Walker Needs to look over his shoulder, his past election is catching up to him.

What could be the smartest move yet, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett made overtures about challenging Walker's policies, giving many the impression that he might run again. Getting people used to the idea that someone else may have a better answer, Barrett specifically, any further action by Walker or the legislature would make voters wish for something better. It's a great setup.

Wispolitics: Dems are buzzing about Tom Barrett's weekend comments, which many took as the Milwaukee mayor hinting he'll run again against Gov. Scott Walker if a recall election is held. Speaking at the annual Founders Day Dinner on Saturday night, Barrett tore into Walker over his push to change collective bargaining and talked about a possible recall election next year.  

“Regardless of who the candidate is, I will be out there with you and we’ll be out there together,” Barrett said, firing up the crowd. “And we will make him listen to the people of the state.” Barrett also said Walker wasn’t listening to the people of Wisconsin when he dropped a “bomb” on the state. “When you drop a bomb what do you expect to happen? You either expect to obliterate people or if they survive they’re going to come back and fight like they’ve never fought before,” Barrett said. "I’m here to tell you tonight I’m not, and we’re not done fighting for progressive values in this state."  

Another Barrett ally said the mayor’s comments were not an announcement and no decisions have been made … “We could turn the switch in a minute,” the Barrett source said.
