Recall meetings are already taking pace. There was a meeting in Green Bay this weekend for the District Senator up there. Americans for Responsible Government here in WI(been very successful recall State politicians at all levels) usually get around 50 volunteers showing at a recall organization meeting.

400 showed.

People are pissed :)

Constitutionally I think Walker can do more, but his way of handling this I think is really working.

How so? How many dems have returned? Did the vote take place? How much has been cut from the budget?

You're right Art 4, Sec 14 of the WI Constitution:
The governor shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies as may occur in either house of the legislature.

That's great news. I wish them well on the recall effort. Even CA pulled one off.

Of course the public employ unions castrated his replacement with over $100,000,000 in ads. At election time they outspent reformers 10-1 on paycheck protection (require permission from members before spending dues on politics) and ending pensions, moving to a system of 401(k) plans.

I can't imagine how much less screwed CA would be if Arnold's "year of reform" proposals were approved in '05.
