Despite the scores of millions of dollars pumped into to Wisconsin to recall Republican state office holders, common sense has prevailed.
As reported at the reference:
MADISON, Wis. Republicans held onto control of the Wisconsin Senate on Tuesday, beating back four Democratic challengers in a recall election despite an intense political backlash against GOP support for Gov. Scott Walker's effort to curb public employees' union rights.With this affirmation of the GOP brand, party leaders can move ahead with confidence in their effort to end Barack Obama’s presidency and restore a GOP majority status in the Senate.
Fueled by millions of dollars from national labor groups, the attempt to remove GOP incumbents served as both a referendum on Walker's conservative revolution and could provide a new gauge of the public mood less than a year after Republicans made sweeping gains in this state and many others.
Two Democratic incumbents face recalls next week, but even if Democrats win those they will still be in the minority.
Turnout was strong in the morning and steady in the afternoon in communities such as Whitefish Bay, Menomonee Falls and Shorewood, where Sen. Alberta Darling was one of the four Republicans to hold onto her seat.”
On to 2012!
