Wisconsin in 2012 may be the place the Unions broke their teeth going against economic sanity.

"Gov. Walker got 626,538 votes in his May 8 uncontested recall primary"

He wasn't uncontested...why is the truth so difficult for "journalists"?

Need to change the motto of Wisconsin to “The Union Attitude Adjustment State.” Now a bunch more need to see the light and get on board. As Barack Obama is now taking credit for the saying, “Change takes time.”

I have a solution.

Make Michigan and Illinois the only states that encourage or condone union labor; then offer every union thug to either relinquish and denounce union membership or move there.

Scott Walker = The kind of Republican this country needs.

Mitt Romney = The kind it doesn’t.

Wisconsin should put a surtax on wages paid to union execs to recoup costs of the recalls.

Here is what Wisconsin voters have to look forward to if they choose the unions over Walker.

This would be a great thing to slap The Won with! A bumper sticker that reads, "Change takes time? It didn't in Wisconsin."

From what I was expecting, it seems like the auto-deduction of dues from people’s paycheck ending is a tremendous cash injection into WI economy.

No liberal can honestly appraise this situation and continue to live with itself. There ought to be an econ class documenting this within the next year or so.

Okay, Falk did not carry Dane county. Why?

One reason, the suburbs north of Madison are not moonbat
country. I must say I was surprised she did so poorly, especially in Dane county. With all the money she had,
I thought the election would be closer.

>>Okay, Falk did not carry Dane county. Why?<<

I think the Dems generally decided to vote for the candidate that was polling the best against Walker. The union issue is not working out the way they planned; it’s now Walker’s issue, not the Dem’s.

By the way, while Walker outpolled Barrett and Falk combined, it’s even a little better than that. A lot of us voted for Falk instead of Walker because we wanted Falk to be the candidate since she was polling weaker than Barrett. It was an open primary, so we could vote in either the Dem or Rep primary.

I would guess, and it’s purely a guess, that at least 10% of Falk’s votes came from Republicans (mine included.) Virtually all of those votes are going to shift to the Republican side of the ballot in June. That would be a swing of 40-50,000 votes if my 10% guess is correct.

God bless and protect Scott Walker - he has offered up a beautiful contrast between Conservatism and Liberalism, in real time.
