(CNN) - In a vote with possible presidential election implications, Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin will survive a bitter recall effort, CNN projects.
When Walker's in it to win it, Wisconsin will be one GOP keeper for the November election. Boo ya, Democrats! NJ, NM and CA, too.

This is good news, no longer will the Democrats and their Union's will be able to bully people. I guess Americans are realizing that Unions are a thing of the past.

Fantastic. Dems use bully tactics to try to oust the governor, the one elected by the people of the state. The people win.

I really hope this projection is not true. How could a majority of voters be so misguided?

The national implications are all wrong for Republicans. Even though Walker won, Obama beat Romney handily in the exit polls Is it possible to recall Romney?

Hopefully this will be an indication that we could say "adios" to the communists in November!! NIce try pinkos but your system failed again, as it did all over the world were communism and socialism were forced on the people. It just doesn't work. GIVE IT UP!!!

The people of Wisconsin have shown that our traditional values and belief in personal accountability continue even in this crazy time where far left zealots seem to get all the headlines.

Hope you guys are happy. When the conservatives get their way, all collective bargaining will be a thing of the past. Then they will start attacking the labor laws.

This is great for Wisconsin and America.

Huh?

If a recall doesn't work maybe an indictment will.

Future teachers will be lucky to earn minimum wage with no benefits in Wisconsin. Wisconsin wins Red status.

Too close to call? 58% versus 41% is not a very close result. 3-2 for Walker. Just not enough rabid union members in Wisconsin, I guess. Some of the ugliest human behavior I have ever seen occurred during a union strike. Reminded me of abortion protests and religious extremists. The world has moved on and the unions have had their day. God bless em tough for all they did for workers in the coal mines, meat packing industries and other areas. They just went overboard, going from protecting worker rights to bankrupting good companies with outrageous demands when they had the companies over the barrel. I currently work in a union factory. Some of the things that go on are poison to a striving company.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that President Obama will be spending more time in Wisconsin than in Marthas Vineyard between now and November.
Re-count.....too close to call!
