Walker will be unable to put through any more attacks on the middle class or destructive policies. As he stated when he was caught on video kissing the ring of one of his masters, Walker wants to "divide and conquer" the state to completely destroy unions and the middle class.
First it was the teachers, next likely will be police and fire fighters, then all public unions, then the private sector, leading to their ultimate goal of destroying the middle class completely.

The middle class is being destroyed by unions and Democrats. You want to protect the government class, not the middle class. Taxpayers with brains see these union parasites for what they are and are tired of being used by union thugs and paid-off Democrat politicians.

Plus, even if the Democrats win a Senate seat, that doesn't mean the unions will magically regain the 60% membership they lost when the ban on forced union membership ended.

My prediction is that Walker will win tomorrow just barely. And it will mean nothing anyplace but Wisconsin. People saying "oh this spells doom for public employee unions everywhere" need look no further than what happened in Ohio a few months ago when the same law was repealed by voters there. That meant nothing outside Ohio.

The middle class are being destroyed by the far right. The far right hate the middle class, they feel they should be making slave labor wages at best, as all that matters is making sure the richest of the rich are slobbering all over themselves from their greed getting as much money as they possible can.

The taxpayers are sick of the far right's attacks on the middle class, why do you think they were able to pull off the biggest recall effort in the history of the nation? Not to mention the GOP were unable to get a single democratic senator up for recall, not a single one.

Despite what happens tomorrow, I do not think public employee unions are endangered. But they are going to have to recognize a few facts of life beginning with the people that pay their salaries and benefits are hurting. Most of them do not even have a pension much less being asked to contribute a mere 7% to a pension. Same with health care. FREE health care? Who in the hell works in the real world- even in a union gig- and gets FREE health plans? With state and local budgets in the shape they are in, we simply cannot afford lavish pay and benefits that are way out of line with the private sector who, after all, pays the taxes that pay for public employees. I am sorry but Janitors that make $10 an hour in the private sector and have virtually no benefits should not be getting $23 an hour plus free healthcare and a free pension just because they work in a public building.

Conservatives will say "Walker won but a Senator lost". Liberals will say that too.
