Apples and Oranges
Illinois is a republican state except for Chicago.
If it wasn't for Chicago, Illinois would be another lost cause.
Uhhhh...
#1 it's that crazy bitch maddow
#2 it's not a "Constitutionally protected right"
#3 there is no "war on women's health"
#4 the law doesn't make abortion illegal in any way. It does put some proceedures in place to make sure women get pre and post care. OMG - they have to see a doctor 3 times? Oh hell no! but but but I thought R's were against women's health? lol - you libs are hilarious.
#5 PP decided to remove the medicinal variety - the law doesn't prevent it's use.

Yes, it could and it will. Either way it's a win for Conservatives. If he loses, it'll motivate Conservatives around the nation to fight harder this fall. If he wins, it's a win for Wisconsin and will help other leaders stand up and fight for gov't reforms instead of just rolling over(meaning they can stand up and fight the public union greed)
But I'm sure leftists will spin it differently. It's the way politics is.
So losing is really winning, right?
Win the battle, lose the war.
Last person standing is the one that claims victory

Founders, CEOs hand Wis. governor campaign cash
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's fan list reads like a who's who of some of the richest people in America financial gurus, a Las Vegas casino president, even an NBA team owner.
His biggest donor was Diane M. Hendricks, founder of Beloit-based American Builders and Contractors Supply Co. Inc. Forbes estimates she's worth $2.8 billion. She gave the governor $500,000. She did not immediately return messages left through her company spokeswoman.
The next two biggest donors were Sheldon Adelson, chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands casino, and Richard DeVos, owner of the Orlando Magic basketball team and co-founder of the Amway Corp., a direct-sales company now under the Alticor company umbrella. Both gave Walker $250,000. Attempts to reach them Monday evening were unsuccessful.
Five people each gave Walker $100,000, including John W. Childs, chief executive officer of Boston equity firm J.W. Childs Associates; Warren A. Stephens, chief executive officer of Stephens Inc., a financial management company based in Little Rock, Ark.; Robert Kern, founder of Waukesha, Wis.-based generator manufacturer Generac, and his wife, Patricia Kern; and Patrick G. Ryan, founder of the Ryan Specialty Group, a Chicago brokerage firm.
Wisconsin law permits recall targets to collect unlimited donations from the day the first group registers with the state against them until the state Government Accountability Board schedules the elections. In Walker's case, the first recall committee registered Nov. 4, and the board set the elections on March 30, allowing the governor to raise unprecedented amounts of money for five months.
He's spent the time crisscrossing the country, hob-knobbing with the wealthy and the famous.
He attended a Christmas party thrown by conservative power broker Grover Norquist and raised money with Hank Greenberg, founder and former CEO of American International Group, at his Manhattan office.
He was in Oklahoma last month, mingling with the corporate elite and top Republicans at a fundraiser co-sponsored by Koch Industries, the oil company led by billionaire brothers who are top backers of conservative causes nationwide.
The connections he's built have paid off none of his challengers' ledgers is even in the same galaxy.
Monday's filings show Walker's opponent in the Republican primary, college-aged political protester Arthur Kohl-Riggs, raised just $2,045 and spent about $480 between Jan. 1 and April 23. He had $1,565 in the bank.
The two Democratic front-runners, Kathleen Falk and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, are light-years behind him as well.
Falk's report showed she raised $977,059 and spent $884,859 between Jan. 1 and April 23. She had $118,062 on hand. Barrett, who didn't enter the race until March 30, raised $831,508 and spent $808,975. He had $475,496 on hand.
Falk and Barrett's campaigns both issued similar statements blasting Walker for traveling around the country rather than focusing on job creation in Wisconsin.
State Democratic Party spokesman Graeme Zielinski issued a statement calling Walker's totals "breathtaking."
"It is true we will be badly outspent. It is also true that, at the end of the day, and until Walker makes it otherwise, money does not vote," Zielinski said.
"The people vote. And it is the people of Wisconsin who will win victory over Scott Walker on June 5th."

So let me get this straight. The Democrats start recall campaign against Scott Walker. And now they are whining that he is focusing on the recall campaign instead of job creation?

The public sector unions in Wisconsin have got out of control and they must be defeated, they are getting rich off the private sector

When when are you going to apply for a teaching position in Wisconson so you can be rich the easy way.

Walker has brought $18M into the state to be spent by local businesses.
And the Dems are complaining?
How much money are they injecting into the state's economy?
Do federal campaign laws apply to state elections?If there's a problem, the law is it.
I would have thought federal campaign/election laws would prohibit this.
