You can repeat that til the cows come home. The Left/unions MADE this a Walker referendum. Record turnout from the voters of WI to beat back the humongous effort from the Left. By definition, it says the people of WI support Walker over the unions.
Hey, feel free to consider a .5% win in an election that was supposed to be a 30% cakewalk as a sign that you've completely won and that Republicans can keep being as extreme as they want. Let's see how that plays out in next year's elections.

Please remeber....Walker was elected. Which means that more people support him than do not.
No, it only means that on election day in 2010 he got more votes than any other candidate. And there have been significant events since the election that may suggest that he does not have majority support anymore.

The fact Prosser barely pulled out a race Incumbent Judges very rarely lose, one he didn't even have an opponent for last time around, and one he was expected to win easily by .48% shows this wasn't "supporting Walker"
Apparently, you're willfully ignoring the effect that Walker's stalling the increases in their property tax bills will have on WI taxpayers. The poll you refer to was taken before the WI Legislature's nonpartisan budget office reported that property taxes would increase by less than 1% annually over the next two years under Walker's plan.
It's important to pay attention to the sequence of events in order to not be misled. Or is that too complicated?

I would guess most Wisconsin races don't have this much National media attention...thus the margin was smaller. If that is the case it makes it that much more ridiculous that Klobber claimed victory with a 200 point lead.
The Union wasn't able to push their weight this time. Shocking...I know!
By a seemingly insurmountable lead. Of course, the unions/Left will pressure kloppenberg to go for a recount, even though she has little chance of making up the difference....without massive cheating that is.
Now, remember on election night the DKos nuts thought Prosser should CONCEDE when he was behind by only 204 votes. I wonder what they will say now.
This is great news and totally, completely DEFLATES the cause of the Left/unions.
I can hardly wait to read the concession speeches from all those on here that predicted her winning by a landslide. And how the people of Wisc. were going to throw Walker, and anyone who agreed with him, out on there ears.
I think I'll go back and find some of the predictions. Ought to be fun.
Two republican senators are already on the chopping block to be recalled with more signatures piling in by the day for the others, and the best part having Walker thrown out of office next year in the heat of the presidential political season. 2012 is looking to be a good year for freedom against fascism

you guys can try and spin this any way you want, but in the end the voters will have the last say. dont forget that wisconsin allows people to register to vote, and then vote, on election day. that means that despite the unions great effort to get the vote out, prosser STILL WON THE ELECTION. and if the unions continue to press their failed campaign against walker and the republicans, the voting public in wisconsin will see through it and vote against the unions.
as for the freedom over fascism remark, rubbish. the unions and the democrats are the ones trying to eliminate your rights, not the republicans.
In order to make this partisan the right has to admit that Prosser is Walker's rubber stamper. The integrity of both W and P then comes into question. Perhaps especially as regards a partisan judge- we don't want no dang activist judges!! (unless they're on "our side" of course)
I disagree. It was SUPPOSED to be non-partisan, until the union made it partisan.
