WALKER TAKES WISCONSIN BACK!

Considering the money spent on this election, shouldn't he have had a 70% to 10% margin? lol

This is, of course, a disappointment to liberals. But, I am glad this happened now rather than closer to November. There is still a long road to the election, I just don't see this being a big boost for Romney, but may well help other Republican governors is purple states.

Dem spin, the money bought the election, although many exit polls are saying people voted for Walker because they thought he should get to serve his four years.

The big question, is this just a one-off, or is the TEA Party still a formidable political base?

Check back tomorrow morning, there will be a lawsuit demanding a recount and all kinds of claims from the Donkeys that the election was fixed. If I'm wrong I'll owe you a wooden nickel and a beer or three over the course of the summer.

You are right, this was not about Romney. Nobody likes Romney. This was the complete failure of the progressive agenda. This was the Tea Party taking back America one election at a time.

I am watching Rachel Maddow right now, rofllol .

Were you complaining about this 779 million...

A growing consensus has emerged that the Democratic president, who outraised Republican nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) $779 million to $400 million in 2008, could become the nation’s first politician to raise $1 billion in one cycle.

You have any problems with 1 billion? I didn't think so.

I actually don't think money bought the election (although it didn't hurt)....I do think the Republicans are not getting their money's worth from this election. They probably could have won it with no more than the Dems spent.....but they wanted to make a statement in this election and it may turn out to be a very expensive one. Time will tell if it was money well spent, or they could have better used that money in other races around the nation with more impact....like the senate races.

No... the unions wanted to make a statement in this election. The Republicans in Wisconsin didn't ask for the recall. Remember?

You always have to go back far enough to make it the Dem's fault. OK...I can do that too....it was Walker who wanted to make a statement by attacking the unions and making policy that he had never run on. The dems had every right to ask for a recall since they perceived Walker as a threat to their state. But if you want.....maybe we could take this back to the Mayflower and some dude's reletives who eventually settled in Wisconsin. My point was, in case it was too complicated for you....once the recall election was a fact, the Republicans threw everything but the kitchen sink at it that they had at their disposal. I call that making a statement. But, if it makes you happy, have it your way.

You're right, they did make a statement:
