A massive rebuke to the state Democratic Party, its statist policies, and
the unrelentingly vicious, negative campaign in which they engaged was
delivered last night by the voters of Wisconsin. They re-elected Governor
Scott Walker - by the largest margin yet - for the third time in four years.
Yet the win was much more substantial than that. Every Republican incumbent
running in the state was re-elected. All but one statewide office (the
largely ceremonial secretary of State) up for election was won by
Republicans. The GOP picked up two Senate seats in the state legislature
(giving the Republicans a 19:14 majority) and three seats in the state
Assembly, where they had already enjoyed a more comfortable margin. And the
new members make the majority considerably more conservative than it had
been previously.
