So couple of big stories developing today..
First the recall election in Wisconsin pitting Governor
Scott Walker against his former opponent Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. It has big
national implications with both dems and the GOP pouring money into the state.
Right now most polls show Walker with a small but substantial lead. Former
President Bill Clinton campaigned there. So have some big name republicans.
There is a growing concern in the White House that a strong victory for Walker
could spell trouble for President Obama come November.. Neil Cavuto and Steve Brown
are there and will file reports for us.

recession.
