Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, on Capitol Hill for a hearing held by the House Oversight Committee on state budgets, had yet to even speak before Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) ripped into the Republican leader's anti-union record.

"I strongly oppose efforts to falsely blame middle-class American workers for these current economic problems," Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the committee, said in his opening statement. "This recession was not caused by them. Working America - fire fighters, teachers and nurses - are not responsible for the reckless actions of Wall Street, which led to this crisis in the first place."

Wisconsin Election Turns Into Referendum on Governor - NYTimes.com


Wisconsin Election Turns Into Referendum on Governor - NYTimes.com


"Fights over the agenda of Wisconsin’s newly powerful Republicans, including cuts to collective bargaining rights, have turned this quiet judicial match into a bitter, expensive, highly personal and politicized battle, inflamed with advertising dollars expected to reach into the millions from outside liberal and conservative groups, including the Tea Party Express.

The race has turned into a referendum on Wisconsin’s new Republican governor, Scott Walker, on his bill limiting collective bargaining rights for public workers, and, more broadly, on the Republican politicians who now control the Capitol. “This has really become a proxy battle for the governor’s positions and much less a fight about the court itself,” said Charles H. Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison."

"Madison - In the midst of the controversy of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's ties to David Koch and Koch Industries, the Center for Media and Democracy has conducted an analysis of the headliners at Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) conventions in the state in the past two years. The events featured select candidates who were running for office, including gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, Attorney General candidate J.B. Van Hollen, judicial candidate David T. Prosser, Jr., and Congressman James Sensenbrenner. The AFP events also featured an array of national speakers who have supported AFP and its "Tea Party" related activities."

Scott Walker: Could he be the most polarizing governor in America? By Craig Gilbert of the Journal Sentinel

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/117577493.html (full article)

According to Craig Gilbert of the Journal Sentinel "When Republican Scott Walker got elected governor last fall, most Wisconsinites didn’t have very strong feelings about him.
But in a matter of weeks, that’s all changed. Walker has not only become a far more polarizing figure than he was last fall. But his polling numbers are beginning to set him apart from other governors around the country.
What does it mean to be polarizing?"
