Good. The Dems and their union masters dumped a ton of money into this election, and now that Wisc has gone for the same Republican twice in just 2 years, it leaves them with a ton of egg on their face headed into the November elections.

technically, the republicans spent quite a bit more.  Personally, I'm glad Walker won.  If people don't like the job a governor is doing, they can vote him out when his term is over.  Recalls are meant to be a way to get rid of corrupt or incredibly incompetent politicians and should not be used because of a disagrement on the issues.  This is an example of politics run amok, and hopefully this victory will help keep this crap from happening again.  

+1 for your post.  As for the spending, well the Repubs were kind of forced to after the recall effort was spearheaded by the progressives and big labor.  Sadly one of the only ways to beat them is to outspend them at their own game.
