Yesterday hardly was any statement at all about "unions and recalls". That comes in four weeks.
Yesterday was another election in a state rocked by multiple elections and recalls, and this election wasn't even mentioned in multiple small-town Wisconsin newspapers. Election fatigue is real. The turnout was pretty good, however. Hard to tell what's what with the crossover Dems who voted for that kid running against Walker.
But more Dems voted than GOP. If the same dedicated voters on both sides come out in four weeks, Barrett wins easily.
But everyone knows that yesterday hardly matters, in comparison to what happens at the recall election for Walker and other current office-holders four weeks from now.
If Walker holds his office (I don't think he will, but we'll see - he's had millions from out-of-state big donors funneled in to try and hold the seat), doubtful he'll have the GOP state legislature that has allowed him free reign to do the ALEC legislative bidding that he and the Fitz's have done so far.
The electorate is fed up, and both sides are acting within their rights, meeting what is required, and doing what responsible voters do - signing petitions and voting.
