WISCONSIN RECALL OF GOVERNOR ELECTION TOMORROW............

Wisconsin's freshman Republican Governor Scott Walker, faces a recall election on Tuesday based on his first year in office effort to severely curb public union rights and benefits, to close the State's budget deficit.  Governor Walker's proposal to restrict, if not eliminate, collective bargaining for state employees caused Wisconsin public employee unions to push for the recall of Governor Walker, and organized the petition drive that resulted in tomorrow's recall vote.  Should Walker lose Tuesday's election, he will become only the third Governor in the United States to be recalled.  Former Governor Gray Davis was the the third one to be recalled, after reelection to a second term in October 2003; and the first ever American Governor to be recalled was Governor Lunn Frazier, in 1921.  Governor Scott Walker's Democratic challenger tomorrow is Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mayor Tom Barrett, who was his opponent for Governor in 2010, and who Walker defeated then by six percentage points.  Recent polling suggests that Governor Walker is likely to turn back the recall attempt, a perception developing in recent days, reinforced by lack of participation in the recall campaign by President Obama, even though Former President Bill Clinton has campaigned for Mayor Barrett in the days leading up to the vote.  CNN and other presidential polls lean Wisconsin toward President Obama  in November.  Wisconsin last voted Republican for President in 1984, in the President Reagan 49 State sweep.  Whether Governor Walker's possibly prevailing against the recall attempt shifts Wisconsin in November from the Obama to the Romney column, with its 10 Electoral Votes, will obviously become a consideration of focus, as Governor Romney and the Republican Party attempt to breakthrough and take back States like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in the Presidential Election............Fr.  Troy
