Considering the Walker campaign spent over $30 Million, with about $22 Million of it coming from right wing organizations outside of the State of Wisconsin, and the Barrett campaign spent $4 Million, with about one million of it coming from left wing organizations outside of the State of Wisconsin, and it's still neck and neck, should be very demonstrative of what the actual result should be.
The fact that it's even close shows how bad the Citizens United ruling by those douchebags on the Supreme Court is for actual democracy...and I mean actual representative government, not the best you can buy that the CU ruling is hoping to get us.
Fish on...

P.S. The Republican robo-call that went out this morning in Wisconsin telling people who signed the petition for the recall didn't need to go to the polls because their vote will already be counted in favor of ditching Walker also shows the kind of disdain that Republicans in Wisconsin have for both democracy and the truth. I hope some folks go to jail for it when the investigation is over.
The reason Walker got so much more out of state money is that Obama and the DNC know the only way they can lose Wisconsin is if they where to side with the unions in this fight which they where not about to do
Power is more important then their Union (or any other special interest) constituency
Another core liberal trait!
I do agree with you on CU though. If either candidate would put forth a platform that included an amendment/law that made CU unconstitutional they'd get my vote!!
