In case anyone required more evidence that the real source of doom for Scott Walker isnt the recall but the John Doe investigation, consider that a day before the recall Walkers former top aide has flipped and is now working with the investigation.
According to the Wisconsin Democratic Party,
Scott Walkers closest political aide has just been named in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday as the source of damaging revelations that undermine Walkers claim that he has cooperated with the John Doe criminal corruption probe into his current and former administrations.
Tim Russell, who was hired or promoted by Scott Walker even after he was fired for stealing from a state agency, was said in court Monday to have given Milwaukee Journal Sentinels Dan Bice information that showed that, contrary to Walkers claims, Walker was stonewalling investigators all along.
The shocking revelation that Scott Walkers closest aide sought to damage Walker on the eve of Tuesdays historic recall election indicated that Russell was cooperating with a prosecution against Walker himself.

because I heard this weekend that over 200,000 absentee ballots had already been issued - so those folks did have all of the truth before they voted

they won't want to be associated with a loser who got caught.
