KOCHKOCHKOCHKOCH!

You DO know the union/Left/dems outspent the GOP 2-1?

A huge, well-deserved DEFEAT for the unions/Left.

The voters have spoken..for the third time....they are NOT on the Left/unions side.

I've told you before......there is not enough of "them" to withstand the conservative vote, when they have a mind to come out and vote, which obviously they did last night.

A colossal waste of time, effort and money on the part of the unions/Left, but the headlines make it worthwhile......

The democrats FAILED....

And yes, the GOP was outspent 2-1. Check it out.

Not only money, but they had an advantage of bodies on the ground.

Inside the Wisconsin Recall's Massive Get-Out-the-Vote Machine | Mother Jones

A monster defeat.

When will the Left/unions realize the truth?

They are/were blinded by their own propaganda.
All recalls over til Walker's early next year. 9 recalls, all Dems retain their seats, 4 of 6 Repubs retain their seats. Clearly a big win for the Walker crew??

What's significant is how these numbers compare with the numbers with which they were first elected, and how they compare with the party baseline in the respective districts - none of which I know or care to look up.

So these results may be very good for Dems or may be not so good.

Walker's "crew" is on borrowed time. "Buyer's remorse" will work to get rid of Walker in due time. The GOP does not face a bright future in WI. The recall election cut into the GOP and future elections will decimate them even further in that state.

And the Left/unions didn't achieve ANY of their goals - regain the Senate, stop Walker agenda, send a message to the rest of the country.....

Don't think so.

Public Policy Polling: Sentiment moving against Walker recall

Quote:
50% of Wisconsin voters generally oppose a recall of Walker, compared to 47% in favor. Those numbers are flipped from our last statewide poll, in May, which found 50% generally in support of a recall and 47% in opposition.
As more people realize just how well Walker has managed the state, they will come around too.

You can forget about a Walker recall.

I don't know if Walker will be recalled or not. The point is, there now is a Senate that will not just rubber stamp the Koch plans. There are 1or 2 Repub Sens that don't like the Koch assault either.

Republicans though they could get Holperin. His district went for walker and prosser. It is very good for the dems. They got 2 seats out of all these recalls.

Don't worry - after redistricting the GOP majority should increase by 4 or 5 seats in the Senate.

Antime when just recallig is the soul issue most recallers hope that they will win based on who trunsd out.This time it appears that failed i that enough opposed turned out that it made little differences in reality.One has to wander what would happen now if a recall on Obama's election was allowed?
