In fact, last week's recalls could be a cautionary tale for other governors and lawmakers deciding whether to curtail collective bargaining rights or otherwise upsetting public unions. Democrats, even in losing, had a good showing in Republican districts.

So, the "cautionary tale" is that you shouldn't do the right thing, as this will upset the opposition so much that the will throw a hissy fit, spend huge amounts of money - and fail in their efforts to undo the right thing?

Uhh Ok - consider us cautioned.

The media always forget to mention that in those six GOP districts up for recall last week that Obama won all six in 2008.

The media keeps wanting to imply that somehow these districts are Barry Goldwater hamlets. No. The unions couldn’t get enough recall signatures in the really heavy GOP districts.

The other thing the media fails to point out is that all these recall petitions were garnered back in March when the unions tried the narrative that they were being enslaved by the Governor. Six months later most people realize he was simply asking them to take a pay cut to balance the budget. I’m not sure they get as many people recalled if they went out for signatures today.
