Both Barrett and Walker spoke of "special interests" during the debate. Neither defined the term. If Obama goes, he needs to go in to support Barrett's special interest "the 99%", the workers of America against Walker's One Percent "special interest" crowd.

In the end what does the recall mean?? If a loss means that the GOP will start to steamroll over worker rights anywhere and everywhere--if it is that big a deal... Then I think on moral grounds it should have been an all out battle for justice from which it would be dereliction of duty to stay on the side-lines.

He should have done it before now actually. This recall is extremely important to all Democrats, teddy51 May 2012 #1
