      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.
