I was EXACTLY on with both my numbers and my analysis. Both Walker and Johnson won by IDENTICAL 52-47% margins. Both benefitted from huge turnouts in Republican areas and by underperformance of the Dems in their strongholds.
We have dismantled the Democrat machine in this state. We took two House seats (and almost a third), the Senate seat of Feingold, the governor's mansion, and both the State Senate and House. The democrat majority leaders in both the state senate and house were defeated in the re-election bids as well. NO state had a bigger change from blue to red than Wisconsin, which is why you will only read about it at places like FR and conservative web sites. The MSM will ignore us cheeseheads, but our 43 yr old newly elected Gov is a rising star, Paul Ryan will be heading the budget committee in the House, and Ron Johnson will bring his common sense conservatism to the US Senate. A day to celebrate here in the land of cheese, beer, and brats!!
What a great day!
Ron Johnson gave such a great speech last night.
Newly rejected Russ Feingold acted like an angry child during his speech last night. What a pleasure it is to give him his pink slip!!!
Add MINNESOTA if Emmer wins the recount......
For the first time in my life I’m proud to be from Wisconsin.
Just kidding. But way to go fellow Badgers!
Too bad I(we) have to put up with Kind for at least two more years.
I am lucky enough to vacation on Washington Island and was there during the campaign and as an outsider (california) I was impressed with ALL of the candidates Wisconsin had to offer. As conservatives purity of ideology is not everything, we need good right thinking people with integrity and someone we would be proud to further our cause. Wisconsin did that this year and will make a huge difference in furthering conservatism.
Liberty has hope in Wisconsin. But the economy in the rust belt depends upon 2 things:
1: Geting rid of the parasitic unions.
2: Retaliation against foreign trade partners for currency manipulation, Communist slave labor, and other unfair trade practices.
This is going to become an increasingly pressing issue as China grows to become an ever greater military threat due to its growing industrial might all of which is due to us.
Currently the Federal Government occupied with domestic matters(all of which are unauthorized in the Federal Constitution) has been paying far, far too little attention to the pressing foreign matters, letting other country’s abuse us economically.
The Feds need to leave the domestic matters to our State and local Governments and actual focus on doing its actual constitutionally enumerated jobs which it has thus far been letting slide much to the detriment of our situation.
Michigan’s state government is all red. Governor, majority in house and super majority in senate. Time to bounce Stabenow and Levin.
Thanks for posting this bump! We did it!
I think someone decided there has been enough voter fraud up here. When my brother and I got to the polls, he had to re-register because he hadn’t voted in the last couple elections. Maybe all those crooks driving up from Chicago didn’t think filling out a new registration card was a good idea.
I’d say Big 10 states (i.e. the Midwest plus PA) are where we we made the most gains, including:
Minnesota: House seat, the state legislature
Wisconsin: Governor, state legislature, two House seats, Senate seat
Iowa: Governor
Illinois: a Senate seat, three or four house seats and maybe Governor
Indiana: a House seat, Senate seat, state House
Michigan: Governor, two House seats, state House
Ohio: Governor, two house seats, state House
Pennsylvania: Governor, Senate seat, five House seats, state House
Did I miss anything?
