The great news for those of us in Wisconsin is that Scott Walker retained the governorship against union darling Mary Burke. Despite strong union opposition and almost constant attacks by democrats including a recall attempt as soon as the unions could legally arrange one, Walker retains the governorship.
As Obama said, this election wasn't about him, but about his policies. Using that thinking, Wisconsin voted in favor of Act10, Voter ID, and other Walker initiatives including those that allowed Wisconsin to turn a 3.6 billion dollar debt into a surplus. It is also a referendum on Obamacare, since Walker refused federal money for medicaid and refused to create a state exchange.
With this win, Walker is in a much better position if he were to look at the presidency in 2016.
Congratulations to both Scott Walker and the state of Wisconsin.
