I have the feeling that Progressives including Green would look at a 
capitulation from Wisconsin Governor Walker on the issue of the right of 
public employees to bargain over benefits as a great victory.  While it 
would take a huge effort to win event that much of a concession, only to 
be achieved by giving back much more of their benefits than currently 
being considered, it would truly be a Phyrric victory,leaving unresolved 
many other attacks on future generations.

Kevin Donohue guest blogs at the Wonk Room today and lists 10 disastrous 
policies of the Wisconsin GOP 
<http://climateprogress.org/2011/02/27/pollution-scott-walker-wisconsin-gop/> 
that you have not heard about....  given the organizational and media 
attention paid to right to organize.

You can't win the war for the future with just a single victory.
