You are so right about that. This was a stunner. I am impressed and I was thoroughly fed up with the Repubs’ milquetoast response to the Dems’ shenanigans.

No, Husker, this is a huge win for the GOP, both in WI and across the nation. And Obama and the RATS will have a lot less $$$ to fund campaigns next year and beyond.

Game-changer.

Walker drops nuke on WI Democrats ping.

Look’s like all the WI Sen Dems are running back to Senate by tomorrow. Tune into MSNBC now, their two week gloating ‘we won the war’ theme is over. WI Dem Sens are now on MSNBC moaning and whining.

Cyenk (MSNBC) didn't know about this at 6-7pm EST so he was still gloating, but now 8pm EST it is O’Donnell’s main story. Maddow and Schultz will be much better being the chief gloaters. Watch for threats of a statewide strike.

So we have to wait until O’Ego’s taped show is over to see coverage on FOX?

I strongly suspect the Capitol building will be occupied and thoroughly trashed tomorrow. I also expect some of GOPers homes to be firebombed if it passes the Assembly.

I think that the proper agencies have been mobilized to protect the capitol building as well as the homes of GOP members. Any attempted firebombing will be countered.

It's going to get really ugly, really really fast, now, including personal violence against the GOP members. The Union Bolshevikii aren't going to go quietly on this one.

The Republicans know exactly what they're up against. It'll get ugly, but it will definitely backfire on the union thugs. People are tired of their intimidating shenanigans. And the politicians WILL be well protected.

Yes, it will. Unfortunately, this may well be struck down as a violation of Wisconsin’s open meetings law.

Generally speaking, I would argue that this meeting was an ongoing meeting and very publicly known meeting. Some details and procedures taken may not have been known until developed during and as a result of the meeting; however, the meeting itself was normal senate business that all were aware of despite some running away to avoid it...

Did Right to Work pass? I believe so, but I need confirmation.

So what? The DemonRATS have always been about lawsuits when they don't get their way. We should NEVER be intimidated by this threat.
