But to imply that he did so while overcoming a 'massive' effort by the Democrats is a wee bit disingenuous. The facts are that those contributing to Walker's campaign--who are unknown because of the Supreme Court decsion--outspent his opponent, buying mostly attack ads, to the tune of 7-to-1.
If you want to argue about the results of the election, from a money perspective, it wasn't really a fair fight.

You miss my point. I don't care about how much money was spent DEFENDING Gov. Scott Walker.
The Democrats and the Unions picked this fight. They set up the battlefield.
They put everything they had to bear in beating Walker like a drum.
They failed miserably and are "bloody" and reeling, no matter how you or anybody wants to spin it.
The Unions, in a very public way, showed their enemies how weak they are.
This did nothing but hurt the union cause. It's going to be harder to bluff anyone anymore.
The money is the least of it. The Democrats crashed and burned.
