Reporting helped to make it seem bigger as most reporters are liberal and they have an interest in every thing they cover being a "big deal" so I thought it was a big deal at first. Then I took a sidelong stare at the poll numbers and laughed. It was a giant waste of time and political grandstanding where the dems came off way worse then where they started because of the recall and actually fleeing the state like idiots. The initial recall of the state senators was solid politics since it had gotten national attention by then. If the Republicans hadn't (smartly) worked to delay the elections a few weeks the Democrats might've even taken the chamber which would've changed the dynamic. But by the time it came to actually recall him it was pretty obviously an error, the polling wasn't good and the best candidate they could find was literally the guy he beat in the first place who, surprisingly, Walker was able to beat. Did a lot of good for Walker's career though, now he gets to say "they tried to recall me and I won!!!"
