Scott Walker Wins

Stephen Hayes nails it in his column; Scott Walker won his recall race last night because he did what he promised to do.

Walker turned a $3.6 billion deficit into a $154 million surplus. Unemployment is down. So are property taxes. Businesses, even with uncertainty about the U.S. economy, are optimistic about the direction of the state. Even with the political divisions, it’s hard to imagine a more successful 16 months as governor.

Now on to governing, right, Wisconsin? And all of this empty rhetoric about unity is worthless if the left does not realize that an election of their choosing went disastrously for them. Elections have consequences.
