I think the last recall of a Governor was from my liberal state of California when they recalled Gov. Gray Davis (D) and replaced him with Schwarzenegger (R).

Between Jan. 1, 2011 and April 23, 2012? The numbers were updated since then.

"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker vastly out-raised and outspent his Democratic challenger in the state's recall election, largely on the strength of major donations from across the country.

One reason for that was a quirk in Wisconsin law, which lets a governor in Walker's situation bypass limits on political donations. Wisconsin law says candidates for governor normally may not take donations of more than $10,000 each. That was the limit under which Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the Democrat, operated in the recall election being decided Tuesday at the polls.

But as governor, Walker had a different set of rules. A somewhat obscure state law passed in 1987 says that when a governor is facing a recall challenge, the normal donation limits are suspended for "the payment of legal fees and other expenses."

"Fifty-nine percent of his overall contributions come from people in other states," Lueders says. And three-quarters of the largest donations — those of $10,000 or more — came from donors in other states. They include ardent conservatives such as Foster Friess of Wyoming, the best known benefactor of former presidential candidate Rick Santorum; and Bob Perry of Texas, who has given more than $4 million to Mitt Romney's superPAC, and in 2004 sponsored the Swift Boat ads that attacked Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts."

Pretty dumb to say democrats didn't go overboard trying to get this guy out. They failed. Unions over taxpayers failed. Big time.
 
Generally I am not a fan of recalls, they are expensive and a person is elected for a term that should be allowed to play out, unless they do something spectacturlary bad. I dont like what Walker did but... It did not rise to the level of what should allow a recall.
 
REmember when they wanted to change the constitution to allow Arnold to be president....

Now they want to change the presidents birth certificate to prevent him from being president.

read the Wisconsin State Journal article linked above....now it may be the Democrats wasted a lot of time and money arguing about who should be the Democratic candidate, but the fault isn't in Walker's fund raising.....the fault was in the Democrats campaigning........

Major donations = And three-quarters of the largest donations — those of $10,000 or more — came from donors in other states. They include ardent conservatives such as Foster Friess of Wyoming, the best known benefactor of former presidential candidate Rick Santorum; and Bob Perry of Texas, who has given more than $4 million to Mitt Romney's superPAC...

And why was this such an important election, I wonder?

Is it because the heavy-hitters backing Walker have a huge stake in putting the final nails in the coffin of workers' rights and the dent those rights put in Koch et al's bottom line?

The whole country watched while Wisconsin's great unwashed got duped into voting against their own interests. At least half the country watching applauded.

Propaganda works best on a fatigued, uninformed populace.

We ALL lost last night.

So you think the reason the vast majority of Wisconsin voters support Walker's reforms is because he spent a lot of money?

Walker will be removed for criminal activity but the agenda will continue...the Koch agenda. The GOP/Faux News/Breitbart(koch) clones will take us the rest of the way to hell. The lights are going out people.
