Tonight on The Ed Show on MSNBC:
"To say that this state is energized is really an understatement," Ed told Chris Matthews tonight during a live report from Madison, Wisconsin, on Hardball.
Ed's talking about, of course, the one million signatures that were delivered today demanding that Republican Governor Scott Walker face a recall election. If only half of those signatures are verified, Walker will face a recall vote.
Tonight from Madison, Ed welcomes three members of the Wisconsin 14: Democratic state senators Fred Risser, Kathleen Vinehout and Chris Larsen.
Ed will then turn to John Nichols, Washington Correspondent of The Nation, to discuss why this is such a big deal for the country.
GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney still hasn't released his tax returns, but now admits his tax rate is around 15 percent. You probably pay a lot more, right.
But if that isn't enough, Middle Class Mitt describes the $374K he made in speaking fees as "not very much." Democratic strategist Bob Shrum joins Ed to discuss how out of touch Mitt is with the middle class.
