The political situation in WI and many other places is complex. I don't have all the answers. That's why I use words like "may."
Assuming that the union goons win this election (when is the last time the GOP won a recount?), that could encourage leftists in other states. On the other hand, they did spend a lot of money, and that may limit their future political campaign options.
I wouldnt count on WI anyway. The GOP last won it in 1984. If they didn’t win in 88 and 04 under good circumstances it’s unlikely they’ll win in 12, especially against Obama. He’ll be very strong in all of the Kerry blue states from 2004. Our best bet is to focus on the 9 states that switched from Bush in 2004(NC, IN, VA, OH, FL, IA, NM, CO, NV)
