Labor tensions mark Wisconsin recall

The battle lines in the Wisconsin recall were supposed to be clear: Republican Gov. Scott Walker on one side, unions on the other, in a fight that would reorder the balance of power between government and organized labor.

Yet with less than two months until Election Day, the recall has turned into something more complicated — not just a war on Walker, but a debate within the Democratic coalition over exactly what the party’s message is going to be and how central a role labor issues ought to play.
