Wisconsin recall elections

First of all these so called recall elections were a farce. You do not have recalls based on policy. You need to have the recall option if your elected official does something really stupid like getting blow jobs from an intern, or paying for his mistress with government money, or abandoning your job as a state legislator and running to Illinois to stop the will of the people from being implemented. You don't get recalled for passing new laws.

Second, people (libs) will say Walker bought the election because he out spent the libs my a huge margin and that a lot of that money came from outside the state. I really don't think that TV ads etc have that big an impact on an election. If you are going to change a voters mind with a TV ad, then that person shouldn't be voting in the first place. As far as out of state money is concerned, were any of the protesters at the state capitol bussed in from out of state?

The numbers are not final but it appears that voter turnout was up by 6% or 350,000 voters. Of that Walker got 209,000 and 'whats his face' got 141,000. Of the total vote Walker got 52% in 2010 and 53% in 2012. Basically nothing changed.

The libs just need to suck it up and next time try to change things at the 'regular' voting box and not one of these special elections. If they want to know how to do that just watch the upcoming presidential election.
