Well -- Republican governor Scott Walker survivors dozens recall election the governor of the last and I just talked about a second ago some Democrats worry governor Scott Walker well and not just -- -- Democrats -- Jenkins hit the ground in Milwaukee to find out.
About it.
I've got Scott Walker has been blanketing the airwaves with radio and TV ads he's outpacing his opponent in fundraising like 25 to one innings leading.
In the latest polls there's even talk that some Democrats the national level may not be fully committed to this recall fight.
However Wisconsin Democrats like Peter Barca the assembly's minority leader says it's not over yet rivers in -- market is this fight.
RD over two weeks ago.
Boy not even pulls this promises to be a very cool selection and we get some -- once.
In Wisconsin with senator gore Senator Kerry when he -- Nero margins -- Borough President Obama won by big margins.
But this could be one of the -- racism was stats and history its neck in neck it's all -- vote her out.
Who's believers in whose followers -- moves.
-- people sort out on Election Day.
However you know if you look kids did their fundraising it appears that Governor Walker is got a tremendous advantage there 20/20 -- the one.
-- latest poll had walker -- 56 points.
What is.
Mr.
-- mayor Barrett's plan to it to come back and how do you guys see this turning in your favor.
Well Governor Walker worst travel the country and collected money from very far right wing extremists he he does have a huge advantage.
But as Paul Harvey used to -- for the rest of the story now money is flowing -- Mere appearance closing the gap in the number of ads and I predict that as we move in the next week or two closer to the election.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Let's talk about it.
Even some Democrats it would appear seem to be losing a little bit of their interest and in -- in this recall fight.
How do you see -- -- I don't think so at all in fact I think you're gonna see armies of people.
They're gonna be pounding the pavement this coming weekend or Memorial Day in and that last weekend before the election.
-- people are still very energized.
And I think you're gonna see if you churn out it'll be very interesting got some are -- -- could have heard multiples of presidential election levels.
Big interest here in the -- because we feel our values our state we feel that -- -- -- values have been totally disregarded.
And we moved in a far right wing direction it just doesn't fit this -- I read in what she journal that Wisconsin Democrats in the house the DNC for 500000 dollars -- didn't get it.
But did I also see -- research that chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is this coming out to do a fundraiser here.
Before the recall.
What is the story.
Is Washington.
Helping you guys very sort of on your own fighting this.
Though Washington has been helpful and end their becoming even more -- -- recalls not into the last couple weeks of the race Tom we expect dead.
Hot as the not a money has little bit better and there's been more interest -- you're gonna see -- huge turn out.
That's what it's all about it's all ball voters who shall -- at the polls it's not a -- and as the richest friends in the most billionaires to get on -- There was -- recall election will be a rematch Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett taking on governor Scott Walker.
Now walker defeated -- by five percentage points in the 2010 governor's race and today -- Griff Jenkins spoke with mayor Barack's.
-- earlier today at a press conference here in Milwaukee we caught up with mayor Tom Barrett.
To find out what his -- -- to winning this recall fine.
Mr.
scripting is at Fox News Channel he looks like -- maybe a little behind in the polls -- behind in fundraising.
What's your strategy between noon June 5 to turn around your favor and win this thing.
What we know that this is a very unusual election I don't know that there's any modeling that has been done that's going to reflect just telling usual this election it.
I don't think anybody knows exactly who's going to come out and vote.
But what we have seen as we've seen -- tight race we think the -- is going to be -- there's no question that if this comes down to who can raise more out of state dollars.
Scott Walker's gonna win he's raised tens of millions of dollars.
From out of state donors but that in of itself raises questions because what he's done to raise that money is he's become the rock star the -- right.
And he's traveled this country.
And he's been the Tea Party favorite and it's allowed him to bring in tens of millions of dollars and I'm not gonna be the -- -- the far right frankly I'm not -- -- be the right there the fire left it.
I'm gonna be rock salad in focus on what this state needs.
And that's a governor who's gonna work to create jobs.
If and it just fell one jobs in the locker seems to be making the claim that you turn on any television -- radio that he has an advantage when it comes to the jobs numbers pieces.
Well again you what you can see is you have -- an embattled governor.
And embattled governor.
Who is now in a recall where nearly a million people signed signatures.
We want him removed from office you have.
Long trusted well -- accepted.
National reports dealing with joblessness that say over and over again that under his leadership was cats and lots more jobs than any other state in this country.
In 2011.
Those are Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers those -- not numbers that -- -- cooked up.
Those are not -- -- the state of Wisconsin -- -- those -- the nonpartisan Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers.
Ask yourself this twenty games before an election and embattled governor produces a new set of numbers.
Within four hours he's running commercials touting those numbers.
Knowing that those numbers cannot be verified until after the election.
Are you going to as a journalist except them.
We wanted to what you have to say well I like I question the numbers obviously a question numbers because.
It would be an unprecedented.
Deviation.
From bureau labor statistics numbers it would be unprecedented.
They have the swing the 57000.
Jobs swing that he claims exists right now.
