Today is the day that Wisconsinites will chose whether to stay with Gov. Scott Walker or will they elect Milwauke Mayor Tom Barrett. An election that may seem to be rather insignificant if you live outside the state Wisconsin, but instead, it has gained national news. Why? DBC will give insight on why ths was so important of a race.
1. Polls from several news sites have listed the state of Wisconsin a swing state. So it is thought that whatever party holds that state that party may win that state in the national elections as well this coming November.
That one is sort of tricky but is believed to be held as true since either main canidate Obama/Romney didn't campaign in that state for either canidate.
It would have had terrible impact on the losing side in that state.
2. It sort of shapes the up coming national election. This election is said to be based on labor unions and there impact on legistation, big business, and economics in that state. If Gov. Walker's stance against unions prevails in this state, would other conservatives try to follow suit in their respective state.
3. It points out the relationship that everyone knows exist and tends to ignore, the relationship of politics and business. Gov. Walker's stance is said to be one made in favor of big business verses the backs of the American people. Republicans will make the arguement that this will help in the creation of jobs. But the creation of what jobs. Labor unions, argue that they fight for better pay and benifits for the employees. Big business would say that unions hinder the process, that they want better paying jobs for the American people.
Regardless of the argument, the state of Wisconsin has said thier piece and has re-elected Gov. Scott Walker. It seems his comments to "divide and conquer" has held up. What will happen as Democrats will now try to regroup and recouparate after tonight's defeat.
