Facing recent polling that indicates Governor Scott Walker is in relatively good shape in the Wisconsin Recall Campaign, the progs are reframing the narrative.

The blame game has been going on for about a week with Wisconsin recall folks complaining about a lack of support from the Democrat National Committee, President Obama, and national democrats. In addition, state officials from labor unions like the AFL-CIO and AFSCME are complaining about weak national support for their efforts.
This week the media began to frame the narrative to position and protect Democrats in the 2012 campaign. Initially the Wisconsin Recall Effort was heralded by the media as an example and predictor for Progressive gains in retaliation against fiscal conservative efforts by Republican Governors and Legislatures. In addition, they sold the Wisconsin race as a bellweather for President Obama’s victory in November.

However, now, in the face of a possible loss, they are desperately back tracking, and walking back the expectations while attempting to diminish the national message that would stem from a Walker victory.
The media is now even going so far as to claim that, not only if Walker is recalled do they predict an Obama victory; but also, if Walker wins, but only by a small margin, it still reflects that President Obama will win in November. See how that works: If Tom Barrett wins, Obama wins; and if Tom Barrett loses Obama wins. Progressive logic, mixed with media manipulation, at its finest.
For Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and big spending union Obama supporters, this Wisconsin election could showcase their re-emergence as a powerful force, or it could spell certain optical disaster for them. They have spent tens of millions on this recall effort and everyone from Bill Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Shultz to Richard Trumka has rallied in Wisconsin in support of the democrat recall effort.
The eyes of the entire political nation will be focused on Wisconsin tomorrow, and we will watch along with the rest of the country hopeful that financial and fiscal sanity will prevail, and the recall will be resoundingly defeated.
