even before the polls closed i was at a wisconsin state fair.try, by the way. you've got to get there. you know, the cream puffs there, they couldn't be any better. i tell folks in chicago, come on up. it's closer than springfield and a lot better. the other thing i've heard that night and for weeks now, people were sick. $30 million in two, through months. i spent $13 million in 18 months running for governor. thp spent $30 million or more in the groups that came in here. every ad almost an attack. the people in the state had had it with the ongoing seemless endless elections and endless attack. they want us to get back to work. the appetite among the average voter really is they don't look forward to another recall election. they'll wait until next november and wait for elections until then. >> jonathan capehart, to put you back on the couch and being self-aware, i'm also noticing, in addition to reaching out in ways that you didn't before, am i wrong in noticing a change in tone? because i seem to recall when you were first elected, a very co

with all the talk about food, i'm glad i'm going to the wisconsin state fair next week to eat cream puffs recall, they got two. the republicans stay in charge in the senate. this really was a referendum on a number of -- a number of republicans have said, about you. >> well, there is no doubt, voters last november wanted us to focus on jobs and fixing our budget. we've done that, balanced their budget without raising their taxes and improved the economy, our job growth in the first six months is twice the national average. i think they affirmed that on tuesday and they said along the way, they want us to figure out ways to work together, do more for jobs 'cause it's not happening in washington. >> steve: does this win for the republicans in wisconsin say anything about national politics next year? >> i think it does. i think it's a message not only in wisconsin, but state houses across the country and really in washington that people want leaders with courage. people want leaders who think more about the next generation than they do about the next election. and when people think that way,

bill: some horrific mom, a state fair in milwaukee, wisconsin, a sudden eruption of mob violence that is displayed now in the newly released 911 calls that tell us a lot about the horror that happened there. >> seven other cars, they just opened my door, and pounded my friend in the face. >> her eye is like bleeding. bill: there's a lot more and it's not clear what sparked the chaos, witnesses say a dispute over race may have been a factor, two dozen people, at least seven officers said to be hurt in milwaukee. alisyn: new video to show you this morning showing the trio of fugitive siblings, the doherty family are the subject of a nationwide man hunt after they opened fire on a police officer in florida and then robbed a bank in georgia. this is video of the high speed chase that sparked the crime spree. meanwhile, we are getting word of possible new leads in this case. sheriff chris noko is trying to catch them and he joins us now. good morning, sheriff. >> good morning, alisyn, thank you for having me. alisyn: a pleasure. we want to get these guys. where do you think they are today?

, oust him from office, restore decency, fairness and common sense to the public policy in wisconsin. >> you don't think he can make up to the people of the statef wisconsin after reaching out to mark miller today, and saying, hey, let's work on jobs, i think it's an interesting point because this country is focused on creating jobs, and now walker's talking about it, now that they've been through the recall. can you get 500,000 signatures needed to recall this guy? >> i think absolutely. the thing is, governor walker promised he was going to create 250,000 jobs here in the state of wisconsin, and he hasn't done that. as you pointed out, the unemployment rate has risen in the state of wisconsin in the last couple months. walker has taken away the tools that create jobs here in the state of wisconsin, a good solid public education system which he cut by $1.6 billion. the technical college system that he cut by $70 million. and the university of wisconsin system, which he cut by $250 million. that's not going to create jobs. and next year -- right now, massive layoffs aren't happening in our public schools, because there's a lot of federal recove

fair with a young married staffer. that became the dominant issue and yet the republicans almost held onto the seat despite that by 749 votes. the other republican loss was in southwestern wisconsin, state senator dan kepecke lost in a democratic seat that barack obama carried. the democrats lost seats. in the 8th district in the north milwaukee suburbs, alberta dar hreulg one where barack obama carried by four points. she held out, democrats by 8. it looks good at the surface and even better when you look at the details of where the republicans won and lost. jenna: it's interesting to look at the issues that most of us don't have insight on. some are pointing to the state to see what is going to happen in 2012. we are far away from november 2012. how do you handicap that? >> reporter: it does give some indications. in wisconsin it took a local issue to energize the democratic base. if i were a democrat i'd worry about the ability to duplicate the angst. how can you do that in florida, colorado, new mexico, virginia. democrats have to say can we duplicate that elsewhere. it will be hard for them to do so. whatever the democrats did on intensity. if you're against something you're always

states have changed the voting laws to change the contribution of employees. in wisconsin and, that was done, but there were also tax cuts and capital gains. where is the fairness here? when you have entities who pay less taxes as a corporation than the wisconsin custodian, where does the governor say we need to go after this in terms of benefits when the average benefit across the nation is about $400 to $450 a month? where is the fairness when that happens? yet no one on your side of the debate talks about taxing billionaires. >> i think arguing about taking the collective bargaining offer of the school board, the school board was elected by unions. we have examples where reformers come into office, causing the union to mobilize, if that is the dynamic, does not make sense that that is some perversion of democracy? then we have to address it by taking some of these rights away or something else like that. >> first off, we now argue using the exceptions to make the case. there have been lots and lots of elections, whether it is school board elections, senatorial elections, other kinds of elections, where lots of people have gotten engaged. i have often seen th
