That’s pretty much what it was like before Walker. Even the candidate who won the Dem primary, Barrett, is afraid of stressing union-related issues. He trounced the paid flunky of the unions, Kathleen Falk, by 24%. Barrett knows that Wisconsin tax-payers are well aware of how they were fleeced by the Teachers Union and their stooges in the Wisconsin legislature.
I have spent the last few days in northern Wisconsin, near GB, on business. Drove up here from Iowa, and through the entire trip, even through Madison, I saw NO signs or posters on the road supporting the recall of Gov. Walker. On the other hand, the support signs for him numbered in the hundreds, if not higher.
