Democrats have now drawn political first blood in Wisconsin, in the fight over Republican Gov. Scott Walker's anti-public employee union law: In Milwaukee County, where Walker had previously been elected three times as county executive, the Dem-supported candidate has won in a rout -- and defeated a Republican state legislator who voted for Gov. Walker's bill.

Meanwhile, the hotly-contested state Supreme Court race, which has become proxy political battle over Walker's legislation, remains too close to call,
(see: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/g...002e0.html )
and a recount is very possible ....

Now, in a massive swing, the Democrats could be about to take back the office by an even larger margin than Walker's personal best.

Good news and I hope the Supreme Court goes to our side. Get those recalls ready WI, you've done a remarkable job in turning the people against Walker.

What better example of how every vote counts. Staying home doesn't cut it!
