Barrett also lost a primary bid for governor against a fellow Democrat in 2002.
Barrett won the Democrat primary on Tuesday with a lot of help from his stronghold in Milwaukee.
Walker has been under fire since he attempted to do something about the budget shortfall he “inherited” as Dems are wont to say, from a two-term Democrat. MSNBC online news cited an “immediate budget shortfall of $137 million, projected to grow to $3.6 billion by mid-2013.”
