Walker fighting with both hands, much money

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has two new ads going, one against each of the leading Democratic contenders to face him the June recall.

He can afford it, with $12,171,840 on hand. One of the top Democrats, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk has gotten just $16,785 on her own. Another group, Wisconsin for Labor, is on track to spend $2.3 million for Falk. As you can see from the great money tracker on the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin politics are all about Walker -- he's got 10 times the money of the Republican Party and seven times the Democrats'.

Pure bonus read: Democrats wrestling with how -- or even whether -- a Democratic governor would restore the union rights taken away by Governor Walker.
