I didn't know there were that many black people in Wisconsin.

The one who thought Barrett would be his successor if he died didn't even know that his running mate would be the next governor if they kill him as they seem to want to do.

Actually it is something I feel sorry for people about. I wonder if the guy from the Breitbart film could have been the community organizer from these kids' neighborhood. He threatened to bash the head of a supervisor at a polling place on the floor. Sounds a lot like these people???.

The most far-reaching result of this election, aside from the public-sector unions being told what the people in Wisconsin thnk of them, is that other governors in other states who want to similarly put the unions in their place will now know that they CAN do it; and that all the massive media coverage plastering quick and painful defeats for the conservatives all over the airwaves, is just so much hot air they won't need to worry about.

Basically, now we have seen that the public-sector unions and their friends in the media, are a minority who is on the opposite side from the normal citizens of the state, even if the media tries to tell us otherwise.

Now they don't have the money to help Obama as he hoped they could when he failed to help the Dems in this one.

I guess in your thinking the little people managed, through organization, to outbid the unions. Is that right?

An obvious way of looking at the exit polls is that the rich won and the poor lost. It's more complicated than that - I would love to know how people earning $8/hr voted - but the big picture is that Walker won on the votes of those with above-average incomes.

Correct, nothing went wrong here democracy prevailed and the majority of the people voted to retain Walker in office..
I live a long way from Wisconsin so the immediate outcome doesnt affect me but those in Wisconsin that voted for Walker can look forward to the outcome being an endorsement for less/no unions, less in the way of workers rights,more people making minimum wage,less social programs and a general overall decline for the middle class.
Democracy in action,enjoy.
