I'm looking for explanations of why it's a big deal or not. Hell, a little deal or not and why.
Any takers?

Wisconsin State Senate Majority is... Democratic no more. (http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/cullen-to-leave-democratic-caucus-in-state-senate/article_b13c6b52-d5c8-11e1-90b2-001a4bcf887a.html)
16-16-1 now, thanks to Senator Jim Cullen bailing out of the Democratic party.
Democrat John Lehman just barely defeated Republican Van Wanggaard in the June Mega-Recall, with results certified earlier this month and flipping control of the state senate to the Democrats.
When the party regained control, Cullen, who had fled with the rest of the Democrats but was willing to work with Walker on reforms after returning to the state, was denied chairman status on any committee. He felt insulted, has walked, and the three-week-long Democratic majority is over.
Three weeks of non-control after tens of millions burned.
