Wisconsin Governor Election Results Show Scott Walker Winning Over Mary Burke
By The Huffington Post, Nov. 4, 2014
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) won re-election after a close race in which Democrats were holding out hope that they would be able to knock off a potential 2016 presidential contender.
Mary Burke, a businesswoman and political novice, surprised many observers when polls showed that she was running neck and neck with Walker up until the end. Democrats hammered the governor on his record on job creation, women's rights and a lingering ethics scandal, while Republicans accused Burke of outsourcing jobs and tried to tie her to national Democrats and President Barack Obama.
Walker has slipped out of Democrats' grasp in the past, surviving a recall election in 2012. First elected in the tea party wave in 2010, he has been high on Democrats' most-wanted list since he went after union rights in 2011. His efforts polarized the state and infuriated labor activists, making him a rising star for the conservative movement.
