20% turnout predicted, roughly the same as the last State Sup Court election. I predict Butler will lose, because the Milw County Exec race will bring out conservatives to vote for Walker and they will vote for Gabelman as well. Low turnout elections will help conservatives more than libs, as the UW students will stay in the dorms rather than vote like in the Pres primary. Conservatives, on the other hand will also be motivated to vote to abolish the “frankenstein’ veto that Gov Doyle has used to rewrite each budget he gets. Waukesah Co, Wash Co, and Ozaukee Co will turn out in big enough numbers, as well as Gabelman’s base in NW Wisc to put him over the top. Talk radio has been relentless in stressing the importance of defeating Loophole louie.
