Define "close". Walker raised 3x as much from Wis voters as Barrett. Face it Ricter, this was a blowout. I await one of your drive-by non-sequiturs.
Actually Barrett raised 3 million plus 6 million from outside groups, for a total of 9 million, but Barrett also got atleast 20 minutes a night of free promotion from MSNBC as well. Walker raised 29 million plus 16 million from outside groups for a total of 45 million so walker outspent him 5-1 It seems the only way for the taxpayers who are getting raped to fight back against this public sector leeches is to outspend them, so this is a great result that shows them, that they can no longer rape tax payers and get away with it.

Right now, 8:18 AM Calfornia time, the msnbc headline in the upper left hand corner says, "GOP's Gov. Walker wins by big margin in Wisconsin recall vote." in large font.
This is just a sample of how liberals are going to be crying and threatening people in November when Obama and a bunch of other democraps are going to be tossed out of Washington. The liberals on this forum will be crying foul, how democracy is over and especially how everyone will now be expected to be responsible and carry their own weight - which is abhorrent to liberals. Let the crying and gnashing of teeth begin!
At 10:30 CA time, msnbc has updated the headline to read, "Unions take a big hit as Walker wins Wis. recall vote." Still at the top in large font. If you believe that msnbc has a left wing bias, the headlines today are surprising.
