Wisconsin Recall Election a Preview of 2012 Big Money to Come
Suzanne Merkelson, Republic Report: ''Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) is facing a recall election after he pushed through legislation last year that limited public workers' bargaining rights. And now a special Wisconsin state law that allows recall targets to raise unlimited amounts of money in the early days of the campaign has helped Walker raise an unprecedented amount of money... Unlike in the presidential election, not one of Walker s opponents has come close to raising the millions he s made off his ties to corporate donors.''

Donations to Scott Walker Flagged as Potential Fraud
Kim Barker, ProPublica: ''When MaryAnn Nellis tried to pay for groceries, her credit card was declined. Her credit card company had flagged an earlier purchase as potentially fraudulent. The problem?

Restore Our Future, the super PAC supporting Republican Mitt Romney, was using a collection system that made online donors' credit card information accessible to even amateur snoopers.''

Mark Karlin, Truthout: ''Gone are the massive throngs of protesters teeming around the capitol in Madison. The recall election of Gov.

Annie-Rose Strasser, ThinkProgress: ''Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has been guarded, to say the least, about a corruption investigation going on in Wisconsin of which he may or may not be a part.

Five Things to Consider in the Walker Recall Vote
Robert Borosage, Campaign for America s Future: ''That Scott Walker survived the recall in Wisconsin is a tragic setback for the stunning citizen s movement that challenged his extremist agenda in Wisconsin.

The Kochs' Double Whammy
Robert Greenwald, Brave New Foundation: ''If any doubt was left about the power of big money in our politics, the Wisconsin election destroyed it. Charles and David Koch goosed Gov. Scott Walker s campaign with $10 million through their front group Americans for Prosperity, $1 million through the Republican Governors Association, and more from members of the 'million-dollar donor club' of financial titans that meet regularly at Koch-hosted secret summits?. Is it any wonder that Walker climbed steadily in the polls and ultimately won?''
