bjbj"9"9 #r|C GWEN IFILL: Voters in five states cast ballots today in critical primary contests.
But all eyes were on Wisconsin, and its high-stakes gubernatorial recall. After months of rallies,
phone calls, and door-knocking, Wisconsin voters finally get their say today. Republican
Gov. Scott Walker was hoping to avoid becoming only the third governor in U.S. history to
be recalled, his opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the same man Walker defeated
in 2010. Both have spent millions of dollars in a bitter contest. WOMAN: I voted for Scott
Walker once, and I want to make sure he gets in again. MAN: Scott Walker was elected to
legislate, not to dictate. GWEN IFILL: Voters in a handful of other states, including California,
New Mexico, Montana, South Dakota and New Jersey, also cast ballots in presidential
primaries, tossup congressional races, and local contests. Former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, who clinched the GOP nomination last week, met with supporters in Texas today.
MITT ROMNEY (R): Three-and-a-half years in as president, with America in crisis, with
23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work, he hasn't put forward a plan to
get us working again. Now, I know we're getting close to an election, so he will come out
with one soon. GWEN IFILL: President Obama hit the campaign trail to raise money in New
York City yesterday, taking direct aim at his Republican foe. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:
And now they have got a nominee who is expressing support for an agenda that would reverse the
progress we have made and take us back to the exact same policies that got us into this
mess in the first place. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) GWEN IFILL: Mr. Obama was joined on the stump
by his most recent Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton, who said a Romney victory would
be calamitous. gdn2 urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags country-region urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags
