It was Excuse-a-palooza on Twitter tonight as top Democrats took to Twitter to share their gripes, grievances, and rationalizations for the Wisconsin recall whomping.

Donna Brazile and David Corn, ignoring the massive Big Labor subsidies that fueled the failed recall, blamed “outside money:”

Once more, this was a recall of Gov. Walker vs. Main Street. Wisconsin voters went with Gov w/Outsized money, not values. #where's the jobs?

— Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) June 6, 2012

This is not November. Democrats must look at the results, the outsized money, turnout, messaging and learn how to win against all odds.

The real lesson of the night: billionaires make a difference. And that means Rove et. al. will have an easier time rounding up villionaires.

Bill Maher was riding shotgun in the liberal waaaahmbulance:

#ScottWalker: this is what I mean when I say CitizensUnited made this a whole new ballgame. Same thing will happen to Obama if also outspent

David Axelrod clung bitterly to exit poll results:

Bad night in Boston…WI raises big questions for Mitt. http://t.co/S80IRjBr

The AFL-CIO swam in denial:

Win or lose, Scott Walker has joined ignominious company in suffering the humiliation of a recall election. 3rd ever. #wiunion

— AFL-CIO (@AFLCIO) June 6, 2012

Victory=humiliation? MT @AFLCIO Win or lose, Scott Walker has joined ignominious company in suffering the humiliation of a recall election.

And Barack Obama? Gigglesnort:

Obama Campaign Tries To Spin Wisconsin Recall Defeat: A "Strong Message Was Sent To Governor Wa http://t.co/ZJkLJKJW

The Obama campaign — which has largely kept President Obama himself out of the Wisconsin recall election — puts out a statement saying that a message had been sent to Gov. Scott Walker, despite his win.

“While tonight’s outcome was not what we had hoped for – no one can dispute the strong message sent to Governor Walker. Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites from all walks of life took a stand against the politics of division and against the flood of secret and corporate money spent on behalf of Scott Walker, which amounted to a massive spending gap of more than $31 million to $4 million,” Tripp Wellde, campaign state director, said in a statement.

Looks like Team Obama has trouble with message transmission and reception:

Let’s end this whine-fest with more unreality-based wound-licking from DNCC head Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz:

Despite the disappointing outcome, #WIrecall effort sent Scott Walker a message that his brand of divisive politics is offensive & wrong.

— D Wasserman Schultz (@DWStweets) June 6, 2012

Yep. Because nothing says civility role modeling like “Kill Scott Walker.”
