According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (the nationally-recognized standard) Wisconsin lost 23,000 jobs in 2011, the worse state in the national (every other state posted equality or gains)
The newspaper article you posted listed 39,000 jobs lost via different method. And then a method used by Walker alone to show that everyone else is wrong, he's really created jobs.
I'll stick with the historical accuracy and common use of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, used nationally and for some time to accurately quantitate job losses in all states.

Fact is that if the political climate was better the job creation would be higher. If the democrats didn't waste all the money, time, etc on the recalls then we would have higher job creation. Fact is that the democrats stopped the mining bill and prevented more job creation. Fact is Tom Barrett has done nothing to create jobs (well he does want a Streetcar).

Those are opinion. Not fact. There is a difference, you know.

Fact is the democrats and you are hoping that the state fails under Walker at all costs (even to the detriment of the working people).

I can't speak for "the Democrats" (and either can you) but no, I do not hope Wisconsin fails.
IMO, the Walker adminstration has been already been a disaster for Wisconsin, and the fail exists now: lying, budget overruns, union busting, job loss.
I am working hard to help contribute to his recall be effective, and for Walker to be voted out of office.

Your logic is that a survey is better than cold hard facts.
Oh yeah new poll shows Walker's lead getting bigger. Based on your logic we don't need to even hold the recall election since the polls show Walker is ahead by 6 points.

What "survey" are you referring to? What "logic"?
I mentioned is that Walker is ahead of Barrett in the polls now by, at the least, 5 points (range 5-6). That's fact, not "logic". You're just not making sense now.
In honor of your anger and discomfit, I just donated another $50 to Tom Barrett via Act Blue for his ads.
He's five points behind, he needs all the help he can get against Walker's outside oil money and national backers for the ALEC and Koch Brothers agenda. Scott Walker is a liar, and needs to be voted out of office. I am glad there is a historic recall election of this governor, he deserves it. I certainly stand behind my friends and family working hard to do so in Wisconsin. You are free to vote for Walker, and work hard for his re-election.
