megyn: michael graham is a radio host with wtkk fm and columnist for the boston herald, and alan colmes of the alan colmes show. >> hi. megyn: hi, guys. those are, apparently, both on sunday. one was in the morning, one was in the afternoon. in the morning it was this is an opportunity to have a dry run, the democrat's going to run, gives us a chance to test run our grassroots operation, and she also, the committee also sent out saying of all the elections we're preparing for in 2012, one of the most important ones is in wisconsin. then in the afternoon, it's just an election in wisconsin. why the shift? >> well, come on. we've all had sundays like that. a few too many bloody marys at the brunch. no, i'm kidding. [laughter] i used to run campaigns. when you have a special election that goes one way, it's a bellwether. when it goes the other way, meaningless. making voters vote seven times in one year which is what they've done with this nonsensical recall thing, it's going to leave people so alienated that it will have an impact in november. if president obama loses wisconsin, mitt romn
