I do believe there will be a recall of Scott Walker but he has to be in office for 1 year. There are several Republican senators that are being recalled. There's a couple that won their last elections with 1,000 or less votes so there is a good chance they can be taken down.
It's really tough to be in WI right now.
Here is what Russ Feingold has to say about the situation.
"He has damaged our state for many years to come," Feingold said, referring to Gov. Scott Walker. "And that's something that's not worth it for whatever political agenda or fantasy he might have about his future."
"What better illustration from our own state, some guy who's been a governor for just a few weeks -- he hasn't even shown he can pass one state budget -- decides to rip our state to shreds," Feingold said. "That's what big money can do."
He also pointed to a prank call Walker took last week, in which he thought he was talking to billionaire David Koch, a major campaign contributor to Republican causes.
"To speak the way Gov. Walker did to this guy, to act like he was part of this guy's agenda, rather than Wisconsin's agenda, was to me one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our state," Feingold said.
As for the 14 Democratic senators who fled the state to avoid a showdown on Walker's budget repair bill, Feingold said it was an unusual situation that would not likely repeat itself.
"What they're doing is to stop what is essentially a fraud."
