"It profits me but little that a vigilant authority always protects the tranquillity of my pleasures and constantly averts all dangers from my path, without my care or concern, if this same authority is the absolute master of my liberty and my life."

Beware the Marquette University Poll
















Hot Air is highlighting the most recent Marquette University polling data which shows, bizarrely, that Governor Scott Walker leads Democratic challenger Mary Burke among registered voters, but somehow trails her among likely voters.   The poll overall assumes an enthusiasm gap in favor of the Democrats, skewing D+6 among likely voters.

Well, I call bullshit.   There is literally no way after what the Dems tried to do to Walker in the recall election, and after the recent primary win by pseudo-Democrat Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County (essentially running as the conservative in the Democratic primary for an unopposed office and opposed by liberals, including Mayor Bloomberg of New York) in which many Republicans, including yours truly, crossed over to vote, that the enthusiasm gap is somehow skewing Democratic in Wisconsin when everywhere else in the country it's skewing strongly for Republicans.    No f'in way.

Walker will win, and win fairly handily.   Mark it down.   He's done a good job, and everyone knows it.   Wisconsin Republicans are not going to sit on their hands at home when the Dems try to take it away.
