Scott Walker’s Election Nightmare in Wisconsin

[cali]

this is a long excellent article. I've just posted the last 4 paragraphs.

As further proof that Governor Walker and his party are in for a very bad year, we can look to the election for Milwaukee County Executive, where Democrat Chris Abele destroyed the Republican candidate Rep. Jeff Stone (an assembly member who supported the anti-collective bargaining law) by a margin of 61-39.

Abele wins the seat left vacant by none other than Scott Walker who left the job to become the governor.

That’s what I call justice.

The inescapable bottom line is that the many political miscalculations of Scott Walker are now coming home to roost and even Koch Brothers money is unlikely to be enough to bail the governor and the state GOP out of the huge hole they have dug for themselves.

It wouldn’t be a terrible idea if GOP governors and congressional members from around the nation take heed of the lessons of Scott Walker’s April election nightmare. If they continue to force the right-wing revolution down the throats of an unappreciative public, there will be a large price to pay.

Just ask Scott.
