Walker recall expected to proceed By: David Catanese August 10, 2011 11:53 AM EDT
MADISON, Wis. Democrats are forging ahead with efforts to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker next year, one day after losing four of six recall elections to oust GOP state senators.
The Tuesday night losses left Democrats a single seat short of overturning GOP control of the states upper chamber, though Democratic officials and operatives on the ground insisted Wednesday that their two wins in Republican-leaning areas exposed Walkers weaknesses.
If we can do all of this against entrenched Republicans on their own turf, imagine our success when all of Wisconsin can have its voice heard on Gov. Walkers extreme, divisive agenda, Wisconsin state party chairman Mike Tate wrote in a memo to reporters Wednesday.
The historic gains made tonight to restore balance and accountability to our state, and restore Wisconsin values, will continue when the entire state weighs in on the November 2012 elections and with the recall of Scott Walker himself, Tate said.
Standing before a cheering crowd of partisans on the Majestic Theatre stage late Tuesday when it was still uncertain whether Democrats would flip control of the Senate an animated Tate was even more defiant: We will not stop, we will not rest, until we recall Scott Walker from the state of Wisconsin.

where’s the contribution link?
Whoops... correction: it was the Wisconsin Education Association (WEA) that I left. I mixed it up with the AFT, which was the union when I worked in Illinois. :)
The thugocrats' initial talk was getting Walker recalled early in 2012, the first chance he is eligible for a recall. They're backing off of this now, which bodes well for Walker.
I'm hoping next Tuesday will restore the initial advantage to the Republicans. Please donate to Steitz and Simac if you can.
One other benefit if we can knock off the two Dems next week is that we'll be likely trading marginal, moderate Republicans for much more conservative ones.
“If they want to waste their money, go right ahead.”
and on a side note, it does help the economy now doesn’t it....Hotels, Restaurants,advertising and the list goes on... hahaha Have at it union orgs.
I think I'll listen. I don't want to put Americans out of work, but I'm tired of watching these thugs wreck our country with their greed and hate.
Au contraire. All of these Republicans up for re-election yesteday were in iffy Districts. All were in districts that elected Obama in 2008 (except — perhaps — Alberta). Since Alberta Darling’s district combines several Assembly districts, some of her district went for Obama and a small part elected McCain!
They formed a coalition of blacks, aliens, homosexuals, asiatics, non-christians which is within millimeters of establishing total control of all aspects of our daily lives right down to what people eat. They have captured the courts, the congress and the executive and are daily placing their members in positions of authority. The coalition is seizing the economy for the exclusive benefit of its members. They have passed laws preventing discussion of their misrule: i.e. "Hate Crime" laws, laws taking control of access to private property and employment. They are even gaining control of the decision to allow the innocent to live or die.
They are not afraid to beat the Holy H*ll out of any potential opposition. They can call forth a mob in seconds and with one word send the mob home.
It does not look good for our side. The conservative has produced no person or group of persons effective against the abovementioned.
If all leftists in America will commit suicide I promise Gov Walker will step down....
...:o)
I wonder when the DNC will tell labor to stop in Wisconsin because they are embarassing themselves and putting the 2012 election in Jeopardy. Numbers are right for the GOP to take Wisconsin in the presidential race. Adding a recall election for the Governor will not help Obama.
Their childish temper tantrum is allowed to proceed by a broken and corrupted court system.
Sounds like Tate is tossing some meat scraps to demoralized Dems. I think it will be hard for this movement to gather steam.
Who schedules when a recall election will be held? Doesn’t it have to meet the approval of the legislature or governor?
I better the Hell not be paying for Wisconsin’s redux elections!
Actually, I would bet a large sum of my own money we already have.
Stimulus money was basically tossed around like candy, of course to the right people
Massive amounts went to all types of public sector unions in all 50 states.
Great post. Bump.
