Can You Imagine How Many Scott Walker Recall Signatures Will Come From Dane County?

Every year there are contests for the number of inches of snow that Madison will receive over the winter months.  Someone should start a contest for the number of signatures that Dane County will provide to make sure Scott Walker is recalled.

News that the recall signature process against Governor Scott Walker is throttling along at a fine pace should not be surprising to anyone who has even remotely listened to the political conversation in this state over the past months.  There is genuine anger over the way Governor Walker has conducted himself in office, and the voters who have the final say are being now being heard.

This morning the newspaper made known that there are now 300,000 signatures, more than half of what is required.  All this work only took 12 days, and that included a national holiday!  Some of the county totals thus far are impressive.

People have signed the recall petitions at the rate of about 1,040 per hour,  according to United Wisconsin. The group says signatures have been collected  from people in all 72 counties in Wisconsin, including:

• 10,033 residents from Columbia County.

• 4,713 in Pierce County.

• 3,698 in Oneida County.

• 16,845 in Eau Claire and Chippewa counties.

• 8,540 in Portage County.

But can you imagine what the totals will look like from Dane County, the center of the debate that forced a recall, and home to state workers, their families and friends?  Can you imagine the number of signatures from all the Democrats and Progressives in Dane County who know Walker to be one of the worst governors in the entire country?

No numbers for Dane County were released this week, but when they are finally known it will be breath-taking.
