		<description>People are fooling themselves if they believe that the National &#039;stage&#039; Wisconsin has been standing on the past year+ will have little impact on not only the State Senator races, but most importantly, on the Presidential election in less than 5 months.  Unions are at the absolute CORE of the Democratic Platform and have taken a Terrible, Terrible beating as a result of the Recall Election (an election, mind you, that 60+% of exit poll responders stated should NEVER have occurred).

Denial is indeed, not a river in Egypt and it would certainly be disastrous for the Democratic Party to admit as much...  As it is, regardless of acknowledgement of the DNC as such, the Recall Election, Wisconsin&#039;s Budget Repair Bill and the Democratic Assault on the State Supreme Court Justice race in April 2011 are CLEAR indicators of an all out effort to defeat political conservativism in Wisconsin as well as a de facto admission of the criticality of the Conservative victory in Wisconsin...  The political winds are changing in Wisconsin and ANY candidate seeking political office would be wise to heed the &#039;weather&#039; history of the past year as well as the upcoming wind advisory for November (pun intended).</description>

		<description>Governor Scott Walker has achieved great success in a very short time.

All of the hysterics about layoffs predicted by the labor unions never occurred, EXCEPT in districts that were locked into contracts and couldn&#039;t adopt the reforms yet. Overall, Walker&#039;s reforms resulted in MORE TEACHERS being hired, as he promised.

School districts utilizing the governor’s reforms were able to hire 38 percent more teachers than districts that did not use the governor’s reforms. Districts that used the reforms were able to hire 6.78 new teachers per thousand students, while districts that did not use the reforms were able to hire only 4.88 new teachers per thousand students.

According to Governor Walker’s office, if all of the districts surveyed adopted the governor’s reforms, more than 950 additional teachers would have been hired this year. Districts that did not use Governor Walker’s reforms accounted for more than 85 percent of all layoffs. School districts utilizing the governor’s reforms were also able to avoid layoffs at a far greater rate than districts that did not use the governor’s reforms.

Over the last five years the state of Wisconsin school tax levy has increased, on average, by $181 million dollars each year. In recent days, data was released that showed the total school tax levy decreasing by over $47 million dollars. It was the first tax levy decrease in six years. School districts with union contracts that did not adopt Gov. Walker’s reforms showed an increase in their tax levy.

Walker also balanced the state budget and did it while not cutting any services, as he promised. Wisconsin is operating in the black for the first time in a decade.

Given these amazing accomplishments in such a short amount of time, it&#039;s clear those that wanted to recall Walker are idiots. Walker made them look like fools and he&#039;s not done yet.</description>

		<description>Just more liies, projection and propaganda from Obama. Everyone in Wisconsin knows that Scott Walker saved a lot of teachers&#039; jobs. That&#039;s why over a third of union households voted for him. He saved my wife&#039;s job.</description>
