Wisconsin recall could hint at 2012 races - Politics - msnbc.com
Six months ago, the GOP won big now, six state senators face retribution
It was an over-reach for the GOP and now it's come back to bit them. They overplayed their hand in their attack on the middle class and now the middle class will replace those who attacked.
The recall effort in Wisconsin should serve as a wakeup call to the rest of America too.

The recall elections on the ballot next month in Wisconsin illustrate two realities about the current state of American politics.
First, victories no matter how dramatic they might seem on election night may be short-lived.
And second, partisan activists are going to extraordinary lengths, using whatever weapons at hand, to win.
If successful in elections on July 12 to recall six Republican state senators, Democrats will begin to reverse the GOP Wisconsin triumph of last fall, wreaking retribution on lawmakers for voting for Gov. Scott Walkers bill to limit collective bargaining for government workers.
