In case you forgot, here's what Rick Esenberg predicted in April:
What can we take away from the Supreme Court vote? I think it suggests that the recalls will fail and there is no groundswell of opposition to Governor Walker. The "backlash" is largely a Dane County phenomenon and that is not surprising. Challenge the prerogatives of the company town and the regulars get mad. Dane County had a disproportionate effect because it turned out like crazy in what was still a low turnout election.
I did an interview for Channel 12 tonight in which they shared some numbers in the districts of GOP Senators who are facing recall petitions. You play four quarters but I don't see the GOP losing Senate seats in our part of the state - and probably no where in the state. Whether the Democrats will lose seats is another issue. My best guess is no change.
As far as recalling the Governor, not a chance.
Stay tuned!
Seldom correct. Never in doubt. That's our Shark

Even a broken clock is wrong most of the time.

Esenberg is, of course, the broken clock.
