R's have snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory. You've blown it with this clown show. Obama will win by at least 8 points, even without my vote. Scott Walker Recall Gets 1M Signatures THAT'S ABOUT TWICE THE NUMBER NEEDED TO FORCE A VOTE By John Johnson, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Jan 17, 2012 2:18 PM CST (NEWSER) – Looks like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will be facing a recall re-election. Leaders of the Democratic effort say they collected 1 million signatures for today's filing, about double the necessary amount. The figure represents about the same number of votes Walker received in the November 2010 election, notes the Wisconsin State Journal. The signatures will need to be verified by the state elections board, which could take months, reports AP. Earlier, the group trying to recall Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said it would easily make its quota as well. The same applies to the lieutenant governor and three other state senators, all of them Republicans. The recall efforts stem from Walker's move last year to essentially eliminate the collective bargaining rights of public workers.
