Unions are crushed in Wisconsin Walker recall effort; GOP Governor McKenna called "terrorist" is getting it done.

Wisconsin’s Walker and Kleefisch enter homestretch

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) will face Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) in the general recall election on June 5, 2012, after both won primary recall elections in their respective parties. Walker previously defeated Barrett in the 2010 governor’s race by 5 percentage points.

Ballotpedia reports that incumbent Scott Walker received 96.9 percent of the vote in the Republican primary, or 613,597 votes. Tom Barrett received 58.1 percent in the Democratic primary, or 377,879 votes; union-picked far-left candidate Kathleen Falk received 34.2 percent. Wisconsin political commentator Charlie Sykes writes on the “very bad night for the unions”:

….Make that a very, very bad, actually horrible night. Not only did their handpicked candidate get crushed in the Democrats’ own primary — after unions dumped $4 million or more into her candidacy — but the vote had an unexpected twist: Even though he faced only token opposition, and despite some GOP crossovers to vote for Kathleen Falk, Governor Scott Walker got MORE votes than Tom Barrett and Falk COMBINED. How shocking was that?

Tough day for McKenna.

Actually, he's not fit to carry Walker's luggage. 

Just one of the reasons I can't vote for Rob McKenna is spelled out here:

Here's where Rob McKenna lost me: "Collective bargaining (for state workers) is a right."


No, Rob... it isn't. And if you win, it won't be with my support... as if that mattered anyway.

On Other Blogs Today Seattle Times: Republican McKenna Says Collective Bargaining is a Right

By Josh Feit Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 2:21 PM 18 Comments and 0 Reactions Democrats have linked Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna to the anti-union reign of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker with murky lines such as: “His friends in the Legislature have introduced bills to eliminate collective bargaining rights for state workers.”

But Seattle Times reporter Jim Brunner interviewed McKenna last night and got this:

In an interview before the King County GOP’s Lincoln Day dinner in Bellevue Wednesday night, McKenna said he would not replicate Walker’s attempt to undo collective bargaining rights.


“Collective bargaining is a right. It’s not the problem. The problem is politicians who give away too much at the bargaining table,” McKenna said.

If he does get elected governor, McKenna said he’d work with unions, rather than “terrorizing them.”

Given Walker's multiple and documented successes attacking the non-existent"right" of collective bargaining, it's clear that not only does Wisconsin need Walker... EVERY STATE, including ours, needs Walker.

Instead, we're going to get a King County RINO, A Gregoire light, who will, through his acquiescence, continue to screw us... maybe just at a slower rate.

And I am not remotely interested in that.
