Wisconsin Recall

Tuesday’s huge in American political history.

It will be precursor to November, good or bad.

The republicans believe that hurling billions into false messaging, drowning out the other guy, and levelling the heavy guns, they’ll win via pure control of the airwaves and media.

If Wisconsinites are actually as detached from the current state of their State as the republicans believe they are, Walker will prevail because ill informed voters, partisan reds, and uninterested citizens that don’t bother to vote will outnumber the good guys.

This could be the republican Stalingrad, a catastrophic defeat costing irreplaceable material, treasure, and image. A defeat in a theatre the republicans poured this much into will be the forerunner of November.

Should this crooked and amoral puppet prevail, however, the red machine will trumpet it as a signal that voters want plutocracy, an oligarchy, and harsh austerity over Democratic government.

It’s all on the table. How America will move forward. Will the middle class survive, or will we become a third world cesspool where the Roves, Walkers, Romneys and Cheneys eat only the best, and the vast majority is left to kill one another for a lump of coal, a scrap of leather, a quart of gasoline.

Scary times. Scary but very exciting.
