Romney congratulates Walker on historic win

In five months I hope to be switching around the names in that headline. But tonight it's Mitt Romney who is saluting Scott Walker.
I congratulate Scott Walker on his victory in Wisconsin. Gov. Walker has demonstrated over the past year what sound fiscal policies can do to turn an economy around, and I believe that in November voters across the country will demonstrate that they want the same in Washington, D.C.

Tonight's results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin. Gov. Walker has shown that citizens and taxpayers can fight back – and prevail – against the runaway government costs imposed by labor bosses. Tonight voters said 'no' to the tired, liberal ideas of yesterday, and 'yes' to fiscal responsibility and a new direction. I look forward to working with Gov. Walker to help build a better, brighter future for all Americans.
Three years ago I participated in a conference call with Romney. I asked him about the problem of overreaching public sector unions, Romney decried the typical negotiation of the time. "No one at the bargaining table is representing the citizens," he said.

In Wisconsin, Scott Walker, the only governor to survive a recall election, is doing just that now.
