Some Leftists crowing about Wisconsin recall

A leftist pinhead by the name of Greg Sargent writes a column for the WaPo, and argues that the recent recall elections in Wisconsin killed governor Scott Walker's working majority in that state's senate and all but ensures that he'll lose a recall election in 2012.

That's certainly possible, as the state does seem to be evenly divided. Since I don't live there, to me the outcome is of academic interest only. The reason I posted this is that I urge you to click on the link and read the comments to Sargent's article.

About a third of the commenters not only sound crazy but also amazingly combative.

Interes funny: Every article I've seen on Wisconsin says that Walker's new procedures have already closed a billion-dollar budget shortfall. Since these are articles in the lefist "MSM" I can't believe they'd lie to favor a Republican governor.

Which raises a few questions for Wisconsin residents:
  1. Is your budget in better shape with the Walker changes, or is the MSM lying?
  2. Other things equal, do you feel it's better for a state to have a balanced budget?
  3. Is it true that once Walker allowed school systems to get health-insurance bids from more than just the union-owned company, that company drastically cut its own bid for the same coverage?
  4. Do you approve of the tactic of legislators fleeing the state to avoid a vote on a measure they know they don't have the votes to win?
  5. Will you approve of the same tactic if it's used by Republicans?
