Wisconsin Race for Governor Comes down to Turnout

The race for Wisconsin Governor continues to be a very tight one.  With most polls showing it either tied or Walker with a slight lead.

There also doesn't appear to be a whole lot of undecided voters in this race.  That means that it will come down to who can turn out their voters the best.

This is where Walker has the edge. 

The polls only show a slight edge in this for Walker, however history shows a much better than edge for Walker.

The Primary should be a very good indicator.  In Democratic stronghold Milwaukee County it was the Republicans who had the turnout.  They turned out for Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke. 

The Democrats pulled out all the stops and dumped record amounts of money into the race to unseat the Sheriff.  However it was the Republicans who came to the Democrats aid.  Wisconsin is a state that requires you to vote either Republican or Democrat in the primary.  With Republicans having little to vote for in the Primary they turned out and voted Democrat and kept the Sheriff safe from his own party.

If the same enthusiasm ensues for the Governor's race in November then Walker should walk away with a good win.
