Walker Wins
In an election that can't be called anything but a referendum on President Obama and Democrat over-spending (although Obama beat Mitt Romney in polls in the state) Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is still just that, Wisconsin governor. And why. After all the assurances and predictions by liberal journalists and pundits that Walker would be removed from his job, the people of Wisconsin have spoken to the chagrin of those same left-wing and now disappointed and embarrassed journalists and pundits.
Some (like David Shuster and Ed Schultz) predicted that Walker would not only lose his job, but his freedom as well as they were all too sure the governor would be somehow indicted as some criminal and enemy of the people for ending the grip of the all too powerful Wisconsin unions. Others, like perennial Democrat wise ass and whiner Paul Begala, are now crying foul about dirty pool politics and "typical" Republican vote theft (soon to be crying about some false case of voter fraud, I'm sure) Too bad for them.
How many of them will now backtrack on their derisive, misleading and by some, totally untrue statements about Walker and his apparently popular policies as Walker not only defeated Milwaukee mayor Ted Barrett, but he won by a larger margin than when he originally claimed the governorship?
How this affects the general election in November remains to be seen, but if the gains by Republicans in the last few months and years (Scott Brown, a Republican, winning Ted Kennedy's seat in of all places the very liberal Massachusetts in January 2010, the Republicans making the most gains in the House of Representatives in 72? years in the mid-term elections in 2010, Bob Turner winning Anthony Weiner's vacated House seat in heavily liberal New York in 2011 and just for fun (although this has nothing to do with Republican victories but a litmus test for Obama's so-called "global popularity") the fact that Obama failed to procure the Olympics for Chicago; when in fact Chicago was eliminated from contention on the first ballot.
It's no surprise President Obama finally wised up and didn't bother to stump for Tom Barrett (and now one has to wonder what loyalty the Wisconsin unions still have for the president) as even he probably finally realizes he's a political albatross to Democrats who need a big name to rally support for them.
All that we need to wait for now is the above egg-faced "experts" to make excuses as to how they weren't really wrong, but just "miscalculated" and that no one could have seen this coming.
