Four Republicans In Wisconsin Now Face Recall Over Anti-Union Bill

This is, quite literally, historic:

More than enough signatures have been collected in an effort to recall the fourth Republican state senator in Wisconsin, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Republicans just under a week for their signatures to trigger recall elections against Democratic senators. They have not yet submitted any.

Greg Sargent: "Here's what this means. Presuming all four elections take place -- which they all but certainly will, given the massive amounts of sigantures gathered in all four cases -- Dems will have matched the amount of recalls triggered in the state's whole previous history in less than a year."

Scott Walker, the Koch Brothers and their allies in both the Republican and Democratic Parties (and there are Dems on the payroll too - see Cuomo, Little Andy, for example) think they've won the union-busting battle.

We'll see.

When the recall effort garners four recall elections, matching the number of recalls in the state's history, in less than a year, there's clearly a lot of anger out there.
