Call me a pessimist but I just don't see the Fleebaggers coming home for that. Keep in mind that these Democrats are very beholden to the unions. One fifth of the campaign contributions the Fleebaggers receive comes from unions. So, if unions are willing to accept give backs and layoffs instead of touching collective bargaining, then I cannot see how a missed deadline will motivate these Fleebaggers.
If Public Policy Polling is correct, this long and drawn out standoff is taking a toll on Walker. I am sure the Fleebaggers are reading this poll as well and will be further motivated to stay away.
Walker should have given this ultimatum on the first day the Fleebaggers fled and then pass the collective bargaining parts of the bill separately without the need for quorum. Once the collective bargaining parts were passed there would be little reason for the Fleebaggers to stay away.
We will have to see how this all plays out, but I see don't see the Fleebaggers coming home.
