Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) The Wisconsin governor's race is going down to the wire. According to the latest from Public Policy Polling, Republican Gov. Scott Walker leads Democrat Mary Burke by just one point, 48 percent to 47 percent. That's close, and it underscores the importance of GETTING OUT THE DAMN VOTE. There's no shortage of issues to hold against Scott Walker: He's attacked union workers and women workers and reproductive rights and voting rights.
