Latest Poll Shows Walker Extending Lead

If you believe polls, the latest Marquette Poll has Scott Walker taking a 5 point lead on Challenger Mary Burke.

Any lead for Walker has got to have him and his supporters feeling pretty good going into the home stretch of the campaign.

Anyone who remembers, during the recall, the poll had the race between Barrett and Walker at a dead heat.  It was reportedly too close to call going in.  Within an hour of the polls closing it was over, Walker won going away.

I have thought that the race really wasn't going to be that close.  I know the polls have been showing it a tight race and within the margin of error.

I just don't think that Mary Burke even comes close to a viable candidate.  She doesn't have much name recognition and made so many mistakes in the campaign that I will be shocked if it is much of a race.  She hasn't shown the ability to get the Democratic Base fired up and this election will be all about turn out.
