The Wisconsin recall effort may have failed, but the election was more than just a race between Scott Walker and Tom Barrett. All across the country, Tea Partiers and national labor union officials closely monitored the results out of Wisconsin for signs of what this recall election means for the future of their movements.
Both sides have poured millions of dollars into the race they see as a potential turning point. Amy Kremer is the chairman of The Tea Party Express. Nick Nice is an organizer in Madison Wisconsin who has worked closely with the movement to recall Governor Walker for the last year and a half.
