Walker and GOP big bucks bought Wisconsin recall election

I'm been hearing this and similar "analyst" of the Walker recall win in Wisconsin. Can someone explain to me how spending 7 times as much as the Democrat effort amounts to buying Wisconsin votes?

Didn't, just sour grapes on the oppositions part.

So will Obama's billion dollars worth of donations invalidate his win in November in liberals eyes?

I don't think it's sour grapes. I suspect people on the left can actually explain how Walker, spending 7 times as much as Barrett, bought the election? I listened to MSNBC, CNN and Huffington Post TV and all of those news outlets mentioned the large sums of money that Walker spent. And I read the comment on at least 10 blogs and forums last night and the general consensus from the left was that Walker bought the election. I'm curious how?

Fred... I don't know. That wasn't what I was asking. Do you know how Walker bought the recall vote last night?

We're talking about an injection of about $21 million

Wisconsin media ought to be thanking Gov. Walker for bringing so many dollars into the state!

Well... I'm glad to find some support for this kind of financial infusion into a state wide campaign, but I still haven't bee given any insight as to why the left is claiming that this 7 to 1 spending levels brought the recall election?

Money talks BS walks, are you 12?

The spread wasn't much different than the original election... I also don't think there were many voters who were ignorant of the differences between the two candidates. Surely the local news combined with the national reporting was more than enough to inform voters... the Republicans just did a "double tap" on Barret, just too make sure.

It will be interesting to see how much the Obama campaign pumps into WI now... and will Barrett bend over backwards to help the president since he was left swinging in the wind?
