Video: Big turnout for Wisconsin recall election

The historic vote brings an end to a brutal campaign between Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. NBC's Ron Allen reports.

Big turnout can mean that DEM has a shot.

But if not, then Dem can still win one of the 4 senate seats up for grabs, then DEM is in control of Wis. Senate. Then Walker, even if retained, will have a hard time to stay the course of 'his way or highway.'

Mr. Walker, the dictator, this is democracy, not a dictatorship.

    Since when is winning by some 20% a close election? The "so called" news media and pundits are a bunch of jerks and sore losers!!

      The rats are scurrying for cover!

      Too funny!

      The LINK is broken on MSNBC for anyone to comment on this historic win!

      This is HUGE!

      I can only imagine and chuckle at the backpedaling and downplay!!!

        A better metaphor and analogy would be like "cockroaches scurrying for cover when you turn on the light".

          Fair turnaround would be a huge spike of the football and even get penalized for "excessive celebration".

          You deserve it Gov. Scott Walker, congratulations on standing your ground!

          Unions and Liberal Democrats are the big losers in WI: now.. Gov. Walker won big and so did all GOP State Senators that were in the recall election.. Most WI: voters weren't fooled by all the the lies and dirty tricks the Unions and Liberals tried..
