Tomorrow's Wisconsin Vote a Referendum on the Country?

According to Rush, Wisconsin is now a successful state thanks to the changes Walker implemented. Everyone in Wisconsin "is living it", "must know it."

So tomorrow, will Walker be kept in office - proving that Republican governing principles trump Democrat ones?

RUSH: The Wisconsin recall election tomorrow. The incumbent Scott Walker is opposing the former Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, and the Democrats are pulling out all the stops in the past three or four days.

It has been documented statistically that that rumor [Bush having a DUI] did some damage to Bush's vote count on Election Day five days later. Now this rumor about Scott Walker having fathered an illegitimate child 24 years ago is by some outfit called the Wisconsin Citizens Media Co-op and they said they got it from a woman named Bernadette Gillick. Bernadette Gillick teaches physical therapy at the University of Minnesota.

And the story goes that she said she knew Scott Walker's girlfriend when they were students at Marquette. And this Wisconsin Citizens Media Co-op said they hadn't been able to "independently verify" Bernadette Gillick's account, but they went ahead and ran the story anyway. [They shouldn't have, but Rush is a fine one to talk. He too has spread unconfirmed rumors...then had to correct himself later on in the program (after the people who heard the rumor and believed it might have turned off....)

...But she [the woman in question who denies Scott Walker is the father of her baby] thinks that the Walkers are being confused because there's Scott Allen Walker and the governor is Scott Kevin Walker. So they ran with this before anybody actually knew whether it was true or not, which also smacks of desperation.

RUSH: Well, we'll see. It's all going to be known here in a little over 24 hours. I gotta tell you something. This latest thing, the out-of-state money, it's really a funny statistic: 74% of donations to Tom Barrett are from within Wisconsin; 38% for Walker are from within Wisconsin. Well, things don't happen in a vacuum. If a lot of out-of-state money is coming in for Scott Walker, it's called the Tea Party. And they saw what this started as, with the unions all over the country trying to take over this state.

Wisconsin is a battleground for the very future of the union-government model. That's what's at stake here. And Obama and the Democrats have looked at it that way themselves, particularly back in the days when they thought they were going to get rid of Walker and when they were going to defeat Walker. But I have to tell you, folks -- and I'm not trying to be a downer. I live in Literalville. Well, Literalville is a suburb of Realville. I live in both places.

I've got two homes, homes in Realville and Literalville, and I like to say that when you look at Scott Walker's record in Wisconsin, he hasn't laid anybody off. He's lowered taxes. Unemployment in Wisconsin is much lower than the national average. Employment is looking good. The state's coffers are looking good. Everything Scott Walker has implemented has worked exactly as he said it would. And my point in trying to keep people enthused about this and feeling positive is:

"Let the Democrats say whatever they want. Let them try to create all kinds of alternative universes. The fact is, people are living this, and so they know."
