As Wispolitics.com is reporting, recall organizers have collected more than a million signatures to recall Gov. Scott Walker, almost twice as many as the 540,000 signatures they needed to force the election.Recall supporters gathered 845,000 signatures to recall Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, well above the required 540,000. They also have enough signatures to force recalls of four Republican senators, although I don't have the numbers just yet.
Not surprisingly, the Republican Party of Wisconsin has blasted this historic grassroots effort in the following statement:
"We had no doubt the Democrats would be able to rally their left-wing supporters around this baseless and expensive recall effort. This shameful recall attempt of the Governor will accomplish nothing but saddle Wisconsin taxpayers with over $9 million in unbudgeted costs. Regardless of what the radical left may believe, Wisconsin families will continue to stand with Governor Walker, who has balanced a $3.6 billion budget deficit without raising taxes, and created thousands of new jobs.”
So there are more than a million radical lefties in the state? That's news to me.
