On my morning drive I heard that Walker's win last night was by a bigger margin that his election 2 years ago. I don't know if this is accurate but if is, this seems to mean that Walker is generally moving in a popular direction. Being popular isn't always good but in this case I think it is.
I hope conservative politicians learn from this recall election that they can make bold conservative moves and not lose elections.
Not so fast. He could very well lose a regular election, as a lot of folks thought that the recall election was uncalled for. The national issue now raised is how valid exit polling is anymore, because like was the case in Florida in 2000, the polls didn't match the results. There's also the matter of all those petition signatures that were verified and accepted by Wisconsin. If all the petition signers cast a vote for the ouster of Walker, then Walker should have lost. Stuff just doesn't add up there.
That is just it though, they did not have that high of a turn out. I am not sure how many who signed showed up, but the voter turn out was like 58%
