Wow, when even Rasmussen is showing numbers like that, you know the jig is up.
The Pubbies cannot afford to back down, and won't.
They may not have to. Recall petitions are already circulating on the eight GOP Senators who currently qualify for a recall. Of them, two were reelected by a combined margin of less than 2,000 votes in 2010--a rather ominous sign for a recall election--while a couple of others also represent marginal seats.
Recalls can work both ways, you know. Cowards who flee the state to avoid doing their jobs are subject to recall, too.
It would be quite a shame if the two DEMOCRATS who won by less than 2,000 votes in 2010 were subject to recall, especially the Democrat who won 401 votes. Oh, and by the way, if the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's numbers are right, NO Republicans won by less than 2,000 votes in 2010. Maybe 2008?
Actually neither group is eligible for recall. Only those Senators elected in 2008 are eligible, which means there are probably more vulnerable Democrats than Republicans.
Frankly though, SSP posted a PVI index for the districts and most of the Democrats hold pretty safe districts. The two most vulnerable who are eligible for recall are 56% and 59% Obama respectively.
