Baldwin says Tuesday's results will 'reverberate throughout the country'
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin kicked off a phone banking effort on behalf of Dem recall candidates last night by telling volunteers that the entire nation is watching their efforts.
Baldwin, D-Madison and a likely candidate for U.S. Senate next year, said on a training conference call held by Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee that "closing the deal... is a process that happens one on one."
She said her colleagues in Washington are constantly asking about the latest developments in the Badger State because "these battles are being fought everywhere." And she predicted that today's recall elections involving six state Senate Republican incumbents would answer the question of "in this day of big huge money power politics ... can the people fight back and succeed?"
"The noise that’s going to be made when they end tomorrow ... is a noise that’s going to reverberate throughout the country," Baldwin said.
