Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

[Riot]

The 25,000 people marching on the capital of Wisconsin are greater than those trying to overthrow the government of Bahrain.

Union busting - having nothing to do with balancing any state budget - was a 2012 election planning goal passed out the last meeting of the Republican Governors Conference. Take out the unions to try and disaffect democratic voter turnout in 2012. It has already started in other states, with other Republican govs trying to sneak union-dissolving legislation through like Walker did last week.

But the best part is how the Democrats "fled across the state line to Rockford" to prevent a union-busting vote. You go, guys!

Yes, this is gonna be a great election cycle for the political geeks

His recall can't be requested until he's had one year in office, but apparently the signatures are already being collected for submission.
