Why the Wisconsin Recalls Mattered
The Hotline: "While Republicans in Wisconsin have claimed victory for holding onto control of the state Senate in the face of an unprecedented recall effort, one prominent conservative seems to have interpreted the recall results a bit differently... Ohio Gov. John Kasich sought out a compromise with union leaders on his own controversial new law that restricts collective bargaining rights for public employees. Unions and their allies may have fallen one seat short of toppling the GOP majority in Wisconsin, but they seem to have, at least in part, convinced Kasich that the winds of public opinion may have shifted across the Rust Belt."
