From the beginning of the recalls there was progress made in Wisconsin as some of the Republicans paid the price for Walker's abusive politics and policies, with the result being Walker losing some measure of power at least for this term.

I also believe these efforts laid a foundation for more Democratic success in November.

Even if the Democrats in Wisconsin didn't get Walker some of those flowers had nectar.

Thanks for the thread, H2OMan.
