Walker Wins Again

It's the gubernatorial race that caught the nation's attention for a few reasons.  One, it was a recall election.  Two, recall elections usually end badly for the incumbent.  Three, it was the union against the government.  Four, many believe the results will act as a shadow of things to come.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker survived the recall election.  Actually, he received more votes in the recall election than he did in the original 2010 race against the same opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.  The reason for the recall was the actions of the governor to fulfill his promise to balance the state budget, which was $3.6 billion in debt.  Not only did Walker cut the debt, but ended the fiscal year with a surplus!  In order to do that, he made cuts to how much the government spent on benefits for public workers.

Mitt Romney, Republican nominee for the Presidential race praised Walker for his fiscal responsibility and made a plea to the American people to vote for the same thing in November.

There has been three gubernatorial recall elections in US history.  Walker is the only one to survive.
In his speech after the election was concluded, Walker called for unity, saying, "Tomorrow we are all Wisconsinites."  Tom Barrett, echoed that call in his concession speech.
