Wisconsin Recall Elections Today

If you know anyone in the eight Wisconsin State Senate districts with recall elections today, remind them to go and vote for the Republican candidate:

Wisconsin Democrats, fueled by millions of dollars in spending by national unions and other outside groups, were hoping to wrest control of the state Senate away from Republicans through six recall elections Tuesday that stemmed from anger over Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining proposal.

The races targeting incumbent Republicans morphed into a high-stakes political fight with national implications as tens of millions of dollars poured into the state, breaking spending records in the unprecedented recalls.

Until this year, there were only 20 attempts nationally since 1913 to recall lawmakers from office, just 13 of them successful.

Besides the six Republicans on Tuesday's ballot, two Democratic incumbents face recalls next week. A third Democrat survived a recall attempt last month.

Republicans hold a 19-14 advantage in the Senate, so Democrats need to win five of the eight elections to take control.

The union thugs think they can stop Gov. Walker by winning control of the Senate. It's not likely that they'll win control, and even if they do the GOP still controls the House, so repealing the union reform law the unions hate so much is unlikely to happen. Today's elections are basically a Democrat temper tantrum.
