Scott Walker win in WI?

One election down, one to go?

So what do y'all think?

In my opinion, this is an unmitigated disaster for liberals. Remember, this was their fight, they picked this fight, not the conservatives. Yet they got outspent, outworked, and clobbered in the end.

Does this put WI in play in November? Somehow I don't think so. Yet I cannot imagine how anyone who voted for Scott Walker yesterday would ever, in a million years, vote for Obama.

The lunatics at MSNBC, when not getting their shock treatments, are saying that the election was bought because conservatives spent more money. The question is, why is that? If the democrats and the unions asked for this fight, and all those anarchists "occupied" the capital, why did the GOP raise so much more money?

On a less-publicized note, Can Diego and San Jose (big cities in liberal CA) OVERWHELMINGLY voted to put big limits on union perks.

Scott Walker, like Obama, inherited a mess. Obama tried liberal solutions, Walker tried conservative solutions. Walker has cut unemployment by a full percentage point, and has drastically reduced a multi-billion dollar deficit. Anyone here care anything about facts?

Walker had the nerve to ask union members to pay 12% of the cost of their health insurance. In the private sector, the average employee pays 30%.

How does anyone side with the unions, unless they are in a union? These are insane, antiquated benefits that are bankrupting almost every city and state in the nation.

The tide is turning.

And it's a Mike Tyson-like uppercut to the jaw of Obama. Obama won WI in 2008. In 2010, those people elected Walker, a hard-core conservative. Last night, even more people voted for Walker than in 2010.
