http://www.thenation.com/blog/163883/wisconsin-drive-recall-walker-starts-november-15Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is going to face a recall election next year.
More than 200,000 Wisconsinites have pledged to join the effort to remove the radically-anti-labor governor and pro-recall groups have announced plans to begin circulating the petitions November 15. Even the governor's aides admit that it is all but certain that the groups will collect far more than the 540,000 signatures that are required to force the governor to face a new election next spring
And the numbers don't look good for Walker.
Polling shows that a solid majority of Wisconsin voters disaprove of the governor's performance, with overwhelming majorities of Democrats and independents favoring his removal. Among self-identified independent voters, a group that favored Walker by a 56-42 margin last November, the split in now 52 percent for recalling the governor to 36 percent for keeping him. Internal polling, which pits the governor against a variety of potential challengers, has him running poorly even against contenders who have never before run statewide races.
