Wisconsin Democrats will extend their recall battle into next year with an effort to oust Republican Governor Scott Walker, possibly on Election Day 2012, the state’s party chairman said today.

One day after falling short of a goal to recall three Republican state senators and gain control of the legislative chamber, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said he would like to see a signature-gathering effort to force a vote “as soon as feasible.”

Republicans fended off four of six recall attempts yesterday. The outcome still left Walker and Republicans, who now hold a 17-16 majority in the state Senate, “vulnerable going into 2012,” Tate said today in a conference call with reporters.

Wisconsin has gone through six months of political battles since Walker used Republican legislative majorities to enact collective-bargaining curbs on most public employee unions in March. The governor, 43, said the restrictions were needed to save money for the state and local governments. Critics accused him of trying to crush unions, a traditional Democratic support group.

Typical bloomberg poo poo on a good victory!

... and then reverse engineer and re-engineer the vote tallying process in that county.

2 for 2 (at least) in shady election results from her.

People keep saying that and can't tell me.

thse seats were SAFE Rethug seats in November 2008, when then Candidate Obama carried the State handsomely, during that time they stayed Rethug, In 2011 after a continued recession, a divided Democratic Party and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$s of Koch loving cash, they swung to the Democratic Party.

So who should be worried?
