Tom Barrett Enters Governor Recall Race

Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has ended weeks of speculation and entered the race to recall Republican Governor Scott Walker, setting up a potential rematch of the 2010 election.

Barrett announced his decision Friday. His announcement is just four days before he stands for re-election Tuesday as Milwaukee mayor. He faces little opposition in that race.

Barrett says he will begin campaigning for governor across the state on Saturday.

He said in an email to supporters Friday that he would fight to restore collective bargaining rights "because it's the right thing to do, and it's necessary to heal Wisconsin."

I'm sure he was waiting for research results to see if he should.
