“Tonight’s results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin. Governor Walker has shown that citizens and taxpayers can fight back – and prevail – against the runaway government costs imposed by labor bosses,” Mitt Romney said last night in response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s seven-point victory over his Democratic challenger. He is dead right.
Walker’s big win is a mortal threat not just to President Obama, but to Democrat governance everywhere. Ever since the Tea Party erupted in 2009, the Democrat attack on Republicans has been that they cannot govern. “This divide and conquer, no-compromise crowd — if they had been in control, there never would have been a United States Constitution,” former President Clinton said of Walker while campaigning in Wisconsin last weekend.
