Voters there on Tuesday will be deciding the political fate of Republican Gov. Walker, along with lieutenant governor and four state senators, in the state's first-ever statewide recall election.

Clearly, the Dems and the unions share the view that if you don't like the outcome of an election, all you need to do is spend more taxpayer money to reverse it via a recall.  Let's hope the voters in Wisconsin are smart enough to recognize what Gov.
