MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has offered to keep certain collective bargaining rights in place for state workers in a proposed compromise aimed at ending a nearly three-week standoff with absent Senate Democrats, according to e-mails released Tuesday by his office.

Looks like Walker is just another typical politician after all....
Told ya he would. The GOP always caves. Of course, it's also a demonstration of leadership. He recognizes he is getting the bulk of what he wants and so he is accepting that rather than continuing to drag out a political football that is ripping the state apart.
On the other hand, Walker probably has nothing to lose by sticking to his guns and continuing not to compromise. You can be assured the recall efforts are still going to go forward and the unions will do everything in their power to defeat him for reelection as well as the Republican reps next year who voted for it. In that respect, they may as well stick it out at this point.
