Contract negotiations are usually a quiet affair, but Republican Gov.-elect Scott Walker ignited a bitter debate when he demanded last month that the current administration stop negotiations.

On Wisconsin. Republicans swept both state houses:
Democrats currently control the Assembly 49-45 with two independents and three vacancies. Democrats have an 18-15 majority in the Senate. In January Republicans will hold a 60-38-1 majority in the Assembly and 19-14 in the Senate.
...and took the U.S. Senate with TEA partier and businessman Ron Johnson.
Oh, look, Dem U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl is under 50%.
Let's stun some more Dems.
