Now, we see why Mr. Hope-and-Change kept his sorry behind away. Walker is the FIRST to survive a recall election.
LT. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch keeps her job, too.
CNN just called it, too.
-
Note that while Fox and CNN reported it as Walker winning, MSNBC's headline goes "WI GOV. Recall Fails".
Better yet, Baby Girl is breaking it down on Fox News. Meanwhile, Lawrence O'Donnell is blubbering about Citizens United and all the other canned excuses for this beating.
-
The unions got crushed!
-
Going to be a lot of crying over this one.
-
Good! 8)

A correction: MSNBC is doing the replay of Lawrence O'Donnell. So, the blubbering hasn't started....YET!!

I like how it's "narrow" when he's up 17%+ with over 50% of precincts reporting. Anything to soften the hook to the jaw the MSM/union alliance took tonight.
The far-left got crushed tonight.

Walker's had 1 and 1/2 years.
Wisconsin's economy is one of the worst in the country, jobs suck...
Walked got his way on unions - and it didn't cure anything.
2/3 of the $ in this campaign came from outside the state - and we all know he with the money wins elections 94% of the time (Hi, romney GOP winner).
SO really, this is a case of wisc voters being stupid and easily swayed by an assload of $. Theeir economy will continue to suck. Walker's "WIN" ensures things continue to suck. Bravo.

Again. UE declined, budget deficit turned into surplus, over 30k jobs added. Wisconsin voters were not stupid, nor easily swayed by money. You are confusing them with obamanuthuggers.

By the way, Walker is the first governor in WI history to survive a recall.
HEHEHEHEH!!! Dems and their stupid supporters must be contemplating suicide.

tsunami and landslide coming in November like we have never seen.

maybe. and maybe cain never did anything inappropriate in 43 years. And maybe zimmerman didn't tell a single lie.
wisconsin is still going to be among the last in the nation in jobs in another 2 years. Way to go, buying walker another 2 years.

Yea, Walker spent over 60 million dollars compared to 5 million from his opponent and outside money. He basically pulled a Romney

Walker inherited a 3.6 billion dollar deficit. Teachers were getting let go left and right for not having tenure. Mass layoffs (public sector). Walker balanced the budget and there's surplus without layoffs. BEFORE HE took office, Wisconsin lost more than 150,000 jobs between 2008 and 2010.

In 94% of political elections in America, the one who spends the most money wins.
He won by buying it. Nothing wrong with that. But bragging about it is silly. Imagine Romney saying "hahaha, I outspent Santorum 6-to-1, I'm awesome..."
In this cause, incumbent Walker outspent the Dem by a 12-to-1 ratio. That's nothing to brag about. That's pretty sad, to be honest.

They're bragging because their republican outspent another repub by 12-to-1. Oh, wow. Sad.

HEHEHEHEH!!
It is ridiculous to imply that WI voters are idiots who were influenced by Walker's campaign spending. Dems like to argue that Republicans think the voting base are full of morons. Yet, look at who is insulting the voters now.

Not really!! One, the left spend MILLIONS on their union goons last year.
Two, spending money is not necessarily an indicator of victory. Just ask the gay "marriage" supporters.

what am I spinning? As I've said, walker is douche-y. He considered using staged VIOLENCE in protests - admitted in his own words- using violence and fear to politically win. Some call that by another name.
So I dont like the dude. But I also don't really cry for the bedwetting lobby-occupying people crying about it either.
Oh, and whoever exaggerated their cleanup costs - also a douche.
So I dont' care much here, to be all that honest. I haven't chimed in on a walker thread in a while.

Great ::)
Another swift move from a loser... something just happened down at Barrett headquarters. Apparently ONE OF BARRETT'S SUPPORTERS SLAPPED him after his concession speech (for saying we will work together now).

inside job move to win him favor among the victimhood types in both parties.
He should have punched the slapper about 15 times and walked away calmly. Now it'll be "despite the viscious attack, I persevere in my beliefs that we must work together..."
This becomes bigger than the walker win - it's the dem victimhood at work. Sheesh.

He didn't have to STAGE ANYTHING! There was violence. Shit, they were even targeting his kids and wife (still living in Milwaukee until school was/is out).
Where was it exaggerated about the clean up costs? Did you SEE the mess they made of the capitol squatting there 24/7?
-
again, what did I spin? wisconsin's numbers suck. they sucked before. he's balanced the budget but they still are 50th or thereabouts on job losses, right?
I dont know what i'm spinning, dude. clarify please, so i can admit i'm owned or i can argue. This point is about the BUDGET, which walker did great on. But JOBS? Not so good.

Just wait until the OFFICIAL numbers are posted by the feds. The numbers will be / are based on jobs count, not a survey. 8)
Unemployment is at it's lowest since 2008.

WTF??
Doesn't matter what side you're on or even if you don't have a side. This recall election should've never taken place.
There were no grounds for it, no malfeasance or misconduct. No corruption, no broken laws, no scandal, no crimes committed. Just a bunch of whiners who don't like the policies of the (2010) ELECTED official(s).

No More Excuses - the WI recall hand grenade has exploded in Democrats' hands
The American Spectator ^ | June 6, 2012 | Ross Kaminsky
Posted on June 6, 2012 6:25:23 AM EDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Frustrated union and Democratic Party leaders from Madison,Wisconsin, to Washington,D.C., while wiping the Badger State recall election bloodbath from their shoes, are bombarding the nation with excuses, mitigating circumstances, and outright denial of their own declining reality.
A leading excuse emanating from Democrats everywhere, not least from the Wisconsin Democratic Party which is still stinging from President Barack Obama's refusal to campaign for their man, is that the campaign of the past and future governor, Scott Walker, substantially outraised and outspent his Democrat challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
It is true that Walker received more financial support, including from outside the state, than Barrett did. But the lesson to learn is not the truism that money can impact elections; it is that Republicans, conservatives, capitalists, and perhaps even a few libertarians were willing and able to match, and then outmatch the famously deep pockets of Big Labor. Republicans were every bit the equal of Democrats in grassroots organizing, in passion for their candidate, and in influencing independent voters without whom the margin of victory would not have been possible.
.....Despite the brave words of Jay Carney and his Oompa Loompas in the low-ratings arm of the news media, this election portends grave danger for Barack Obama's reelection. Beyond prying open the wallets of pro-liberty activists, Democrats and their supporters made a historic strategic error in forcing this recall.
By doing so, they forced the RepublicanParty, which in 2008 nominated as their presidential candidate a man who admitted publicly that he was computer-illiterate while Obama bombarded us on Facebook and with text messages, into the 21st century. With improved organizing, data acquisition and management, and get-out-the-vote efforts, all of which were substantial tactical advantages for the Obama campaign nearly four years ago, the recall hand grenade has exploded in Democrats' hands....

A Recall the Left Would Rather Forget
Posted By Arnold Ahlert On June 6, 2012 @ 12:47 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 9 Comments
On Tuesday, Republican Governor Scott Walker handily defeated Democrat Tom Barrett, and Republican Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch did the same against Democrat Mahlon Mitchell. Both triumphed by nine-point margins amidst heavy voter turnout. Thus, the first state that allowed collective bargaining for government employees beginning in 1959 has come full circle. Walker’s victory is a repudiation of government unions that have strained state budgets across the nation, and may mark the first step towards bringing the nation back to fiscal sanity.
Tuesday was not without drama. Democrats accused Walker proponents of cheating, contending that calls were being made telling people if they’d signed the recall, they didn’t need to vote. State Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) sent a letter to Government Accountability Board Director Kevin Kennedy requesting an investigation into “such persons that are committing election fraud and misdemeanor crimes by their individual or group communications.” On the other side, an alleged Michigan resident calling himself Mike phoned into WMAL’s The Chris Plante Show claiming that Michigan’s “Democrat Unions” had organized a convoy of 4 buses, filled with Michigan Democrats who intended to illegally vote for Tom Barrett. And according to Election Protection, a D.C.-based voters rights group, hundreds of voters called a hotline to complain about being asked for photo ID even though it wasn’t required for this election, and about difficulty voting due to a new 28-day residency requirement in the state.
The days immediately preceding the election were equally colorful. Bernadette Gillick, a University of Minnesota professor, accused Walker of fathering a love child with her college roommate, a woman called “Ruth” to protect her identity. Walker denied the allegation calling it “horrific” and “ridiculous.” More importantly, so did “Ruth” in a subsequent interview with the WCMC. “I can confirm that it was not Scott Walker who is my daughter’s father,” she said. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online ”Watchdog” reporter Daniel Bice corroborated the denial, further noting that Ruth believes “Dr. Gillick is mixing up stories.” Bice also checked Wisconsin’s Consolidated Court Automation Programs (CCAP) and discovered “it has taken a family court suit involving Scott Alan Walker and mixed it up with the governor, Scott Kevin Walker.” Despite such an obvious debunking, the story remained posted on left-leaning blogs as the latest reason to oust the Governor.
In another telling development, the United States Department of Justice announced Monday that they would be monitoring election returns in the various locales around the country, including the city of Milwaukee, to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Milwaukee is Wisconsin’s largest city and Democrats believed a large turnout in the city where Barrett beat Walker by almost 50 points in 2010 would be the key to an upset victory.
Many critics were skeptical regarding the DOJ’s seemingly newfound interest in protecting the integrity of the voting process. They cited U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s indifference to two New Black Panther Party members intimidating voters in Philadelphia in 2008, his lawsuits challenging voter ID requirements in Texas and South Carolina despite validation of voter ID by the U.S. Supreme Court, and DOJ’s latest attempt to prevent Florida from cleaning up their voter rolls.
But by mid-evening Tuesday, none of the gamesmanship mattered. The margin of Walker’s victory was large enough that any attempt to challenge it is doomed to fail.
Ironically, the election may have been the smaller part of a much bigger story. Government unions in Wisconsin have already experienced a precipitous membership fall off after the reforms Mr. Walker and the then-Republican-controlled legislature enacted went in effect. One union in particular, the Wisconsin branch of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) saw its membership decline by more than half, from 62,818 in March 2011, to 28,745 in February, according to a person who has viewed AFSCME’s figures. A small number of that decline was attributed to worker layoffs. Yet it is very likely that reform eliminating automatic dues collection was the critical factor here. And AFSCME was not alone: 6,000 of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) 17,000 Wisconsin members quit as well.
Thus, the long-standing idea that union bosses represent the interests of their members has been dealt a severe blow. It is a blow that has national implications as well. The hundreds of millions of dollars union leaders have spent on political campaigns are overwhelmingly amassed from mandatory dues collections. Dues that can no longer be taken for granted in Wisconsin–with more states likely to follow.
A de facto union monopoly was broken in Wisconsin as well. WEA Trust, a health insurance company created by the state’s largest teachers union in 1970, was routinely gouging its members for health insurance, because union contracts insisted that it provide insurance to most of the state’s school districts. Prior to reform, coverage for single-employees was $734 for schools with WEA Trust, and $614 for schools that contracted with other companies. Reform eliminated unions’ ability to advocate for WEA Trust, allowing schools to contract with other companies. As a result, WEA Trust has been forced to significantly lower its prices to remain competitive. The reduction allowed the Appleton school district to save $3 million per year. Since Wisconsin has hundreds of school districts, hundreds of millions of dollars in savings could eventually be realized. Add to the mix a $3 billion budget deficit that has been eliminated, a dropping unemployment rate now sitting below the national average, and lower property taxes, and it is clear the efforts of Scott Walker and state Republicans who were handed control in the 2010 election have made their mark.
The people of Wisconsin now seem to have validated those reforms as well, and the margin of victory for both Walker and Kleefisch exceeded even the most optimistic polling data in their favor. In addition, all four GOP Senators also facing recalls triumphed over their Democratic opponents — by large double-digit margins in each case. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) beat Lori Compas (D-Fort Atkinson) in the 13th Senate District; Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) beat Sen. John Lehman (D-Racine) in the 21st Senate District; Sen. Terry Moulton (R-Chippewa Falls) beat Rep. Kristin Dexter (D-Eau Claire) in the 23rd Senate District; and Rep. Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) defeated Rep. Donna Seidel (D-Wausau) for Pam Galloway’s seat in the 29th Senate District. Galoway opted to quit rather than face a recall election. As a result, the state Senate remains evenly split 16-16.
It will be interesting to see if such a resounding victory at every level carries over to the presidential election in November. Barack Obama won the state handily in 2008. As of now, Wisconsin can no longer be taken for granted by Democrats. Neither can the long-standing and insidious practice of union campaign contributions going to politicians who kowtow to union demands in return.
In other words, for those Americans interested in limited and fiscally responsible government that represents the peoples’ interests, Wisconsin is a harbinger of many things to come.

Almost forgot to mention that a Republican ran as a Democrat on the ballot to water down the vote...
The opposite of that happens in Illinois every single election for anything. Doesn't make it right, but I chuckled when I saw that.
In Illinois you get to vote for the Democrat, the Democrat running as the serious Republican candidate who is also backed by Democrat money or the actual Republican who has no chance. And often times there isn't even a real Republican to vote for or anyone else for that matter.
But our great state is in fine shape, thank you very much.

Big Labor's Big Boo-Boo
By C. Edmund Wright
Wow. Where to start?
The "it's gonna be a late night in Madison" notion was virtually over by the end of Happy Hour -- which no doubt did cause some very late nights instead in Washington and Chicago. With little or no happiness at all. And naturally there were also the comparisons to the vibes of the night Scott Brown took down the Kennedy seat in 2009. More on both of these dynamics shortly.
The real story is: what happened this spring in Wisconsin was not a recall election at all. Pure and simple, it was a mulligan. A childish do-over. Moreover, it was a battle of government union members and their families against pretty much everyone else. And when that really crystallized in the minds of the voters, the unions' cause was doomed. The name Tom Barrett is irrelevant here. The biggest losers last night -- and there were many -- were big labor generally and public service unions specifically.
Succinctly put, the petty, protected, pampered lefty government unions -- still indignant over Scott Walker's 2010 win -- simply threw a 75 million dollar tantrum as a third do over on that same election. And the unions' reward from the citizens of Wisconsin for a year and a half of hell was a resounding "go to hell" of epic proportions. And if anyone doubts that there is a God -- and that He has a sense of humor -- the Wisconsin State Motto is, yep, "Forward."
You can't make this stuff up.
Making stuff up, however, is what the entire leftist media-Democratic Party complex is doing today, blaming everything and everyone from the Citizens United decision, voter fraud, a bogus robo-call, George Bush -- and probably even Brett Favre. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell even pretended the election did not happen, focusing on Mitt Romney's job creation record in Massachusetts instead. It's all very funny. And satisfying.
Now the losers:
Big Labor: Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell didn't want to admit it on Fox, but big labor was absolutely the huge loser last night and in fact, they have been losing ever since Walker took office. It was the behavior of the unions in the Madison riots that really started the general public's focusing in on just how much these "public servants" are now making in salaries, pensions and health care, and how damned entitled they feel to all of this. That is what started all of this mess. The public was also tuned in to the unseemly nature of public sector unions per se and their relationship with politicians they get elected. And perhaps most devastating of all is the fact that some government unions in Wisconsin have lost over half of their own membership during this protracted battle. And oh by the way, public sector unions started in Wisconsin. In 1959.
Democratic Party: It goes without saying that if big labor loses, the Democratic Party loses. Actually, we have Wisconsin to thank that this now goes without saying. The past 21 months have been a highly visible object lesson for all to see. Moreover, the Democrats have lost much of their built in fund raising via the union mechanism thanks to some of Walker's reforms.
MSM and their exit polling: As 9pm EDT rolled around last night, all media outlets were buzzing with word that the exit polls were 50-50 and Ed Schultz was settling in "for a long night." He had no idea at the time. These exit polls excited the same fantasies that these same media outlets had been feeding that "the race was tightening" in the final week. Actually, it was not tightening at all. One thing the exit polls showed was that almost everybody who voted had long made up their minds. And why not? You're either on the gummint gravy train or your're not. What's to decide? How this escaped the geniuses in the media is another story. But they lost last night in a big way.
Obama: This one is a no brainer, and was pretty much obvious when he decided to avoid Wisconsin this week like yellow in the game Twister. But it goes deeper than that. His failure to do more than send a last minute Twitter message in support of Barrett has to rankle the unions, who have in the past done so much to get Obama and other Democrats elected. Looking ahead to November, their coffers are depleted, and enthusiasm for giving money to Obama, manning phone banks, and canvassing drives has to diminish not just in Wisconsin but beyond.
GOP Establishment: Setting Reince Preibus aside for a second, the GOP Establishment took a bit of a whipping last night -- because Walker is exactly the kind of Republican the establishment constantly warns us is poison for the party. Preibus gets a lot of grief because he is RNC Chair and they normally deserve it . But Preibus was key to Walker's first win as well as Senator Johnston's defeat of Russ Feingold in 2010. We can only hope that now Preibus will have more cred in the halls of the RNC offices inside the Beltway.
Gop Consultants / Conventional Wisdom See above, but the consultant class deserves their own space in the biggest loser category. They have cost us many elections over the decades, and last night was a huge blow to their entire foundational template. This may be Walker's biggest gift of all to conservatives.
Bipartisanship / No Labels Crowd: The stunning vitriol and passion in this election, along with the results of the recent Pew Research findings, have dealt the notion of "getting along" and bipartisanship a huge blow. Actually, reality is the problem with bipartisanship. This is a nation divided on the role of government and government unions and all of the attendant spending and control in our lives. Many of us knew that already. Those that didn't surely should now, after seeing the last 21 months unfold in Madison and after perusing the Pew results as well.
Julia: The entire nanny state government dependency mindset -- as demonstrated by the Obama 2012 cartoon character Julia -- took a big whipping last night as well. The folks who pay for all of the government union members and for all of the Julias had a collective awakening and said enough is enough. If there's another installment of Julia, and I suspect there will not be, she would be very unhappy watching MSNBC in last night's episode.
Now, as pleasing as this result is, this is not an indication that Mitt Romney can necessarily come rolling into Wisconsin and win. While Walker, his Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and several State Senators won last night, surveys indicate that even in this environment Romney would have lost. Besides, rarely has Romney shown the cojones on any issue that Walker has shown consistently.
Which brings us to the contrast with the Brown win in 09. The Walker win is even sweeter and more significant. Scott Brown campaigned on tea party principles, and while avoiding the term celebrated those principles in his victory speech. But he has not always voted that way -- and will run against Princess Warren as a moderate.
Scott Walker meanwhile campaigned outwardly as a tea party type in 2010, governed that way absolutely -- campaigned again as a tea party candidate this year -- and won an even bigger victory. Now, in his speech last night, Walker said that "he's committed to working together" and to is determined to "put this election behind us." Of course he was sounding the obligatory good winner attitude, as he should have. We all know better. The liberals, their unions, their President, their media -- all have to be defeated because there is no working with them.
And last night, we did. Soundly.

Posted on Wednesday, June 06, 2012 7:15:52 AM by PJ-Comix
Normally the one DUmmie who tries to maintain a sense of equilibrium in the midst of bad news is Head DUmmie Skinner. But not this time. The CRUSHING defeat last night in the Wisconsin recall election was too much even for him as you can tell by the profane primal scream title of his THREAD, "F*CK." Yes, as you can see Head DUmmie Skinner DUmmie loses it and, most entertainingly, so do the rest of the DUmmmies. So let us now watch0 the DUmmies go Primal Scream over the Wisconsin recall election results in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, harvesting the comedy gold DUFU nuggets generated by the recall, is in the [brackets]:
F*CK.
[Screeched Head DUmmie Skinner helplessly at the cold, cruel world.]
Double f*ck. <"> p>
[Echoed another DUmmie in the thralls of helpless rage.]
Sounds like they're getting more brazen and couldn't care less if it looks like they cheated.
[Yes, those preset Diebold machines are nice.]
Those figures make no sense
[When the shock wears off we'll place you on Suicide Watch.]
Sounds like the fix is in. There is no way Milwaukee and Madison could have already been counted.
[Count me highly entertained.]
I know. This is the New America. We're doomed.
[Suicide Watch for you too, DUmmie.]
WHAT?! Already?! SO DEPRESSING. I'm f*cking sick.
[Three is NOT a crowd when it comes to the WI recall Suicide Watch.]
This is f*cking hard to take
[Think of it as a practice run for November.]
The noose just gets tighter every time they regain power. I can hardly breathe.
[Make it easier on yourself and just stop trying.]
I am officially depressed.
[I am officially entertained.]
It's not even close. F*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck!
[Ha ha ha ha!]
. We all were watching Al Sharpton and Ed Shultz and they had us pumped to win.
[And you actually believed those frauds which makes me laugh.]
I know. I'm crushed. I feel SO BAD.
[Have you tried electro-shock therapy or do we need to go the lobotomy route?]
What were they saying? June 5th 2004, ronald reagan died.
[Win another one for The Gipper!]
It may be worse in November.
[As well as even FUnnier.]
NOOO NOOO NOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO
[SOOO SOOO SOO SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUnnie!]
We needed more national help.
[Hey! Didn't you notice Obama barely lift his finger to tweet in his help?]
I don't think anything we can do will change what is going to happen to this country come November. It's bought and paid for...
[All you can do know is meekly lean forward, drop your pants, and grab your socks as we barcode butt brand you for your Walmart Detention Center processing.]
I've worked hard for Barrett. I'm devistated, along with so many others tonight.
[Boo hoo! Cry me a river into the DUmmie hankie.]
Paper ballots should be used in ALL elections !!!
[How about photo IDs?]
Barrett campaign says it won't concede Wisconsin recall race to Walker yet, citing ongoing voting
[This DUmmie is about to have a gigantic letdown.]
And the DLC idiots in control of the DNC just sat by twiddling thier thumbs.
[And tweeting in their support.]
BULLSHIT!!!! I'm calling bullshit on the results. For there to be a clean Republican sweep with the type of turn out Wisconsin has had. There's no way. All that money and robo-calling and all the other dirty tricks, I think we know who the FRAUDSTERS are. Wonder just how big the f*cking red shift is gonna be? Good for Barrett for not conceding!!!!!
[Another Suicide Watch inductee.]
I wonder if they're using those "smart" voting machines from Diebold. They're so smart, if you vote for the wrong candidate, they just switch it over for ya! Bullshit bullshit BULLSHIT! GodDAMN!!!!!!
[Heads you lose. Tails we win.]
Election was rigged. This is bullshit. 50/50 going into it, yet Walker wins by landslide with unprecedented voter turn-out? Voter turn-out ALWAYS helps Dems. It's bullshit.
[You're going to be VERY ENTERTAINING this November.]
I give up. They've broken me.
[Good. So no resistance from you while we barcode butt brand you for Walmart Detention Center processing.]
I'm drinking wine tonight. This is very disappointing.
[Chateau Thunderbird?]
WTF??? I'm checking out of reality....
[...And checking into the Walmart Detention Center.]
You win some and lose some but losing this big really hurts. Unions for state employees will be dismantled state by state now.
[And your minds are being dismantled as well.]
we're scrooooowed.
[First wait for Ben Burch to arrive.]
Throw me in the dungeon and throw away the key.....
[But first you must lean forward for your barcode butt branding.]
I . do. not. understand. what . happened.
[You. lost. bigtime.]

Obama Campaign Spins: Wisconsin Loss 'Won't Tell Us Much' About November Election
by Dana Loesch
The Obama campaign was eager to spin the massive Wisconsin loss into some sort of win for themselves tonight. The talking point they settled on was that the defeated public unions sent a "strong message" to the victorious Governor.
The Obama campaign — which has largely kept President Obama himself out of the Wisconsin recall election — puts out a statement saying that a message had been sent to Gov. Scott Walker, despite his win.
Yes, the Obama campaign sent a message to Walker, alright: we lose, consistently.
This is the third time the Obama-backed left in Wisconsin has tried to usurp the will of the voters, and they failed. Hard. Walker won 36% of Wisconsin's union households, which isn't surprising, considering how workers reacted when emancipated from forced dues.
The Democrats went from inflated confidence ("This is a dry run for November ... they'll see our organization efforts") to this:
"I know the president is aware of the election. I think he's got some other responsibilities," Carney said. "I know that he's not following it minute by minute ... You know that he tweeted about it earlier.
Reince Priebus said tonight on CNN that "President Obama left Democrats at the altar in Wisconsin." They're spinning hard in the hopes you'll forget that.

Ignore the spin: Wisconsin was a disaster for Democrats and President Obama
Daily Caller ^ | 06/05/2012 | Thomas Grier
Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 11:51:51
If you pause and listen carefully, you might be able to hear the despair coming from Jim Messina, President Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, and David Axelrod, Obama’s top strategist and communications director, as the meaning of Wisconsin’s recall election becomes clear.
In the final hours before Governor Scott Walker’s victory, with the writing on the wall, President Obama and his campaign could only muster a tweet and a last-minute video for challenger Tom Barrett. But do not let that tepid support fool you: Democrats and their union allies spent an astronomical amount on a judicial election, four state legislative recalls and the recall of Governor Walker, only to lose.
The spin has already begun. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the Wisconsin recall election “probably won’t tell us much about a future race.” Regardless of what you hear, the results are a colossal failure for Democrats and President Obama’s re-election efforts. Even former Pennsylvania governor and Democratic National Committee chairman Ed Rendell, speaking on MSNBC last week, said the recall election was a “mistake.”
Democrats, Big Labor and Team Obama initially put all their chips on the table, organizing a massive get-out-the-vote effort to unseat Walker. The day before the recall, Wisconsin’s MacIver Institute illustrated just how much money Big Labor has spent: more than $21 million. Earlier in the month, the MacIver Institute put up a matrix to “put an end to any stories that Big Labor, the Democratic Party and other left-wing organizations aren’t going all out to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.” The spin aside, Team Obama, Big Labor and Democrats were heavily invested and suffered a huge loss in Wisconsin.
The recall sums up a season of abject failure for Democrats in Wisconsin. Since taking office in January 2011, Governor Walker has pushed for audacious spending cuts, comprehensive improvements to public-employee union benefits and the most agitating reform to the union monolith: lasting changes to Wisconsin’s collective bargaining laws.
Democratic legislators responded by childishly fleeing the state in order to prevent a quorum in the State Senate, while the Republican majority assured passage of Walker’s budget. After weeks of wringing their hands over their absent colleagues, the Republicans found a way to pass Walker’s budget.
In response, the left tried to invalidate Walker’s reforms by attempting to alter the composition of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Liberals organized a “record setting” challenge to incumbent Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser. Prosser’s challenger, ultra-progressive JoAnne Kloppenburg, was the left’s answer to all their union reform problems. The total cost of the race between Prosser and Kloppenburg topped $3 million. In the end, Prosser won re-election and Walker’s reforms were upheld.
The Democrats’ war on Governor Walker and Wisconsin Republicans continued, with groups organizing the recall of four state senators in an attempt to recapture the Wisconsin Senate and block Walker’s reforms. In their attempt to take back the Wisconsin Senate, Democrats and their backers spent $23.4 million, with outside groups spending $18.6 million against Republicans. But the attempt failed and Republicans triumphed.
Now, Democrats have lost yet another high-profile Wisconsin race. With this string of events taking place in a state that has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984 and is considered the birthplace of modern progressivism, Republicans must be starting to like their chances in November. Once considered an unassailable Democratic stronghold, Wisconsin is moving into the almost unthinkable swing-state territory.
As if the wind was not blowing hard enough against Democrats and Team Obama, Governor Walker’s reforms have been a resounding success. Walker cut a $3.6 billion deficit without raising taxes or curtailing state services, and he is expected to create a $150 million budget surplus by the end of the year.
While Barack Obama won Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008, it’s important to remember that George W. Bush came close to winning the state in 2000 and 2004, missing by 0.22 and 0.4 percent respectively. The efforts by Democrats this season have forced Republicans to build a grassroots machine. Their actions have proven to be very successful, pushing the estimated voter turnout to a whopping 60 to 65 percent of all adults. This machine will no doubt be in full operation in November, causing Axelrod’s and Messina’s hearts to flutter.
President Obama and Democrats are in trouble and no amount of Washington spin will change the facts in Wisconsin. Unions had their way for decades, but times change. And this time, it is not just the future of organized labor that is in peril, it is the political future of one of their biggest supporters: President Obama.

The worst night on cable news
By DYLAN BYERS |
6/5/12 10:47 PM EDT
If ever there was a political event to lay bare the partisan ideologies of the cable news media, the Wisconsin recall was it.
MSNBC was blatantly rooting for Tom Barrett to defeat Gov. Scott Walker, even sending union champion Ed Schultz to cover an event with no apologies for the dog he has in the fight. (Earlier tonight, Chris Matthews even told Schultz that if he wasn't an MSNBC host, he could be head of the AFL-CIO.) When it became clear that Barrett would lose, Schultz looked almost teary eyed. Not long after, the network's contributors immediately began suggesting that this was, in fact, good news for Obama — who, after all, hadn't even set foot in Wisconsin — and began attacking Mitt Romney.
(Also on POLITICO: Supporter slaps Barrett after loss)
Meanwhile, Fox News was blatantly rooting for Gov. Scott Walker, and the moment it became clear that Walker might win, host Sean Hannity called it "a repudiation of big unions," which did "everything they could do to demonize Scott Walker." Guest Hugh Hewitt then predicted that, five months from now, Romney would follow Walker just "as Reagan followed Thatcher." Fox's Greta Van Susteren later hosted what amounted to a victory celebration for the Republicans.
Given such blatantly partisan coverage, it was absolutely impossible to watch either network and gain any clear understanding of the actual significance of the event, much less what effect it would actually have on the 2012 presidential election.
Which means it was the perfect night for CNN, the network that bears the slogan "CNN = Politics" and claims to have "the best political team on television," to step up and offer what only it can offer: a semblance of nonpartisan political news coverage.
This is what was happening on the three networks between 9:48 p.m. and 9:51 p.m. tonight, during which NBC called the Wisconsin election for Walker:
Eight minutes later, CNN's Wolf Blitzer interrupted the network's rerun of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to break the news.
CNN has no obligation to cover the Wisconsin recall, and one could argue that CNN doesn't need to break that political news, or spend the 10 o'clock hour speculating on the potential political ramifications of the various outcomes. But I highly doubt that CNN would make that argument.
Remember: This is the network that won the primaries, and gets its best primetime ratings when there's a political race.
The network did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Walker's had 1 and 1/2 years.
Wisconsin's economy is one of the worst in the country, jobs suck...
Walked got his way on unions - and it didn't cure anything.
2/3 of the $ in this campaign came from outside the state - and we all know he with the money wins elections 94% of the time (Hi, romney GOP winner).
SO really, this is a case of wisc voters being stupid and easily swayed by an assload of $. Theeir economy will continue to suck. Walker's "WIN" ensures things continue to suck. Bravo.
Walker inherited a 3.6 billion dollar deficit. Teachers were getting let go left and right for not having tenure. Mass layoffs (public sector). Walker balanced the budget and there's surplus without layoffs. BEFORE HE took office, Wisconsin lost more than 150,000 jobs between 2008 and 2010.
Oh, and btw ~ Wisconsin's unemployment rate is 6.7%
What's the national average? ::)
;)
AND! Our property taxes went down! BTW~ our taxes are one of the highest in the country.
What do you propose another (D) candidate should've done?
Also, the $ gap in campaign funds is grossly misleading. No one is reporting the tens of millions spent by the the other side for the recall effort (ie; out of state workers forging getting petitions signed, the Falk campaign, etc.

Now the lefties on Huffington Post and Democratic Underground are trying to talk smack by yapping about a supposed win in one of the Senate races that would flip the Senate in the Dems' favor.
However, the race hasn't been called yet. The Democrat challenger is up by less than 800 votes and a recount is looming.
To top it all off, the Senate is closed for the rest of the year (barring a special session called by Walker) and by the time it reconvenes, the GOP will have control of the Senate again (assuming they even lost it in the first place) due to a regularly scheduled election in November.

Five Lessons From Big Blue's Wisconsin Disaster
Republicans and Democrats look to November after a dramatic night in Wisconsin.posted Jun 6, 2012 12:29pm EDT

1. Big Blue Loses Big
(Getty Images / Andy Manis)
Here’s the scam that has been going on for decades: Public employee unions demand hefty wage increases. Politicians say: “no way, we’ll have to raise taxes.” Public employee unions say: “okay, we’ll take lower wage increases in return for ever-more generous pension and retiree health benefits.” Politicians say: “that won’t work long term.” Unions say: “that will be someone else’s problem.” Politicians say: “deal.”
Time passes. Longevity increases. Financial crises and slower economic growth cripple pension fund returns. Suddenly “the long term” is today. Unsustainable pension and retiree health benefits begin to wreak fiscal havoc. The Blue Social Model no longer works.
There are two ways to fix this problem. The first is political. The second is to let the markets decide who gets what. Voters in California and Wisconsin last night chose the political option. They voted to reduce pension benefits in San Jose and San Diego, California (the 8th and 10th largest cities in the US) and they voted to affirm Governor Scott Walker’s assault on the bargaining power of public employee unions.
Ross Douthat has a big picture column on this today at the New York Times, which is useful. Managing the collapse of the Blue Social Model is now the central issue in municipal, state and county governance.
2. Big Blue Can’t Even Get a Tobacco Tax Done In California

Everyone knows that California is broke. Tax revenues are so weak that the state recently announced that its projected budget deficit would explode from $9 billion to $16 billion.
What to do? Raise easy taxes! What are easy taxes? Cigarette taxes! Specifically, raise the tax on each pack of cigarettes sold in the state by one dollar. On the ballot it went. Down it went, 51-49%. No easy taxes for you Sacramento!
Nothing says Big Blue like California. The fiscal crisis there now grows more acute.
3. The Midnight Tweeter
President Obama kept his distance from the Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election. He did manage to send a last-minute tweet, reiterating his support for Tom Barrett. But that was about it.
Now we know why. Barrett was certain to lose. His support among white voters had collapsed. According to the, ahem, exit poll, roughly 90% of the electorate in Wisconsin yesterday was white. If 90% of the voters in Wisconsin are white in the November general election, Mitt Romney need only win 56% of them to win the state. He wouldn’t need any of the “other” voters at all.
Nationally, when he won the 2008 general election by a wide margin, President Obama garnered 43% of the white vote. That was at the height of his political powers. He’s long since left that perch.
Wisconsin is a toss-up now. The tri-state block of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa (all of which have overwhelmingly white electorates) are in play.
4. Exit Polls
Very conservative voters avoid exit pollsters. When they are the “nth” voter at an exit point, they often decline the opportunity to participate. The next voter is therefore taken. Very conservative voters are therefore under-counted.
Combine this with budget restraints (the exit polling company surveys, arguably, half as many polling “points” as they might otherwise do, just for safety’s sake) and you end up with scores of “analysts” on TV talking nonsense, based on erroneous polling data. The clients of the exit polling company (television networks, newspapers, the AP) need to fix this problem.
5. GOTV

Republican get-out-the-vote operations in Wisconsin were impressive across the state. In the main, Governor Walker ran ahead of his 2010 tallies, county-by-county.
Democratic get-out-the-vote operations were not so impressive, except in Dane and Milwaukee counties, where same-day registration ran up their totals in those Democratic strongholds, considerably.
A Massachusetts political operative named Joe Ricca ran the same- day registration/GOTV operation for the Gore campaign in 2000 and was widely credited with delivering the state to Mr. Gore by a 16,000 vote margin over George W. Bush. Team Obama will be looking for Mr. Ricca. They’ll need every last vote in November.

Democratic leader consoles Wisconsin party after recall
By Brendan O'Brien | Reuters – 9 hours ago
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz rallied Wisconsin Democrats holding their state convention this weekend, urging them to regroup after a failed attempt to recall the state's Republican governor.
Wasserman Schultz said Wisconsin Democrats had been up against "nothing short of an avalanche of secret, out of state, and corporate special interest money" in their bid to unseat Governor Scott Walker, who enjoyed a 7-to-1 financial advantage over his challenger Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

Democrats are a bunch of bitches when they complain about being outspent. The spending gap was more like 2-1 instead of 7-1 when you include the unions. Republicans just wanted this thing more. People in general are bitches when they complain about being outspent, as if it is some unfair advantage or something. The Santorum and Gingrich fucktards did the same thing when Romney was winning the primary. For fucks sake, that money doesnt just fall out of the sky. People have to think you are a worthy candidate in the first place in order to give money to you.

Yep. No complaints when Obama raised and spent an obscene amount of money in 08. Remember the 30 minute infomercials on the eve of the election?
