Scott Walker wins... for now

Folks are calling Scott Walker the winner of the recall. It's kind of sad to see, I thought he would lose.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker beat back a recall challenge Tuesday, winning both the right to finish his term and a voter endorsement of his strategy to curb state spending, which included the explosive measure that eliminated union rights for most public workers.

The rising Republican star becomes the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall attempt with his defeat of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and the union leaders who rallied for months against his agenda.

In an interview, Walker said it was time "to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward."

The governor said he planned to invite lawmakers to meet as soon as next week over burgers and brats to discuss ways to bridge the political divide.

He will get his in the end.
