Recall efforts for 2 of Walker's poodles fail to collect enough sigs (Grothman & Lazich)

But thanks to all the folks who went out and tried their best.

Sad a Grothman--he is the one who called the protesters slobs!!

The Wisconsin Summer of Recalls is still up and running. Dems need to pick up 3 seats!

1:03 PM: Lazich recall committee short of needed siganatures

The group seeking to recall GOP Sen. Mary Lazich says it's short of the needed signatures to trigger an election.

The deadline to turn in signatures is today, and the group estimated in a release that it has collected about 18,987 signatures. The committee would need 20,973 valid signatures by day's end to force an election.

9:47 AM: Grothman recall effort falls short

The committee seeking to recall GOP Sen. Glenn Grothman says it will fall short of the needed signatures to trigger an election.

The group said in a statement this morning it had gathered more than 15,000 signatures. It needed 20,061 signatures by today's deadline.

Today is also the deadline to file against Sen. Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin. Opponents need 20,973 signatures to trigger a recall election in that district.

1. It's all right, they got the signatures in the seats that counted most
Both Grothman and Lazich are in 60% McCain seats, they would have favored regardless. I saw of video of Lazich talking about Walker after his State of the State address, she was praising him so much it was sickening. And Grothman just a nasty piece of work and an original teabagger, he beat an incumbent Republican in a 2004 primary for not being "conservative" enough.

2. Yeah, we missed on Grothman, but we can put our efforts into Hopper, Kapanke, Olsen, Hansdorf, et al
We need to win three of the recall elections to flip the State Senate. Go Wisconsin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
