Stat of the Day: Wisconsin Edition

Union members voting against their own interest and having Karl Rove rub it in your face the next day:

We'll be talking about Tuesday's Wisconsin recall election for a long time to come.

The results were a historic setback for organized labor, which failed to oust Gov. Scott Walker in a citadel of modern progressivism. And how it must have stung that 38% of union households voted for Mr. Walker, up a point from 2010 when he was first elected.

This could be a self-reinforcing cycle, bought and paid for by Republican funders, perpetuated by those who continually vote against their own best interests.
