True. I wish he had. Too late for that now. The leaders of the WI State Senate GOP should have been involved. It would have been perfectly right for them to have showed him the door and informed him that he would no longer be as influential as he was before if he stayed. We need to develop a culture where that is an automatic whenever a leader in the community does that sort of thing. It is best for every party involved.

I do too, unfortunately the Republicans in Washington don’t. But Remember, the Rats still run Milwaukee County I’m sure and could do it right back by reporting erroneously and correcting later or finding ballots in the days to come. Darling will need a nice lead to avoid these pitfalls.

That is a pretty hard number to overcome. MSNBC is reporting Pasch down 48 to 52. Darling will win it.

Some might say that staying up late in Ohio to watch election returns from state races in Wisconsin is plain crazy.

Perhaps, but then again, they aren't FReepers. :)

Glad the results went our way (again) tonight.

Hopefully, none of the GOP wins will be close enough to warrant a challenge.

This will demoralize the Dems and make it possible to pick off one of the two Dem recall elections next Tuesday.

Would that some wise election officials would hold back some counts as was done with the Prosser election. It’s the only way to keep the process blind to the Demoscum.

There is very little of the city of Milwaukee in Darling’s district. The Milwaukee county areas remaining are apparently in the village of Brown Deer.

Darling still has much of the very conservative Mequon and a precinct in Menomonee Falls.

We have relatives, friends and neighbors who no longer will speak to us since February. People outside of Wisconsin have no idea how bitter things have become inside this state. The animosity and vitriol is unbelievable! These aren't long-lost relatives or neighbors or friends...these were people we thought were close to us. The leftscum propaganda and mind-control is blood-chilling. As Rush said, the left isn't cool, it is cold.

Maddow and DEM WI State Senator now spouting the “Can’t we all just get along” mantra ...

Maddow and the Dem are now begging the moderate Republican to switch seats or "work with the Democrats".

If Darling wins and the GOP holds the Senate, this will be a huge defeat for the unions and they know it. Yes, they won 2 seats, but one was expected and the other was incredibly close.

From Twitter:

fivethirtyeight Nate Silver by SykesCharlie Darling (R) now ahead in WI-SD8 after votes from Waukesha County. MKE votes still out, but Pasch (D) will probably be ~1800 votes short.
