An Escape...For now....

I've got news for Wisconsin Governor ,Scott Walker....Laugh now!  Enjoy your victory!

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) survived a furious campaign seeking his recall on Tuesday, emerging as the victor in a bitter fight over state budgets and collective bargaining rights.

Governor Walker prevailed over his Democratic challenger ,Tom Barrett,who is  the mayor of Milwaukee, in the closely-watched campaign that stemmed from a fight in early 2011, when Walker drove a controversial bill stripping public employee unions of their collective bargaining rights through Wisconsin's legislature. Scott Walker won with 53 percent of the vote while Barrett received 46 percent, a slightly larger margin than when the two ran against one another in 2010.

This is because..Some Democrats, for inexplicable reasons didn't think that despite the wrongness of his thinking and what he did to the unions...it didn't call for him being recalled...So they voted with Republicans... It blows the mind...I don't understand it...I don't want to understand it.

The election results might have brought the political battles in Wisconsin to a climax, but exit poll data suggested that the state's voters remain sharply divided 15 months after the initial legislative fight that had prompted weeks of protests in Madison, and intense national media attention.

The data showed that the passions either for or against Walker ran high in Tuesday's vote. The vast majority of voters made up their minds before May, and few voters who identified either as a Democrat or Republican crossed party lines to support a different candidate.

Scott Walker, making a pivot toward healing his state's raw wounds, acknowledged that he might have "rushed" his pursuit of reforms early in his terms before consulting with political opponents.

This means that he just barely escaped losing his job...This means that he can't ignore that many people who obviously aren't impressed with him....That means that he may have to do something to assauge some of those hurt feelings or do what most Republicans do, hope that people either forget, come election time or make them forget with some non-issue like gay marriage or the latest thing, race baiting.

Laugh now Governor Walker.....Your day of reckoning just got post poned...but it's coming! You can make bank on that!
