Jon Terbush of TPM reports that almost 80% of public union members disapprove of the Governors strong-arm approach to governance. 67% of families with children in school disapprove, with 54% disapproving strongly.

I have felt that this would be a victory for Unions and for Democrats, but I am shocked by how fast Governor Walker's political ship is sinking.

Hallelujah for those brave protesters, marching and standing in the bitter cold of a Madison winter. We must do all that we can to help them, and ourselves, to press onward in this fight for human rights and the dignity of working people.

There is no time to rest on our laurels. We must destroy this anti-labor virus in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana before it spreads to other parts of the country. This is a battle between the people and the oligarchs. At this moment, the people appear to be winning.
