On Tuesday, June 5th, Scott Walker successfully survived a recall election, beating Democratic candidate Tom Barrett. After the election was over, many Republicans spoke about the election that could play a deciding role on the Presidential Election in November.

“Governor Walker has demonstrated over the past year what sound fiscal policies can do to turn an economy around, and I believe that in November voters across the country will demonstrate that they want the same in Washington, D.C.,”

Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney said on the night of Walker’s recall win.

“Tonight’s results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin.”

Even on Thursday, Republican Governor of Virginia Bob McDonell, told Your World host Neil Cavuto, Romney could now be in play to Wisconsin, a state that up until now has been heavily Democratic.

“What I do think,”

Governor McDonell told Cavuto,

“is that the issues that Scott Walker campaigned on — and that is being honest with people about the need to rein in spending and cut taxes and create jobs and have a commonsense fiscal policy — those are the same issues that Mitt Romney’s going to be campaigning on against Barack Obama.”

In his interview with Cavuto, McDonell, would also acknowlege the fatigue that has been placed on the state of Wisconsin. McDonell informed Cavuto of how Wisconsin has been through three recalls in just the last year including one for a judge, the legislature and the lieutenant governor.

The amount of money being spent on the election could be some of the fatigue McDonell is talking about. It was reported today that the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign said, “

Counting the $44 million dropped on Senate recalls last summer and the additional money spent on the four Senate recall races and lieutenant governor’s recall contest this week, $125 million to $130 million was spent the past year on recalls.”

At the end of the interview, McDonell would tell Cavuto that the blue state of Wisconsin could be getting a little changing of color since Walker’s win, saying,

“I’d call it purple.”

FYN also got a chance to catch up with Jack Smith, the local citizen who went to Wisconsin on behalf of the political process with the North Georgia Tea Party Alliance.

When asked what kind of effect the outcome of the election will have on the country, Smith said,

“I believe the outcome has helped to preserve our electoral system. This outcome should prevent any other recall attempts based on policy differences.”

Smith also said that he felt like the Tea Party did leave an impact on the election, saying that although many people believed they were only there for Walker and not the process, they did cover a lot of territory.

Also, when asked if he thought the Tea Party would have a similar effect on Romney winning the election Smith said,

“Yes, but only because we will be encouraging people to get out and vote.”

Although things now might be finally over in Wisconsin, its seems as though the Election road for Romney and Obama is just getting started. FYN will continue to bring you coverage of the 2012 Election.
