Interesting thought ala Scott walker
After the recall elections are done and the Dems take control again this may be something to consider.

Wisconsin Impeachment Rules.
Removal

The governor may be removed from office through an impeachment trial<6> or through a recall election.<7> An impeachment trial is carried out by the Wisconsin State Assembly, if a majority of its members agree to the impeachment. A governor may also choose to resign from office. Four governors have resigned for various reasons, and none have been removed from office through impeachment, although Arthur MacArthur, Sr., who, as lieutenant governor, became governor upon the resignation of William Barstow, was removed after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Barstow's opponent in the election, Coles Bashford was the election's legitimate winner.<8>

2. I figure most likely
Along with repealing all the crap they have passed since they started. Will be worth watching for sure.

3. The reality is that it's going to take more than the recall elections for the Dems to take control.
Even if we manage to take the Senate and the large job of successfully recalling Walker the Republicans will still control the legislature for 2012.

Impeachment without conviction doesn't mean much and the Republicans will still control the legislature next year.

It is not going to be a simple or easy matter to undo the evil that the Republicans will have done to this state for a year and more.
