So far Walker has outspent the Democrats by nine to one. Looks like he is going to have to up the ante.

I find it interesting the degree to which interpretations vary. These two articles are both posted on the NPR website this morning:
Weekly Standard: Walker's Strong Showing In Wis. : NPR
and...
The Nation: Good News For Democrats In Wisconsin : NPR
One titled "Good News for Democrats in Wisconsin", the other "Walker's Strong Showing in Wisconsin." One claims the gov. pulled out all the stops to turn out the Republican vote, the other that he didn't do much because he is running essentially uncontested in the primary.
From down here in Texas I can't tell where the truth lies, but find it interesting, and a bit amazing, the degree of disparity in between the articles.
(BTW, I am too lazy to use the link widget to tidy up appearances.)
