Preliminary results from Tuesday's primary show Walker beat protester Arthur Kohl-Riggs with 96 percent of the vote.

Coupled with the news out of Indiana tonight, I am doing the happy dance!
“So does this end this recall on Walker?”
Sadly, no. This was just a primary. The outcome on the Republican side wasn’t in doubt. On the Dem side, it looks like the somewhat stronger candidate, Tom Barrett, is pasting the (ostensibly) union-backed and crazier one, Kathleen Falk.
I would like to see the turn out numbers for dem and repub. for the primary.

I cannot freaking wait to see the reactions of the talking heads in the state controlled media.
I get the feeling that listening to Rush tomorrow is going to be a little more fun than usual.

Of course the solution to that is simple. Utilize ATM machines as voting machines. They are already secure and can handle the security. Most everyone knows how to use them. They are more plentiful than polling places, have voting over 3 days. Pass a law that voter fraud is punishable by capital punishment. If you think about voter fraud undermines the populous confidence in the very mechanics of the republic. Should hold the same punishment as treason, which does the same exact thing.

It would behoove the administration to advise the union loyalists to back down and leave Walker in place.
If there is a recall in November and people vote down the line, it is very possible Obama loses Wisconsin.
Unintended consequences at its best.
If the money hasn’t been spent yet the national unions are currently making a run on the holding coffers...
Walker has thousands more votes than ALL combined opponents!
