Democratic State Senator Survives Wisconsin Recall Vote 
--------------------------------------------------------



Voters in Wisconsin have backed a Democratic candidate who faced a
recall over his opposition to the state's law stripping public workers
of collective bargaining rights. State Senator Dave Hansen beat out a
Republican challenger to retain his seat. Hansen and two other Democrats
have been targeted for opposing the law, while six Republicans face
recall votes for supporting it.
