A day before the election in Wisconsin, a new report is putting the Governor in a tough spot. Democratic challengers Tom Barrett and Mahlon Mitchell join Ed Schultz to discuss Walker's new problem and the ground game in Wisconsin.
After sixteen months of bitter wrangling over the direction not just of a state but of the national discourse about economic policy, budget priorities, the role of labor unions in the public sector and democracy itself, Wisconsin will decide today on whether to bounce Governor Scott Walker—the primary American proponent of a European-style austerity agenda based on cuts to wages, benefits, public services and public education—from the position he won in the 2010 “Republican Wave” election.
Walker is only the third governor in American history to face a recall election. And he is the first to be challenged by progressives.
So how will it finish? Will it finish?

The Nation? Isn't that the same loony tabloid employing Chris "uncomfortable to call our soldiers heros" Hayes?
Sure let me pop that one right open for some informed reading....NOT
Austerity is not equal to operating within a budget. What a leap.
Well of course not for information you go to Fox news and your reading is done at rimjobs free republic. Funny how you think your opinion is yours and not just a rewording of the Fox news hour. Here is a clue, you are on Ed's blog whining about who Ed decides to use for his source of information, you are a guest not a producer.
I'm a free American who can state whatever the hell I choose, blog policeman. Did Ed hire you on as the town crier? Must have hit a sore spot.
What sore spot? You come onto Eds blog whining like a 3 year old about Ed's choice of people he puts on his show. Your opinion matters only to you, everyone else laughs at your Glen Beck behavior.
repeat
you sound like a very scary angry sort of republican. don't do anything rash now!
I'm not Republican, but I sure as hell am not on the loony far left. Keep tyring.
"everyone else" HA! If they do let you out of the rubber room whomitmay, you may find the world of diverse opinions frightening - better stay inside and keep that blankey over your head.
