Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a top figure in the Republican Party and often-mentioned vice presidential candidate , warned the party against reading too much into the results of theWisconsin recall election as a "harbinger" for the presidentialelection between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama . Daniels had two main points, appearing on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace . First, Daniels said that Gov. Scott Walker's resounding victory in the recall election was a signal that voters see the "fundamental unfairness" ofpublic-sector unions. But he cautioned against the party using thestate's results to project a national-scale implication thisNovember. "It would be a huge mistake for Republicans to misreadWisconsin as some kind of great harbinger," Daniels said. "Idon't see it that way at all. It's not even clear that Gov. Romneywill be that strong in Wisconsin." That's a different position than some other top members of theRepublican Party. After Walker's win on Tuesday, RepublicanNational Committee Chair Reince Priebus appeared on Fox News and gleefully said, "You bet it's a sign for November." Romney himself issued a statement directly after Walker's victorywas announced, saying "tonight's results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin." Just on Friday, the Republican National Committee held a conferencecall on the party's "transition" from the recall election to thepresidential election. Here's what Priebus said on the call,echoing his earlier messages: "What Tuesday's recall election also did showed the country that Mitt Romney and the GOP are in a good position to compete in Wisconsin in November , and we intend to put our best ground game on the field." Whatever the case, polls do show a closer race in Wisconsin than2008. A recent spate of polls showing bad news for Obama had him up by 5points in the state. Obama led by 7 points in Wisconsin exit polls, whichshowed he got 18 percent of support from Walker voters . Back to Daniels: He said the real message is that voters nowrealize that "money is being devoured by very high salaries, almostbulletproof job protection and huge pensions" in public-sectorunions. Wallace asked him if he thought there should be no publicsector unions. "I really think government works better without them. Ireally do," Daniels said.
