Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI)
The Wisconsin governor's race is going down to the wire. According to
the latest from Public Policy Polling, Republican Gov. Scott Walker leads Democrat Mary Burke by just one point, 48 percent to 47 percent.
That's close, and it underscores the importance of GETTING OUT THE DAMN VOTE.
There's no shortage of issues to hold against Scott Walker: He's attacked union workers and women workers and reproductive rights and voting rights. He's made big promises about job creation, then sucked at job creation. He's refused Medicaid expansion, denying health coverage to 87,000 people. He thinks $7.25 an hour is a living wage and that the minimum wage doesn't serve a purpose anyway.
Walker has benefited from a firehose of money, but he's still worried. And no wonder—it's not just a second term as governor on the line for him, he's also looking ahead to his 2016 prospects, and a loss or even a narrow win will hurt him there.

I'm sorry, I can't make phone calls, but I will chip in $3 to Daily Kos to help fuel Get Out The Vote efforts.
Seriously, one point between Walker and Burke. Get out the vote.
