...and he won by a larger margin than 2010 - with a higher voter turnout.
Recall elections are notoriously difficult to win... most fail to unseat the incumbent.
...again??? What did Walker win??? Oh yea. It cost $30 million dollars (much of it from out of state) to continue to be governor for the rest of his term. Just think of where Walker was a year and a half ago... and all the damage he might have done if left to continue his anti worker campaign... Democrats in Wisconsin spent $4million supporting his opponent and Unions gladly donated to the cause.
Walkers wings have been clipped and is now considered damaged goods. He recently held a "kiss and make up" luncheon, but both Democrats and Republicans refused to attend.
Just think... in a year, Walker can start his reelection campaign all over again.

I looked over Cic's Wisconsin results and I can't seem to find one election result for State Senator??? Very puzzling??? Could Cicero have missed this very important election result?
You Don't Suppose that Cicero was Trying to Slip One By Us Do You???
Cic... where is the election result for Democratic challenger John Lehman??? He was running against incumbent Republican Van Wanggaard???
You'd think that Cicero would have posted such an important result, but some how... SOMEHOW, Cic seems to have misplaced the result THAT GAVE THE MAJORITY OF WISCONSIN'S SENATE FROM THE REPUBLICANS AND TO THE DEMOCRATS!!!
Do ya think Cic made a mistake... or do you think he was embarrassed to post the result?

By KEVIN DOLAK (@kdolak) , SHUSHANNAH WALSHE (@shushwalshe) and DEAN SCHABNER Aug. 10, 2011 Republicans retained majority control of the Wisconsin Senate in a recall election that was spurred by Republican Gov. Scott Walker's agenda of cutting unionized state workers' rights. Four GOP state senators fended off recall votes, while Democrats picked up two seats in the recall election. The final race ended close to midnight when State Sen. Alberta Darling retained her seat, defeating Democratic challenger Sandy Pasch. Unofficial numbers had Darling with 54 percent of the vote compared with 46 percent going to Pasch.
Three other Republicans held onto their seats: Sen. Rob Cowles of Allouez and Sen. Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls, and Luther Olsen of Ripon. All three defeated their Democratic challengers based on unofficial results on Tuesday, according to ABC affiliate WISN-TV in Milwaukee.Despite her party's failure to win control of Wisconsin state Senate, State Senator Lena Taylor, a Democrat, said the fact that so many people signed petitions for the recall is what matters.
"If we win two we've doubled what has happened in the state's history for recalling state Senators. So this is I think huge," she said Wednesday. "The people are speaking. And the people are saying, if nothing else, hundreds of thousands of people in Wisconsin have said that they are completely frustrated with what they've seen."
Democrats were able to successfully recall Republican Sen. Dan Kapanke, with Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Shilling of La Crosse taking the seat. Early results had Shilling taking 55 percent of the vote compared with 45 percent for Kapanke.
Jessica King, 34, another Democrat, defeated Republican State Sen. Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac. With all precincts reporting, King led Hopper 51 percent to 49 percent. Two Democratic incumbents face recalls next week, but even if Democrats win those they will still be in the minority.

"Regardless of recall, Walker may face indictment"
According to government lawyers familiar with a Milwaukee criminal corruption probe, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is now a "target" of the investigation.
The legal sources, who are not involved in Wisconsin's recall, spoke on condition of anonymity. They said Walker faces "serious legal challenges," including "a possible indictment," regardless of the election results on Tuesday.
Any news of this indictment? I heard Box was about to be indicted as well. Anyone can say anything, can't they? Any idiot can cut and paste any ignorant lie.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Wisconsin wasn't considered a battleground state 2 months ago -- now it is a dead heat.
Pennsylvania was never considered a battleground until the last week or two -- now it is within the margin of error.
Obama's reelection campaign is imploding.

Just like the city of Schenectady that YOU claim is in a renaissance? Just like the city of Schenectady that YOU claim is oh so grand and great that you won't dare buy a house in it, nor even rent? Is THAT what you mean?
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
I was hoping that the hurricane would have drowned all of the sewer rats -- but I see that the he/she rodent/vermin is still around.

The truths have drowned out all your cheers for the city -- and I see that the DV/Glry/Ham/Scots/etc are too embarrassed to speak about the imploding city & county and all the bad news.

I am still waiting for the indictment that Box posted would soon happen
