Wisconsin Governors Race Dead Heat so Far

Latest polling shows the race for Governor to be a dead heat.  Walker is ahead by only 1 point.

Lets take a look at the race so far.

Mary Burke has been campaigning and her ads have been on the airwaves for the last few months.  She has been in full campaign mode.  She has had too, she was widely unknown by a majority of the voters in the state.  She had to get her name and message out to the masses.  She has been able to do that pretty much unhindered by the Walker Campaign. 

Walker has just very recently turned on the ignition to the Campaign.  Their team has just recently started putting out ads and shooting back against the attack ads from the Burke Campaign. 

I think the race will be close, but I think the polling numbers are showing a one sided race early where Walker was able to maintain a razor thin margin even while the Democrat had the help of a biased multi-year attack with multiple John Doe Investigations dragging Walker through the mud and Mary Burke was able to campaign without any counter attacks from Walker.

I think Walker will win re-election and I would be pretty surprised if the margin is less than 7 points.
