If results were not what they should have been, well... a sane people would not elect Republicans in the first place.
Nevertheless, two of Scott Walker's noxious allies have been recalled, and soon will be replaced by Democrats; this, in places that had been redistricted to be safe Republican seats.
A third race was no doubt the victim of dirty work, by the usual suspect.
Thom Hartmann is correct that this was a testing ground for
2012 campaign tactics to be pursued nationally, with a little help from staggering amounts of unidentifiable cash. But Wisconsinite John Nichols has a more balanced look at this recall's potential to start reversing the Republican grip on power in the state.
And Athenae has something to say about the real, not sane, world.
This was only round one; state law provides that officeholders, including Walker, can be subject to recall after a year.
Progressives have just begin to fight, in a state with a long history of their doing exactly that.
