Scott Walker Recall Election
Tomorrow, June 5, 2012 is the recall election in Wisconsin pitting the current Republican Governor against a Democrat challenger.
This election came about when the Governor tried to limit the power of Unions in the state to help get the state budget under control. There was a massive reaction by organized labor who, along with the other usual liberal Democrat troops, spearheaded a recall effort.
As of tonight most polls show the Governor with a slight lead in retaining his office but so close that really the turnout will probably decide the election.
What do you think is going to happen?
If Walker wins is this a foreshadowing of the fall 2012 elections?
If the Dems / Unions win does this mean the country has crossed the Rubicon and is now a liberal country?

Re: Scott Walker Recall Election
Honestly, I hope Walker loses. My impression of the way he went about doing what he did in Wisconsin is not favorable.

Shocking.
And you stood up for BHO when he created an enemies list.
But won't back Walker when he creates an unfavorable impression.
Think about it JD.

Re: Scott Walker Recall Election
German,
I followed the news closely during all of that and thought he did an amazing job. He was very calm and articulate during animalistic attacks by union thugs climbing through windows at the Capitol, etc.
You ought to dig around and watch and listen to him some. He is a very smart guy and trying to undo the strangle hold public unions and other unions have had on the Wisconsin government which is trying desperately to put its financial house in order.

I read that almost 70% of the union members have drop out of the union since the state stopped collecting the membership dues for the unions. That should be instructive, folks don't care enough for the unions to get the due to them. If Walker wins, other states will use his approach to save the states budgets.

Re: Scott Walker Recall Election
I think as far as Wisconsin goes, if Walker wins it could show that the state is very much in play for Romney in November.
As far as nationwide, I don't think it portends much for November beyond maybe a view to the waning influence of the big unions. I do agree that on a state-by-state basis, a Walker win could encourage other states to take on the unions, as was pointed out earlier in this thread.
