Today, Wisconsinites go to the polls to see if they can recall enough GOP senators to take back the State Senate from the hands of Scott Walker-pandering Republicans. In ten hours, the people of Wisconsin could the recall six state senators most committed to Walker’s agenda of stripping collective bargaining rights and taking money out of the pockets of Wisconsin workers. This would be an enormous blow to Walker and his big business allies.

The Nation‘s John Nichols joined Ed Schultz live in Madison, Wisconsin last night live from a crowd of cheering, mobilized Wisconsinites, eager to create a victory for Main Street while Wall Street is flailing.
