It certainly looks that way...
DNC is MIA in Wisconsin - Robin Bravender - POLITICO.com
The Republican National Committee has said it’ll kick in whatever it takes to keep Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in office.

But Democrats in Washington won’t commit to spending big, even though their candidate has been out raised 25-to-1 so far. And in Wisconsin, that’s left the local activists fuming.

With just three weeks until the June 5 recall election in Wisconsin, Democrats in the state are still waiting for a check they asked the Democratic National Committee to send. And the Obama campaign hasn’t given them any cash, either.

“We’re going to get outspent 10-to-1, maybe 20-to-1,” Zielinski said. “We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we can’t do it for free. Campaigns cost money. Scott Walker has owned the air. We believe we can own the ground.” Zielinski noted he’s confident that the DNC and other allies will support state Democrats.
 
Can't wait for the whining from the union stooges. But don't worry as there will be other candidates for your overpaid leaders to squander future millions of your dues money on. But just look at it like the collective spending side of collective bargaining and it might take a bit of the sting out of things.
 
Saw mention of this yesterday as well. Surprisingly the anti-walker group hasnt commented.

several weeks ago it was reported that Barrett and his campaign weren't even running on the collective bargaining issue....unions barley had any mention in their ads etc etc...I think their own poling told them guess what.... barrett has lost once already, minus a big Fuck up from Walker...it aint looking good. The DNC has some hot spots they are trying to KEEP, they may have decided this state house is gone and the chances of getting it back are slim so lets spend money to keep what we got....
