Who Is Really Winning and Losing in the Wisconsin Budget Bill Standoff? | On the Record

Special Guests | Dick Morris

DICK MORRIS, AUTHOR, "REVOLT": Walker's winning. The Democrats are losing. And the unions are losing big-time. They're working on a deal now. They're holding discussions, which is forced by two actions of Walker. One is, he cut off their pay. Secondly, he said that, If you ever set foot in Wisconsin, we'll arrest you and bring you into the Senate. And that means they can't go back and forth and visit. Before that, they were only liable to arrest when the legislature was sitting.

And finally, he made clear that unless they come back and vote his savings program, he's going to have to lay off 1,500 workers. So the clock's ticking, and I think they're giving in.

Now, they're negotiating. The key thing Walker wants to protect, and I don't think he's giving in on this and I don't think he will, is limiting collective bargaining to wages and benefits so that he can proceed with his education reforms. The other thing he wants is that the unions have to collect their dues, rather than have it automatically deducted. That'll cut their dues collections in half. And he wants them to pay more for health insurance and pensions.

He's going to win all of those elements. The two things he's going to compromise on are ancillary parts of his package. There's a limit -- a bill that says you can only negotiate a cost of living adjustment up to the rate of inflation in your contracts, unless the voters waive that in a referendum. That provision may be thrown out. And the other is he says that every year, the union has to stand for election with its own members and get kind of re -- recertified. That may be dropped also. And I think that might be a face-saving compromise for the Democrats. But a big victory for Walker.

[rpannier]

12. That was my thought

Dick's analysis
Hilary will never win the Senate seat in NY. Her threshold is 46%
She won't run for re-election because it will be too tough a fight and she'll likely lose to Priro if she runs.
Health Care Bill won't pass
etc
