A big win indeed! and a message loud and clear sent to the Unions.
I believe so many thought that Barret has this one in the bag, mostly democrats. Damn inspite of all their efforts, smack talk, all talk, money spent, could not help their guy.
The exit polling was obviously not all that great, since it was too close to call from that data and it wasn't close in any way in reality. The fact that voters voted to support Walker, but would also turn right around and support Obama is not logical. Any logical person can see that wouldn't make sense. However, state politics and national politics can be very different. I live in a state like that. This recall election result speaks to the sentiment in the country overall even more tha just in one state.
I have no dog in the Wisconsin fight (I am surprised how many herein believe they do)
If you live in the USA, you have a dog in this fight. This was just the beginning, it will now sweep across the US and the country will begin to heal...
I worked for the government and I agree with making the union "Adjustments".
They have had it too good for far too long. We can't afford to pay those outrageous wages and retirements any longer, and now it's coming to an end...
Good times are here again. Next step, sweep the corruption from the WH..
CNN *after the fact* modified their exit polls to change them from the ridiculous 50/50 number that was initially reported (most likely in an effort to depress Walker turnout and gin up Democrat fraud and turnout).
