From the  Huffington Post:

Democratic State Sen. Dave Hansen Wins First Wisconsin Recall Election!

Sen. Hansen’s victory is a validation of the lengths he and the rest of the ‘Wisconsin 14’ went to in their efforts to stall the Wisconsin GOP’s extreme right-wing, anti-working family agenda,” said Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee Executive Director Michael Sargeant. “His constituents understand that he fights for them, not for extreme ideologues.”

There are the nuts and bolts.  Scott Walker and crew did their best to recall Sen. Hanson’s last election  victory,  to no avail.   This victory will probably be the first of many for Democrats who stood their ground for public employees.  Wisconsin is a union state and things like what happened in Madison last winter just do not sit well. 

Three Democratic state senators  are being targeted for recall and  each have at least $140,000 in the bank, according to spending reports filed Monday with state election officials.

Insulting public employees is just not the way to  impress voters.  Walker and his gang need to find another way to balance their state budget, rather than doing it on the backs of the public employees.

    This is the start of a very good trend.

    Stood their ground? That’s classic, only Democrats can run away like cowards and hide out in hotels and resorts for weeks only popping their heads out like scared prairie dogs once a day to do interviews on MSDNC and it be referred to as they ‘stood their ground’.

    1. Kept the vote from taking place, didn’t it? A vote that should have never been taken. Yes, they stood their ground on their terms.

    Actually they only DELAYED the vote. The vote did take place. And they lost as expected. Then they lost the vote on the judge…..

    So, I predict that some of these recall elections might result in a change.

    As long as my federal tax dollars don’t bail the state out, then they should have what they want!
