The last weekend before Election Day is the most important: Final rallies are held, get-out-the-vote efforts kick into high gear, and candidates make their last pitches to wavering voters.
The last few days leading up to the election on Tuesday in Wisconsin to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker was no different. Well, a little different. The campaign has garnered national attention, and the results will probably lead many news pages come Wednesday morning.
Below are some scenes from the campaign with Walker and Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
