Can Mitt Romney Match Wisconsin’s Scott Walker?
posted on June 7, 2012Scott Walker’s victory in Wisconsin’s recall election on Tuesday could provide “a template for Republicans looking ahead to the presidential race,” writes The Washington Post’s Dan Balz. The defeat of Governor Walker’s challenger, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, might mean that tough times are in store for Democrats this fall, perhaps even for President Obama. Balz notes, “Both sides will examine the results for clues as to whether Wisconsin, which hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1984 but has been fiercely competitive in two of the last three elections, will again become a true battleground.”
