power says we have turned up 11 bush wackers to try and one rebel negro. so here's a brief soumry of why blacks would fight as souldiers. first as i mentioned, no more than a few thousand. statistically insignificant. they were not legal. it was. a legal status until the last month of the war. the slaves who were put to work as laborers, in most cases of the eyewitness accounts of soldiers, the masters were making them laborers. saying, you know, i don't want to be on the frontline because i'd rather not die. chances of dying are greater when you're on the front line. i'm going to put a gun to your head and put you on the stwant front line. the reason for free blacks in the south showing loyalty is because they wanted to retain what rights they have. remember, on the eve of secession, every free state -- chief justice tawny makes it clear in dread scott. there were debates about enslaving all three blacks and the desire to retain what rights they had, they showed publicly a support for the secessionist, the confederacy. they don't want to be turned into sl

what you are seeing here is what scott wacker and paul ryan and others, this word "courage," come up, courage to take on tough problems and you will see more governors take on some of the more tough budget problems. the underreported story here is what is going on, on the ground in wisconsin related to the tea party. you have family groups, many family groups, and this is going to be the number one crowning jewel of the tea party movement in between 2010 and 2012. this is huge. but, this, this, what has been going on, the tea party groups have been on the ground for a year and that shows the real party of the tea party. >>chris: now we will talk about november. wisconsin is a blue state, not voted for a republican for president since ronald reagan won 49 states in 1984. if walker wins how translatable is this to romney having a chance in a state that has not gone republican for a quarter century. >>juan: it will energize the republican base in the state. and people will feel as if this is an opportunity there, not to be missed. the fact is, president obama didn't went by a lot last ti

sot walker wenscott wacker went walker went in there and did what he said he was going to do.on the promises. a lot of folks didn't believe it was a legitimate use of the recall, even folks who may have voted against walker in 2010 thought that this process had got even out of control. of course it helped that the policies he's put in place have benefitted the state of wisconsin, in terms of their budgetary situation and he's also created some jobs. so that also played into his victory last night. jon: it has been suggested that president obama didn't want to get involved in supporting tom barrett because obama didn't make any appearances on his behalf, the only thing he really did, as far as i'm aware is send out that one tweet extolling barrett's virtues and yet mr. obama still needs mitt romney according to yesterday's exhibit polling 51 to 44%. would it have hurt him that much to get involved? >> well, i think it was the prudent move on the obama campaign. i mean, look there were no undecided voters in west r-frplt everybody was lined up, the battle lines were drawn. there
