his legislation that stripped public employee unions of most of their collective bargaining rights. the recall is seen by some as a test of the walker approach many republicans hope to emulate nationwide. and as a pulse taking of the electric, months before the vote. >> it does indicate the passion of the voters, the interest in the issues and the polarization of the electorate and how the economy is going to dominate. so i think reading the results of wisconsin not so much for a republican win or a democratic win, but how these issues are going to play out and who has the stronger, more coherent message. >> reporter: republican heavy weight campaign for walker. bill clinton there for merit. estimates of out of state money in the campaign approach $100 million. looking live now at the walker party, and it is a party in wisconsin where they're waiting for him to come out and speak,

mitt romney has already weighed in saying this shows voters want to cut spending. the sentiment goes beyond wisconsin. he also talked about run away cost imposed by bosses and how to deal with that. interesting piece of information from the polls. apparently a relatively large number of folks who voted to keep walker in office said they prefer barack obama for the presidency in november. as we said, both sides will be spinning like crazy. back to you. >> interesting poll numbers. thank you, gary. the white house is now confirming the death of al qaeda's second in command. he is al-libi and there are reports that he died on a missile flying into northern pakistan. the obama administration will not go that far. at least not yet. >> the death is a major thing for the core of al qaeda. further damaging the group's morale and confusion and bringing it closer to its

ultimate demise. >> now, the white house says he had become the public face of al qaeda, appearing in propaganda videos, appearing in attacks he helped to plan. now, maryland will decide whether the speed cameras operating in jurisdictions are legal. the company that installed the camera received $16.25 for every $40 ticket issue. but according to state law, the contractor operating the cameras cannot be compensated based on the number of tickets issued. the county argues it is still legal because the company doesn't actually run those cameras. and tomorrow night is the grand opening of what will be maryland's largest casino. maryland live anne arundel mills, and it is set to open the doors tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. it will feature 3200 slots, and there are five restaurants slated to open june 20th.
