Not really surprising, but it's odd that he comes right out and says it:
Wisconsin Senate leader admits union-busting bill is about defeating Obama.
State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald (reptile), the Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader, must have forgotten his talking points while appearing on Megyn Kelly's Faux News show. This afternoon he admitted on-air what many liberals have long-suspected: rescinding collective bargaining rights from state workers is Wisconsin is as much about the 2012 presidential election as Wisconsin's 2011 budget shortage.
As first reported by ThinkProgress, Fitzgerald told Kelly: "If we win this battle, and the money is not there under the auspices of the unions, certainly what you’re going to find is President Obama is going to have a much difficult, much more difficult time getting elected and winning the state of Wisconsin."
Or, this strategy could backfire.

Chaos Reigns in Wisconsin as Democrats Prepare to Return.
