Once Mugabe's inflated currency was replaced by the American dollar, the economy expanded.

Update: 10:23PM - For those who were hoping that tea party sentiment was a one time affair in 2010, guess again. The recall election in Wisconsin was not an under-the-radar election. Big labor laid it all out on the line in and was rebuffed. If the question for November 2012 remains whether the voter turnout will look more like it did in 2008 or 2010, tonight was very good news for conservatism, the tea party, and Mitt Romney.

Original - GOP Governor Scott Walker has won the recall race in Wisconsin, beating back efforts from the left-wing groups and labor unions to force his ouster. It also appears that tea party favorite Rebecca Kleefisch, the Lt. Governor, will also win her recall election. Meanwhile, at least 3 of the 4 GOP senators up for recall in the state have large leads in their races.

Further reading for the November 2012 Presidential and Senate races in Wisconsin, and the impact of this recall election:

November momentum will depend heavily on the outcome of the June recall elections and the ability of big labor to get out the vote. If big labor is strong enough to oust Walker, they will probably have enough juice to carry Obama. If the Republicans beat back the heavily funded effort to oust them, this will point to Wisconsin being a very competitive race for both the presidential and senate contests. A GOP victory could provide extra momentum heading into November and remind the political establishment that the tea party is there to stay.

While many have attempted to claim that the WI recall election does not have any impact on the 2012 presidential election, I disagree. This race shows that the tea party enthusiasm is not just a one election fling and is here to stay.
