voluntary, not mandatory, half the membership in the last year just dropped out of the state and local unions. that tells me they're probably going to drop out of the democratic column also. >> well, i would caution you on that, larry. 30% of union members in ohio used to vote republican. that was until last year, when governor kasich tried to pass legislation limiting collective bargaining there. honestly, the labor movement here has always been historically strong. they're fighting hard, there are a lot of other issues in this thing but i might add one of the biggest ones is about governance. every state of the union is going through budget problems right now, and they're solving those problems because unions are coming to the table and making concessions and negotiating and making the deals that have to be made to resolve these budget crises. not here in wisconsin, because we have a governor that won't govern unless he gets his way 100% of the time all the time. >> robert costa, give you the last word on this one. isn't it precisely because walker's reforms have balanced the budget without
