Tuesday was a bad night for the labor movement. In Wisconsin, with only token opposition, incumbent Gov. Scott Walker got 97 percent of the vote in the Republican primary, and almost as many votes were cast for him than in the entire Democratic primary combined. This is a bad sign for Democrats. The percentage of the vote Walker received seemed more appropriate for Mugabe than the former county executive of Milwaukee.
The 97 percent of the vote Walker received may seem insignificant. After all, he faced only one token candidate.

Then again, so did Barack Obama in West Virginia, and he got about only 60 percent of the vote running against a federal inmate.
