    Because people finally saw how corrupt and unsustainable Public Unions really are....


    Walker exposed them..

    Oh, and he also cut the deficit without raising taxes...

    He won because recalls almost never work above the small-town level.

    The 44-year-old Walker -- the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election

    Stick with what you know, not what you think you know..

    Sure thing. The Governor of New Mexico survived a recall in 1988 by getting himself impeached before the recall election. Plus there have only been two successful governor recalls.

    "He won because recalls almost never work above the small-town level."

    Every one of them worked until Walker....

    Both of them. Most recalls never make it to a recall election. You have to get too many signatures in a big state. It's the truth . . . most successful recalls happen in smaller constituencies.

    not seeing how this thing with Walker means anything one way or the other. he narrowly won the election for governor. as governor, he pissed off a million of the people in his state so bad they all signed a petition to recall him. so they had a re-election where Walker narrowly won, nothing changed. the only thing I take from it is Walker is very good at pissing off a million people in his state.

    he got more percentage of the votes in the recall election than he did when he got elected the first time. common sense won the election and the same thing won the votes in caifornia.
