Wisconsin State Senate power shifts to Democrats in recall (WSJ)

(Thought I'd post this with a slightly more reputable source than the Moonie Times (though only very slightly more credible as Murdoch is destroying WSJ credibility daily).)

Though taking control of the Senate is a huge moral victory for the Democrats, they won't be able to do much with it, at least for a while. The Legislature isn't scheduled to convene again until January, and Democrats will have to defend their majority in November's elections.

But Democrats will be able to block any Republican legislation should Walker call for a special session of the Legislature. And if the Democrats maintain their majority, it would make life politically difficult for Walker for the first time; his fellow Republicans have controlled both the state Assembly and Senate since he took office in January 2011.

Heh - a moral victory is all we needed here, besides, knowing Walker he'd call a special session, so it's good to know they can do no more harm until at least Jan, but hopefully Dems will retain control on Obama's coattails.

TINS, this is really good news. Thanks for the perspective.

Walker now has an investigation hanging over his head....and a Democratic senate. Sounds like victory to me!
