Democrats say GOP money bought Walker’s win in Wisconsin

In what might be seen as a sign that he felt stung hard enough to hurt, President Obama on Wednesday blamed Republicans outspending Democrats as the reason Gov. Scott Walker survived a union-driven recall election in Wisconsin on Tuesday.

Mr. Walker, however, said his victory, in which he topped Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a repeat of their 2010 showdown, should encourage presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to make a play for Wisconsin in the general election.
