Analyst: Wisconsin shows union battle is 'political dynamite'
(CNN) -- Wisconsin Democrats' failed effort to seize control of the state Senate in Tuesday's special elections left some Republican groups cheering, but analysts in the state cautioned against seeing the results as a national rallying point for the GOP.
"Yesterday overall was probably a political draw," said Mordecai Lee, a political science professor with the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee.
Republicans held onto four of six state Senate seats in jeopardy Tuesday, according to Wisconsin news media. The state said official results will begin to arrive Thursday.
"Wisconsin voters rejected the reckless spending of Wisconsin Democrats and the downgrade-inducing policies of their Washington counterparts," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement hailing the results. And Tea Party Express chief strategist Sal Russo added, "Wisconsin has set an example that the nation as a whole should follow."
Wisconsin's Democratic Party, meanwhile, said the elections "showed just how vulnerable Republicans are in the November 2012 elections -- and how vulnerable Gov. (Scott) Walker is to a recall election himself." There was "significant Republican advantage" in the recalls, the party said.
Democrats had hoped to build momentum to oust Walker, who was elected in November and can't be recalled until after he serves a year in office.
The recall elections, sparked by a battle over union power and Walker's controversial legislation earlier this year restricting collective bargaining, ended up focusing mostly on broad economic issues, said Charles Franklin, political science professor with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"The Democrats, the unions, failed to send the message they wanted to send," he said. "Is this an absolute ratification of Republican policies? No, I don't think so.
"It shows that this is an issue that Republicans may prevail on, but they prevail only after a tremendous fight and tremendous expense," he added.
Money from outside groups flowed into the state to fund the re-election battles, leading to a slew of television ads in the districts.
A Democratic incumbent state senator held onto his seat in a previous recall election in July, and two other Democrats will be on the ballot Tuesday.
And Franklin said there was another important lesson for the country in Tuesday's elections: The turnout was "stunning." The union battle that drew national headlines invigorated voters, he said.
