MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin Democrats and their supporters will file petitions Tuesday demanding a recall election against Governor Scott Walker. But the Democrats are still not sure who will run against the Republican Walker. Over the last two months, Walker has stood out in the race by running a barrage of campaign commercials, describing how his budget and union bargaining limits have saved millions of tax dollars.

Among those reportedly interested are Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, La Crosse Congressman Ron Kind, former Wausau Congressman Dave Obey, state Senate Democrats Jon Erpenbach of Middleton and Tim Cullen of Janesville, and Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca of Kenosha.
