Video: Wisconsin governor fights recall efforts



>>> the effort to recall governor scott walker collided with the annual lighting of wisconsin's christmas tree at the state capital . take a look at this. this is an incredible sight. protesters turned their backs as governor walker lit the tree. many carrying recall walker signs. recall organizers have more than half the signatures they need to trigger a recall. governor walker says he's taking this effort, this recall effort seriously.

>> do i take the recall seriously? absolutely. if the unions who spent in total there was about 40 plus million dollars spent on six senate recall elections in my state , i spent $13 million running for governor. so if that many outside influences of my state are going to come in, i'm going to take that seriously no matter what.

>> joining me via skype milwaukee daniel, thank you for your time. protesters turning their backs on governor walker there. this image reminds people how tense and i guess how the anger exists there. this is not the headline as it was several months ago. the anger and the divide still exists in that state .

>> the hostility is clearly still here. you know, early on in the recall process, i was telling people i thought the first 300,000 signatures would be easy to get. it would be the second 300,000 would be difficult. it's been much easier than anyone expected. even the democrats have been surprised how quickly they have been able to gather signatures this time. the electorate is here is undecided. there aren't many people undecided about who scott walker is.

>> he's done ads to counter the recall. what else is he doing to shore up the support in that state . he's incredibly unpopular.

>> he's shoring up in the state by going out of the state . he's going to a number of locations. in fact, sometimes we don't even know where he is until we see in the media that he's in another location. the other thing, as you said is tv. look at the numbers today. it appears in just the last four weeks he spent $1.7 million, which would be the equivalent of what you would expect in the final month of a gubernatorial campaign here.

>> that's interesting that you would take his message out of state . as you know, that was part of the influence, the brothers influencing this governor's agenda against union workers in that state .

>> actually the allegations have gone both ways. you just heard him talk about out of state unions and how much money they spent here.

>> you're right.

>> both sides are trying to play that up. he's got a lot of support, a lot of national publicity. so he's gone to a number of locations where people like what he has to say and raise money . in this race, he can raise as much money typically in a governor's race someone can contribute $10,000 to his race. in a recall lec, wisconsin has this unusual thing that allows him to raise unlimited contributions. so that's part of the reason. he can raise as much as he wants anywhere across the united states .

>> all right, daniel. we'll see what happens. both sides still digging their heels in there. thank you very much. a
