Recall, you're thinking recall, not impeachment. And Walker's fight was viewed as one for the Right for the whole country, I, for example, sent him $200 for that, did my part to validate the recall petitioner signatures on a web site they set up (didn't find any bad ones), etc. Rather a different thing than a normal election. Oh, and Walker won.

Fixed. And yeah, he only won 52% to 46% (w/ 4% margin of error), despite spending 7x. * Walker Spending Dollars: $30.5 million * Barret Spending Dollars: $4 million * Walker cost per vote: $23.10 * Barret cost per vote: $3.49 Thanks for interfering with another state's recall, I guess. You fell for their schtick that the entire country was threatened, when in reality it was just WI public sector workers losing their universal rights.

  The same universal "rights" FDR thought it was unconscionable for them to have? Wasn't until JFK at the national level, and as I recall Wisconsin a few years before, that this ripoff of taxpayers started, public sector unions negotiating with politicians for the mutual benefit. I, for one, want that replicated in my state, so we don't go bankrupt like Illinois and California are frequently close to, so establishing that a governor and ruling party could do this without losing in the polls was essential, my state is very much threatened.

    The same Universal Rights as declared by the United Nations. I don't really care about whatever fallacious reasoning you've come up with to appease your cognitive bias. It's pretty obvious your critical thinking is impaired if you think setting a state budget has anything to do with collective bargaining. Or that the people whom you paid $200 to take rights away from are even a threat. Good job.
