That's a shame - still, it cost Walker's team seven times what it cost the other side. I say do it again It's good to make the Koch's spend their money into the economy.

Both sides are going to take 'victory' away from Wisconsin. Walker retained his position (pro Republican view) It cost Walker's Sugar Daddy's a pretty penny to do so. And if they back Walker they'll likely have to spend it again, if not more, in just under 2 years. (Pro Dem view). On the Senate side 3 Republicans held on (pro Republican view) but 1 lost just enough to tip the favor to Dems in the house (pro Dem view). This means Walkers policies aren't going to be a cake walk anymore.

And certainly Walker will claim a mandate with his megear 4% victory margin. (pro Republican view).


@Cecilia,
We used to use Angel Soft, no clue about the company that made it. Once Walker started his Union busing ways and the Koch product list came out we switched to CostCo Generic brand. I continue to review these lists. Though with everything they make it's hard to remember them all. Someone should make a Koch Bros. Product iPhone App.

Amazing, I don't see any laughing at all the millions the unions (local and national) spent on getting rid of Walker, that failed. Problem is for you all, public employee unions are no longer in favor as the tax payers are now earning half what the public employees are getting yet they are the ones who have to pay the taxes to keep the public employees earning twice what they are earning. Whyzzat?

This is why FDR hated the idea of public employee unions. He knew once the public looked at public employees and realized that they were earning more then what the tax payer was earning, it would be down hill for the Democrat Party since they are joined at the hip with unions.

I come up with just short of $14M that the unions and such raised for this recall. Walker didn't spend 7x (or $98M) in defending himself. What a pure disaster this has been for the Progressives/Unions.

Are the cuts retro-active? Seems like what we're saying here is that contracts can be abrogated if voters say so. Sounds like an interesting precedent.

I don't see how you got that from the link you posted.
