Signatures fall way short of your estimate...Governor Walker grateful,

Walker was undaunted by the recall effort, CNN affiliate WTMJ reported.

"The optimist in me looks at that and says: the overwhelming majority of the people in the state chose not to sign that and I earned the trust of the majority the last time. My hope is I will earn their trust again," he said.

During the last election which included stops by Obama campaigning for him the vote totals were
Republican Scott Walker 1,128,941 52.29% +6.93%
Democratic Tom Barrett 1,004,303 46.52%

The democrats failed to get as many signatures after an extremely aggressive and long campaign and came in with 500,000 less signatures than you stated were to be...a huge disappointment for the unions. Many teachers were "forced" to sign the petitions even though they did not want to...they knew their work environment would be terrible if they did not go along with the arm twisting.
