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.

Elections these days are often the result of how much money you raise and spend. Or how much someone else spends in your behalf. You're right; Walker's opponents "put everything they had" into winning the election. It turned out that what they had was nowhere near enough. Walker's supporters and donors from outside Wisconsin outspent his opponent 7 to 1. Mostly in attack ads. To analyze the results of the election without taking that into consideration might feel good...but it's inaccurate.
