Gov. Scott Walker said this afternoon that the spring election results show there are "two very different worlds in this state."
"You've got a world driven by Madison, and a world driven by everybody else out across the majority of the rest of the state of Wisconsin," Walker said at a press conference in the Capitol.
... snip ...
"For those who believe it's a referendum, while it might have a statewide impact that we may lean one way or the other, it's largely driven by Madison, and to a lesser extent Milwaukee,
Residents of urban Wisconsin: you are not Real Badgers. Real Badgers live in small towns and vote for Prosser, by God and Cheese.
I'm sure this will do a lot to improve Walker's poll numbers.
Oh, and BTW, outside the urban areas:
This in turn leaves about 479,000 Kloppenburg voters, and 593,000 Prosser voters, in the rest of the state.
Those 479k people clearly don't matter to Scott Walker. They aren't Real. Not like he is Real. And you know what sort of people think like that? Sociopaths.
Although I understand those in the profession don't use "sociopath" any longer as a descriptive term.
That may be because "Republican" is easier for lay people to remember.
So why is Walker bothering to do this?
Because he wants to claim he still has a Mandate to do Stuff. Which we know will be bad stuff. Ergo, a meme:
Whoever wins, the close Prosser-Kloppenburg election shows Scott Walker has lost his mandate
