on the Republicans! Call it in!
As of today, you're already using noxious gases in an attempt to ward off Republican voters. A regular walking Bio Hazard.
Mayor Tom Barrett does not support the 2nd Amendment according to the NRA and does not want to allow Wisconsin citizens to apply for concealed carry weapons permits.
Democrats use Nazi Gun Control Policies as template for US LAW!:

That's just Bull----No one is taking the good old boys weapons11
Obama and DNC game plan:
Tell MSDNC to make people believe there is a "surge" of support for Tom Barrett.
Send Ed to Wisconsin to be Head Cheerleader to rally the troops (paid by union).
Ship President Clinton to speak for Barrett because of impending loss to Walker.
Have Obama over fly Wisconsin to fund raisers to avoid being tied to Barrett lose.
Amp up Liberal media sites to create false enthusiasm for Barrett, which is down.
Ignore reports of unions not supporting Barrett for this election and walking away.
Try to make people forget the Barrett lost to Walker in 2010; as if he got any better.
Break out ACORN voluteers to implement Voter Fraud Plan #56 in Wisconsin recall.
Replace Labor Union Socialist (Raised Fist) sign with Smiley Faces until Wednesday.
LMAO oh thats super funny.
you have had a good day making funny's, gee you may have improved your position of troll comedian.
i mean you still have a way to go. but keep up the good trolling.
When this election is over...I want that professional acting congresswoman and the other very professional acting dem senator from Wisconsin who was singing about Gov. Walker..."hitting the road jack, and doncha come back no mo, no mo, no mo, no mo!!!!
Did you guys hear here sing that? What professionalism. What a role model. What an idiot!!
I cannot wait until people like that just sit down and shut up after tomorrow night.
Remember, right always prevails. The union thugs are going down....finally.
What about the corporate thugs. What happens if they lose?
If labor wins this fight it must be considered an upset. Since the Supreme Court has decided that it is legal for someone to buy an election, money has given one side an unfair advantage, this time for the Governor of Wisconsin. If we win we will celebrate, but not for long, for the greedy are ever relentless in their desire to make us all slaves. On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin! We may lose, but we will never give up!
I wondered who the dumb screaming idiot was on TV - if liberal districts elect people like Gwen Moore it is no wonder Democrats have problems. Moore is as stupid as a rock.
LMAO!!! speaking of stupid rocks hello.
how you been?
Who are you people who are against Americans just like you,,
Who are you --so willing to give your country away to people to the 1%
Who are you --drinking the Fool- Aid of those who want to OWN the USA like it's their favorite toy. They want to rape the land and keep us poor.
We are Americans- that's who we are!
We are Democrats - that's who we are!
We are Voters - that's who we are!
FORWARD ~ Obama/Biden 2012
BARRETT for Governor !
We are the Majority - That's who we are!
The only way Walker could win is by raising money out of state from Billionaires, outspending Barrett 25 to 1, and suppressing voter turnout - PERIOD!
OliN-The pet rock of the blog.
.Walker is the head of the state, he carries more responsibility. Scott Walker can not absolve himself of his responsibility to any city in WI.
Walker is responsible to ALL cities in WI..............and he is abdicating his responsibilities! Just like a quitter does......nor acknowledges ALL of his children.
Walker failed his cities in WI.....
BARRETT for Governor of WI
Obama/Biden 2012
If Walker wins I have one thing to say for the average working person, bend over and grab your ankles because the Republicans will see that we are a bunch of sheep ready to be sheared and anyone that beleives they won't come after them next will have a rude awakeing coming. Remember when the state goons were sent out to help companies beat down workers, that's where we are going today.
Johnny you are sooooo right !!!! That's why I can't figure out how any average American with a brain can root for these Rep. to win any office --They have shown their colors.
Ely - johnny, Close the factories and take care of yourselves, bend over and grab your ankles because of you Democrats.
