Big labor loses, Americans (and esp. Wisconsonites) win

Pro-recall forces spent just about the same amount to recall walker.

Scott Walker raised $30.5 Million to defend his job. Thats the MAX he could have spent.

Yet at a MINIMUM - $63.5 Million was spent on the recall.

Thus - Pro recall forces outspent Walker by at least $3 Million.

And look - they even use your graphic Mookie....

The fact is - pro union forces spent nearly $30 Million (and how much of that was outside money, hmmmm?) just to force the recall. They are the ones that BOUGHT the election. They wanted it - and they paid to get it. Then they didn't have the money to fight it.

So one sides spends $30.5 Million - the other spends at least $33.5 Million - and the person who spent less wins. So the loser cry that the election was "bought".

Anyone see the irony here?
