WALKER CLOBBERING
BARRETT!....16 POINT LEAD w/ 21% reporting.
The recall is a rematch of the 2010 election in which Walker beat Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by nearly 6 points.
WAUKESHA, Wis. -- Sixty million dollars in campaign spending and 15 months of protests later, Wisconsin voters decided Tuesday that Republican Gov. Scott Walker should keep his job after all. With about half of the precincts reporting, he held a 17-point lead over Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, 58 percent to 41 percent, and was projected to win by the major news networks. The victory was the culmination of a heated recall election that began in the corridors of the state capitol and then transformed into a national test of the conservative grassroots and the power of organized labor. Walker's win deals a blow to the latter and energizes the former. With turnout in this special election reaching presidential levels, observers will be reading the tea leaves for clues to the Obama-Romney contest this fall.READ MORE...






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
