So what's going on in Wisconsin? Morning Schmoe is calling it for Walker. [View all]

He and Mika were going on about this being a failure for the unions, they would regret fighting a sitting governor, they've wasted all the money they collected since Walker is obviously going to beat the recall.

Oh and the teachers unions are to blame.

I didn't see the whole show, just this few minutes and then I turned the channel in disgust. All the other folks on the show just sat there and none tried to argue with Schmoe or Mika.

Is this even close to the truth? Please tell me no.
