In 2010 Scott Walker received 1.1 million votes--over 1 million signed recall petition

to be exact he got 1,128,941 votes. We know today that over a MILLION people signed the petition to recall Walker. That is an amazing number--unprecedented and my fellow Wisconsinites deserve a lot of credit not only for this but for the national discussion that has evolved thanks to the excesses of GOP governors like Walker.

The Democrat in the 2010 race got 1MM votes...I hope those aren't all of the petition signers.

I hope the eternal bashers here that constantly rip at Obama see this and shake some sense in their heads.

Yes, there is a difference between Scott Walker and Democrats you doughheads - just ask the hard working Wisconsinites.
