you lost to scott walker in 2010. what makes you think you will beat him in the recall if you get the nod from the democrats? >> several things. that was with a terrible time for democrats. russ fiengold, legislators we ran in to the tea party buzz saw at that time. it's changed. people have seen what scott walker is all about. he never once mentioned during his campaign that he was going to end collective bargaining rights for public employees, yet that is what he did. i will restore those rights. >> along those lines, i have to ask you this, the unions are supportive kathleen falk. they are worry withed about their commitment to labor. how can you convince them you would be the right guy for the job? she signed a pledge saying she would go be a staunch supporter of collective bargaining when it's connected to the budget. but you didn't sign that. this is a real tough point for the unions right now. how are you going to correct that? >> i will tell you, what i said was that there are other avenues to make this a real

by extending the election, it gives scott walker the advantage by allowing scott walker to do this. he has been given a gift. >> the thing that surprises me today, the poll numbers has scott walker ahead. what explains this? clearly the sentiment seems to have shifted back to him to some degree at least. how do you understand that? >> he has been by himself on the air for three months with $12 million in television. that's a ton of money in wisconsin. he's in little markets buying thousands of points, repeating these lies that he said he fixed the budget. he didn't. he's working on jobs wisconsin and job loss but he hasn't had any opposition on the air. to be unopposed on the airwaves, being at 50% we have yet begun to fight and scat walker is still at this danger number. we're feeling pretty good about this. >> there is this issue sort of festering notion of a grand jury investigation relating to activity during the time that scott walker was the county executive in milwaukee. what is that? is there any real possibility that that will rise to his level or even if it does, do so by

well i don't think scott walker or the republicans in past cared about the constitutionality of it. everyone and their mother could see that this is an unconstitutional law violating. the rights of association to treated certain use different than others it was a rotten ought to begin with and not least of which was because it went and was most concerned with attacking the rights of people for the bargain collectively here the court struck down the process that required these huge be certifiably year in their ability to collect dues which scott walker was trying to get rid of but fundamentally at the heart of it we've seen a lot that wisconsin led the nation of jobless not only lived in the shoe job was to let the nation's political division is government was almost entirely paralyzed this is government and it all came from this rock which you would be unconstitutional then which we have heard is unconstitutional now but there's redress as you said before the citizens of wisconsin more than a billion strong to fix their name deficient recall scott walker and we're not going to be ta

as the rest of the news more than a year ago governor scott walker created a firestorm it was cancer with anti-union laws known today as act ten it subsequently led to over eight million signatures being turned into have governor walker recall from office and now it turns out that our town is itself unconstitutional a federal judge last week ruled that walker's anti-union law which limits collective bargaining rights and forces public unions to recertify once a year violates our number of our rights of the constitution in a strictly political move walker exempted police and firefighters from the anti-union law for example getting grounds for the call. last week to strike down the law because it violates the equal protection clause the constitution court also said it violates public workers pursed amendment rights so walker's wildly unpopular war against unions might all be for naught and as he prepares for the political fight of his life in a recall election how might this now unconstitutional law affect his chances of winning the latest coming out of the badger state graham's alinsk

everywhere. >> i think scott walker will end up being a hero. he took the $2.7 billion deficit and turned it into a surplus and all he does was have the public employees pay a small fraction toward their pensions and a small fraction toward health insurance. things most people don't have. he stood up for the working families in his state, and if he gets replaced, the contrast will be sharp and it will be negative toward his replacement. >> john, i want to know the effect on taxpayers everywhere outside wisconsin, all across the united states, if governor walker is recalled. >> well, it can potentially be broad if this vote predicts something else, something bigger across the country. public employee unions work for the taxpayers. the idea that they can vote themselves higher benefits turns democracy i think into tyranny. if the wisconsin voters vote the wrong way and this goes national, it will be a scenario americans work for the government rather than the government working for the people. it's a very dangerous signal. >> do you reject that co
