Fond du Lac in, Hopper up by 2%!!!
Of course, I had no idea about the ballots that were not being reported. The Wisconsin GOP was optimistic all night long though and were proven right in the end.
SykesCharlie Charles Sykes GOP source: Darling will pull ahead when Oz/Wauk/Wash votes come in.
You’ll only have to watch the first hour of 2012 results.
If it’s a Reagan landslide style killing, it’ll all be over quickly.
The AP is definitely not on top of this. They still haven’t called Olsen’s district, and his opponent would have to get all the votes from here on out to win. The WI people have already called that.
As I posted, AP updated their numbers.
“WE ARE DOOMED! oops that was my DU post.”.......That was funny..so far they are booing on the Ed show LOL
BFL
Whew; that’s a relief.
Come on, when was the last time you saw a pessimistic hobbit? Really.
GOP saying Darling will pull ahead with Oz/Wash/Wauk County counts.
Please take note of that fact that MSNBC has not one, NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN on air tonite.
They wouldn’t be a BIASED NEWS SOURCE, would they???
Just try to remember that the Conservative Party was born in New York, and we actually got one Conservative U. S. senator elected, who, when the time came, was too good to be re-elected. Westchester County isn’t ALL democrat & RINO, although I know it seems that way at times.
With five precincts reporting in Washington County, Republican Alberta Darling leads 1,925 to 567 for Sandy Pasch
You are brave going onto MSNBC. I may have to go over there just to gloat if we can get 5 out of the 6 confirmed.
Election night 2008 was one of the worst nights in my life. My first words...
We've lost the country.....
Then along came the Tea Party, and we're getting her back! :)
Still sticking to my prediction of an hour ago.....Reps win 5 of 6, only Kapanke goes down (as a true patriot sticking to his principals of course.)
