After months of a media frenzy surrounding Republican Gov. Scott Walker and the changes made to the collective bargaining process in Wisconsin, Democrats have balked on the upcoming June 5 recall election.

The effort to recall Walker began last November, when United Wisconsin in coalition with the Democratic party began collecting signatures to initiate a recall election in Summer 2012.

Within 60 days of launching its signature drive, United Wisconsin had already collected well over one million pledges to recall Walker. At the end of March, an official recall election was confirmed, and Democratic and Republican primaries were set to take place in May.

———It is curious to see as to why the DNC isn’t helping in the efforts to recall Walker. ———

Not curious at all....even the libtards at the DNC can read a poll and see it is a losing issue....so throw a half a million at the recall and still lose but by a point less...

Besides Why would the DNC care why the unions throw their money away....

You are spot on, as to the core issue here for the union thugs. Coerced dues payment is their lifeblood. Nothing else matters as much.

And Walker took away most of their cash flow from public employees. Their revenues are going down, and their bank balances are going down. This is their last chance to survive as a viable force in WI.

A Dem loss in WI has implications for IL. The IL dems would need to send IL resources into WI to keep WI from going completely Repub, which would drain finite IL capabilities.
