The real sad part of all of this is that the elected officials in Wisconsin have lost all their power to the state Supreme Court. Why bother having state reps at all? If all laws now have to pass through the courts, maybe we could save a lot of time and just start there.

If it is this close, I fear that the RATS and their Union Bosses will steal the election.

There are probably a dozen or so Union autos with stuffed ballot boxes in the trunk, just waiting to be dispatched to the appropriate precincts.

I don't want to rain on anybody’s parade - but a quick review of the precincts yet to report shows that they are mostly from counties that have already voted heavily in favor of Kloppenburg. As usual, the progressives hold a few cards to be played late in the game so they know exactly how many votes they need to manufacture in order to win. Prosser loses.

Yep, they’ll be finding boxes of ballots in car trunks and under the stairs in church polling places for months to come.

Ya know, I really think we are going to need a huge turnout for any Republican candidate in 2012. The lunatics are going to be out in full force for B. O.

The union bosses for public sector unions are the politicians. Private industry is another matter.

>>>> With all due respect, Franken did NOT steal the election from Coleman. >>>>

Not sure I agree. While the Coleman camp may have gotten outsmarted in the recount, I suspect the election was stolen on election night.

In 2000, Robert Cook did an “Explicit statistical evidence of massive ballot tampering in Palm Beach, Fl” as reported here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1054629/posts

The entire article is not reproduced in the FR posting, but it can be found elsewhere on the net, and the article includes this observation:

“Palm Beach County was one the last counties in Florida to release its voting results, and the Palm Beach County results were critical in a last minute “surge” in Gore votes that reduced Bush’s lead from 50,000 votes (in Florida overall) to less than 1500. Late delivery of votes, with the specific precinct vote count delayed until the required number of votes is known, is classic symptom of local election fraud. It DOES NOT prove fraud, but late delivery of vote results is the most common way of tampering with the vote, and is essential if ballot tampering is involved in the vote fraud. Late delivery of fraudulent votes has happened in several previous democratic elections at the national level, showing that the individuals involved had close knowledge of previous fraud and its successes.”

(I don’t remember for certain, but I believe Miami-Dade county was also late in reporting its final tally, sitting at 99% reported all night.)

I was reminded of Mr. Cook’s statement while watching the returns in the MN Senate race. Coleman had a nice lead with 99% of the precincts reporting, and that figure remained at 99% as more votes ‘trickled in’ from Cook county (Duluth) and the vote gap dwindled until Coleman’s lead disappeared.

Now the Wisconsin votes sits at 99% with most of the late reporting from precincts favoring Kloppenburg. I fear that as the rest of the results ‘trickle in’ Prosser’s lead will vanish.

I hope I’m wrong.

Revolution will come if they keep acting like America is a banana republic... which we are mighty close to becoming.

A President with BALLS and Mark Levin as Attorney General, would ensure that the RICO ACT would be used to jail all of the anti American union leadership.

How bad was Doyle? Was he a Soros-type Democrat who would have stacked the board with the most venal Democrat-Socialists?

During the 2000 debacle relating to recounts. It was attributed to the senior, not junior.

What happened in Duluth (Two Harbors, actually) was simple human error - the election tape said Franken 1700 votes (or some such number), but when the election judge recording the ballots wrote down the number, she left only put down 700 votes. No "late surge" or other fraudulent attempt. People forget that in the 2006 Senate race in Minnesota between Klobuchar and Kennedy, which Klobuchar won in a route, there was a much, much greater shift in the votes between election night and final certification.

What happened in Minnesota was not what happened in Washington or other races.
