9:35 a.m. ET: ABC's Michael Falcone and Amy Walker iron out the madness of Wisconsin politics in today's edition of The Note:
TOTAL RECALL: Today, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker could become just the third governor in U.S. history to be removed from office in the middle of a term. Or, he just might hold on to his job. Polls show a conservative electorate in keeping with the state's 2010 trend, and Democrats and labor activists have privately lowered expectations. Democrats could seize control of the state senate, but in order to repeal Walker's budget and bargaining reforms, they'll need to win the governor's mansion, too.
