Walker gets support of Milwaukee police and firefighter unions
By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel
April 2, 2012

Madison -- Two unions that were largely spared from Gov. Scott Walker's curbs on collective bargaining endorsed him Monday.

This is what I mean about 'money' in elections, most of Walker's $25 million came from out of state.
and from your site:

Democrats say they haven't come close to matching the $25 million that the Wisconsin governor has raised. Mr. Barrett entered the race late and faced a primary election, during which labor-backed groups spent more than $5 million supporting a candidate they preferred, only to see her lose. By a late April filing date, Mr. Barrett had raised $831,000.

"It feels like David vs. Goliath on the money front," said Peter Barca, the Democratic leader in Wisconsin's State Assembly, who said he was optimistic nonetheless about his party's chances.

Maybe Cheeseheads really don't want $60,000 a year firemen retiring after thirty years at $50,000 a year when they're making $30,000 a year with no pension.
