Money Re-captures Wisconsin

Money talks and it talked loud in Wisconsin yesterday as the union-busting Repugnant governor backed by the fascist, filthy rich Koch Brothers beat off the peoples' will in the recall election. It is time for some serious soul searching by the Democratic Party that seems to be again in disarray under the leadership of an incumbent president. Der leader, the Obamanator, aka Barry O'Bomber, did not come within a helicopter ride of the state. Curious! Does Wisconsin portend for the general election is the question of the moment. Wisconsin is a swing state and the Democrats need the state's 10 electoral votes to win the November election. Barry won Wisconsin by 14 points the last time, but now the state is in play. Independent voters, which are a third of the Wisconsin electorate, voted for Scott Walker perhaps in response to the $18 million poured into the state by super PACs. Unions failed to inspire their members to back the Milwaukee mayor, Tom Barnett. The failure of the recall means Citizens' United is apparently a better team than Citizens.
