Tom Barrett is the Democratic nominee for Governor in the 2012 recall election. That pits him against Scott Walker, who narrowly beat him back in 2010. Milwaukee Mayor Barrett won the nomination quite handedly against Kathleen Falk, the former Dane County Executive. Most of the unions endorsed Falk, but it was not enough to save her from a 58%-34% defeat by Barrett. The question now is whether union support and money will follow Barrett to the June 5th general election against Walker. There is only four weeks from the time of the primary until the general election. While anti-Walker support is strong, the unions must unify behind Barrett to defeat the sitting Governor. Walker will be touting his balanced budget and budget surplus to convince voters that he should remain in office.
