Interesting Day In Wisconsin

Today, voters in some areas of Wisconsin, will be voting to recall or retain several State Senators. Today, 6 GOP senators face a recall election and later in the month, 2 Democratic senators also face recall votes.
Things have quieted down since the anti-government union votes took place in the Senate with all the Dem senator's running away to Illinois.
Lately, it has been shown that the bill has helped local communities save money while not reducing services. So, instead of campaigning on the anti-government union law, the Dem's are now focusing on the state budget.
I don't know how this will turn out but if the GOP does lose, they only have themselves to blame for the losses. They already screwed up a recall election in northern Wisconsin when they couldn't get a candidate on the ballot when he didn't get enough signatures to be placed on the ballot. He needed something like 200 signatures and only got 197.
It will be an interesting day, no matter what happens.
