MSNBC's Alex Wagner and the NOW panel talks with MSNBC colleague Ed Schultz from Wisconsin about tonight's recall election of Governor Scott Walker, and the lasting implications of the recall on unions and on the middle class in the state.
Watch Ed turn back an attempt by GOP strategist Phil Musser to equate Gov. Scott Walker's 8-1 spending advantage with union "boots on the ground" for Tom Barrett at 8:58 into the video.

I hope I remember to watch the Ed Show and see how he battles Mr. Musser. When I see the masterful style Ed uses talking over and down to his guests I think he must have learned that style in Chicago.
Wisconsin is waking up. There is no need for unions anymore. The added overhead they add to American made products makes the US no longer competitive in the world market.
A little something for Ed to think about. I am middle-class. Do not put words in my mouth saying a recall in Wisconsin is a victory for me. I want to work hard and want my neighbors to work hard and keep what we earn. No union crook needs to speak on my behalf.
We need less government and less unions. I know how to spend my money better than the government or a union does. Obama and the unions bring new meaning to "Lean Forward"- they might as well say "Bend Over."
Right because life was so much better before the unions came along. The problem with your thinking is that you fail to look around you and see that since Reagan weakened the unions wages for workers have remained flat lined and without the unions whats to stop the corporations from dropping wages down to Chinese levels, not a damn thing. And where will the GOP be without the unions, why corporations would be able to dump all kinds of money on the GOP and all the wage laws written since FDR will be tossed out and corporations will have free run of the US with no one to stop them. Great world you want, where bending over would be followed with ram it in as deep as you can.
PYUKE - Down with walker - Sent his skrawny little butt to prison - general population Not some mamby pamby hotel room but REAL PRISON !!!! CROOK !!
Thats the problem with people like Walker they go to those prisons that the GOP drag out every election cycle to show how great prisoners have it when democrats who are soft on crime are in charge. Here is the disconnect the numb nuts who make up the GOP base miss, when the GOP wants to scare them they put out videos that shows the prisons that the non rich go to, you know the ones that scare the base into believing that if those prisoners get out there will be rapes in their back yards. Little puppets who dance on a string.
Thank you so much Ed for coming to Wisconsin back in January...that was the beginning of this historic moment! Wisconsin loves you! We are out in full force to support Tom Barrett and recall the fraudster Scott Walker. You are the voice for myself and other teachers who have lost their jobs since Walker got in office....
Ed, you're GREAT!
Keep up the fight.... I've been praying for Scotty boys recall all day. I know his days are numbered. This election is going to effect the entire country which ever way it goes.
GO BADGER STATE.... make us proud!

"make us proud"
What.... Make who proud??
Some - Obviously Havent Got A Clue As To What PRIDE - IS !!!! Hmmmm !!! GOMER !!
It's more than pride she doesn't know what is. She thinks everybody should agree with her. She hasn't posted ONE constructive solution in the weeks she'a been here. That and the name says why her and the others are here. It aint for a discussion. I've even ask questions and they refuse to answer. They don't want to discuss.
that guy was really trying to tell ed the unions outspent walker ? sheeze
75% of Walker's money came from outside Wisconsin.
whom Can't you get over the fabulous Reagan years. Yes he fired the union employees who were going to strangleUS air traffic. Reagan did the right thing for the country. BTW Reagan took a weary and unconfident US to new hieghts from Jimmy Carter. His job was so good that he ran away with his reelection. The country trusted him and loved him. Those are facts. Some unions strangle both the government sector and private. They need a leash on them.
And some political parties want to overthrow the government of the United States. They need to be tried for treason.
Ed always act this way. for me it sounds and looks like he is drunk
It is still early, but it looks like Wisconsin has retained the Republican Governor, Lt. Governor, and Senate Majority Leader. (10:40pm in the East.) All the liberal media can say is that Obama won an exit poll. The "real" election for Obama is in November. The Republicans won the elections that MATTER today.
So what's the spin now Ed? Could it just be as simple as "the voters didn't buy what your guy was selling?"
Ed this just shows you and the democRATS how out of touch you are with the real working class not everyone is a union lover goverment unions are lazy ass workers and the people voted.
