Walker Wins

According to various media outlets, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (R) has won his recall election, prevailing against Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett (D).  Walker had previously beaten Barrett in the regular election of 2010.  Due to provisions of the Wisconsin Constitution, lieutenant governor Rebecca Kleefisch, who had been elected on a ticket with Walker in the regular election, faced a separate recall vote.  Among those reporting on the Wisconsin recall election are:

Los Angeles Times
CBS News
NY Daily News
Wall Street Journal
Washington Post

Some of us conservatives, of course, are happy about the results, and hope that what happened this evening is a prelude to the next regular election.  As The Army You Have puts it, "See you in November".
