Congratulations to the Wisconsinites who worked their tails off and took back the State . They are TRUE AMERICANS and PATRIOTS. With 99% of the votes counted, Walker (BIG WINNER) received 53% (1,326,658) to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's (BIG LOSER) 46% (1,150,233) and 1% for a third candidate. But those numbers understate Walker's success. He took 60 of the state's 72 counties and beat Barrett by two more points than he did in 2010. Walker's lieutenant governor, Rebecca Kleefisch, also defeated a recall bid.

Democrats Threaten Walker Assassination from Power Line by John Hinderaker (John Hinderaker) Just as you would expect, the Democrats kept it classy last night, flooding Twitter with calls for Scott Walker and his family to be murdered. Twitchy has collected dozens of death threats. A sampling: Somebody gone kill Scott Walker man. KILL SCOTT WALKER KILL SCOTT WALKER KILL SCOTT WALKER KILL SCOTT WALKER KILL SCOTT WALKER KILL SCOTT WALKER! Ole Bitch Ass Pig Ass Nigga!!!! Somebody need to Abe Lincoln Scott Walker cave frog lookin ass. I wanna kill scott walker so fucking baddd!!!!! & the racist dumb assholes that voted for him #nbs Please somebody kill Scott Walker. Scott walker will die within the next week ive already payed for the hit Scott walker needs fall down the capital stairs & die.. NBS I Know What School Scott Walker Son Go To AND If Scott Walker Got A Wife Imma Fuck Her Face— Tj Fucked Yo Bitch (@iWusGetnSumHead) June 06, 2012 Ah yes, the modern Democratic Party. The liberals' rhetorical violence contrasts with Walker's own restrained and dignified victory speech last night: The degree to which Walker has remained calm and civil through months of crazed attacks from the Democrats–culminating over the weekend in the "love child" smear–is remarkable.

San Diego voters approve cuts to city pensions San Diego voters approve cuts to city pensions, San Jose measure holds commanding lead By Elliot Spagat, Associated Press \| Associated Press – 8 hours ago SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Voters overwhelmingly approved a measure to cut retirement benefits for government workers in San Diego on Tuesday and a similar measure held a commanding lead in San Jose in twin contests being closely watched as states and cities throughout the country struggle with pension obligations. In San Diego, 69 percent voted in favor of Proposition B while 31 percent were opposed, with more than 32 percent of precincts reporting. The margin in San Jose was slightly wider, with 71 percent in favor of Measure B and 29 percent opposed. More than 17 percent of precincts reported. San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed called the vote a victory for fiscal reform. "The voters get it, they understand what needs to be done," he said in an interview. Supporters had a straightforward pitch: Pensions for city workers are unaffordable and more generous than many private companies offer, forcing libraries to slash hours and potholes to go unfilled. "We believe people are tired of having services cut back because of big pensions," San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, a Republican who is being forced from office by term limits, said recently. Shrinking tax revenues during the recession are also responsible for service cuts, but pensions are an easy target. San Diego's payments to the city's retirement fund soared from $43 million in 1999 to $231.2 million this year, equal to 20 percent of the city's general fund budget, which pays for day-to-day operations. As the pension payments grew, San Diego's 1.3 million residents saw roads deteriorate and libraries and recreation centers cut hours. For a while, some fire stations had to share engines and trucks. The city has cut its workforce 14 percent to 10,100 employees since Sanders took office in 2005. San Jose's pension payments jumped from $73 million in 2001 to $245 million this year, equal to 27 percent of its general fund budget. Voters there approved construction bonds at the beginning of the last decade, but four new libraries and a police station have never opened because the city cannot afford to operate them. The city of 960,000 cut its workforce 27 percent to 5,400 over the last 10 years. Opponents, led by public employee unions, say the measures deprive workers of benefits they were counting on when they got hired. Some workers decided against potentially more lucrative jobs with private companies, figuring their retirement was relatively safe. "This is part of a broader effort to attack workers and to make their lives miserable," San Diego Councilman Todd Gloria said during a debate on the San Diego measure. Thom Reilly, former manager of Clark County, Nev., and now a professor of social work at San Diego State University, said opponents face a difficult task. He expects the California measures may spawn similar efforts elsewhere if they pass. "The ones who are actually paying the taxes will never see these benefits in their lifetimes, so there's not a lot of sympathy in the public," he said. The ballot measures differ on specifics. San Diego's Proposition B imposes a six-year freeze on pay levels used to determine pension benefits unless a two-thirds majority of the City Council votes to override it. It also puts new hires, except for police officers, into 401(k)-style plans. More than 100,000 residents signed petitions to put the San Diego measure on the ballot. Under San Jose's Measure B, current workers would have to pay up to 16 percent of their salaries to keep their retirement plan or accept more modest benefits. New hires would get less generous benefits. Reed, a Democrat, joined an 8-3 City Council majority to put the measure on the ballot. He said Tuesday that he expected other cities in financial binds to pursue similar measures. "We're at the leading edge but we're not alone," he said.

There was indeed a small victory for the democrats...of course there are elections in November, so we have no idea what it will look like after the November elections. As you know, I like power split, it makes for better government. Now we will see who must be replaced for not performing, as it should be... The Walker victory is the big news, and we are very happy with the results. Who would have imagined that the democrats would be spanked so hard, a year ago...results matter, and that is why Govornor Walker won the election last night.
