Scott Walker Critics Say Effort To Recall Wisconsin Governor Likely To Prevail In 2012

MADISON (Reuters) - Wisconsin Democrats are increasingly confident that efforts to recall the state's Republican governor in 2012 will succeed, a top official said on Wednesday, after the party scored an early win in its battle to unseat Republicans who backed a controversial anti-union law.

Mike Tate, the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said his party's sweep of six unusual primary races on Tuesday night had energized the party's base, and he also expected to seize a majority in the state Senate in August recall elections.

Tate said Tuesday's primary races, where six real Democrats were unsuccessfully challenged by six stealth Republicans running as Democrats, had served as a dry run for the party's get-out-the-vote operation.

"What we're beginning to see is our momentum rolling downhill. Last night was a huge win for us," he said in a conference call with reporters.

1. Tues. was just the beginning. Walker and the Repugs

will regret roughing us up like they have.

2. If we win just 3 of those races for the recall - Walker is toast

that's my prediction.

3. Good. Cause he needs to GO

Other governors need to get the message as well.
