Fox: Wisconsin GOP Holds Off Democrats in Recall Elections

[Patricia M. McBride]

The people of Wisconsin chose the sanity Governor Walker is trying to bring to the fiscal situation in the state of Wisconsin and kept 4 of the 6 republicans in the recall election for the Senate.  I am grateful for the choice they made for their state.  Next week, 2 democrats will be in recall run offs, and I am hopeful at least 1 and maybe both of them will lose their seats and republicans will regain the 2 seats lost in the run off yesterday.

Two Democratic incumbents face recalls next week, but even if Democrats win those they will still be in the minority.
