Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has two new ads going, one against each of the leading Democratic contenders to face him the June recall.
He can afford it, with $12,171,840 on hand. One of the top Democrats, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk has gotten just $16,785 on her own. Another group, Wisconsin for Labor, is on track to spend $2.3 million for Falk. As you can see from the great money tracker on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin politics are all about Walker — he’s got 10 times the money of the Republican Party and seven times the Democrats’.
Pure bonus read: Democrats wrestling with how — or even whether — a Democratic governor would restore the union rights taken away by Governor Walker.
