Madison, Wis. (AP) -- When a little-known liberal challenged a conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, the once-sleepy race suddenly looked like a backdoor way for Gov. Scott Walker's opponents to sink his agenda.
Then a clerk discovered 14,000 unrecorded votes that vaulted the incumbent into the lead. Experts said the results represented a draw for the governor: He didn't lose, but the slim margin means he didn't win big, either. And the close contest could help ensure Walker's opponents stay energized for the next round.
The outcome also improves the odds that Walker's collective bargaining law would survive a legal challenge before the high court. Yet Prosser's lead, if it holds, does not amount to a clear public endorsement of the governor's policy.
The conservative "didn't win by the margin everyone expected him to win by," said University of Wisconsin-Green Bay political science professor Michael Kraft. "If I were Walker, I wouldn't be saying everything is just dandy and people love me."

"If I were Walker, I wouldn't be saying everything is just dandy and people love me."
And so, the AssPress has decided how things should be in Wisconsin.
Any good public official wouldn’t worry about the next election, only what’s best for his constituents.
Remember the old adage, you lose by 1, lose by a million. You're still a loser.
“If I were Walker, I wouldn’t be saying everything is just dandy and people love me.”
On the other hand, the Dims blew 3.5 million on this one AND FAILED, so I guess the folks don’t love their thug a$$es either, eh professor?
Wow this article is a spinning crock of s**t.
“Then a clerk discovered 14,000 unrecorded votes”
No, 14,000 recorded votes that had not been reported.
So, if the Leftist Shrew had won by a couple of hundred votes, that would have been a great victory for the left, but if the conservative judge wins by 14,000 votes, that is too close to call a real victory for the conservatives.
Thanks, AP, for your wonderful impartiality.
What it means is that the Labor Goons and Union Thugs who canvassed the State with all the power and might of the RAdical Left in this country STILL couldn’t defeat the pro-American candidate.
We won, you lost, deal with it.
I would have to say it is impossible for a single race with one winner to yield “mixed results”.
Experts said the results represented a draw for the governor: He didn’t lose, but the slim margin means he didn’t win big, either.

In the land of the Democrats, any Patriot win is a GOOD win.
Nice to see the lickspittles in the press are conceding the loss - I pretty much expected the article would start to lay the groundwork for some convoluted way in which the donkeys could attempt to resteal the election.
My understanding is the numbers were misreported to the AP but these were in fact recorded votes. Of course, this article is FROM the AP, so I'm not surprised they may get this wrong.
Yeah, just like they decided how the election should be called when they had Klopp by 204.
I'm afraid we haven't seen the worst of it yet.
There you go, one of my favorites. In fact I’m going to save it to hard drive in my *Loser Lib* photo folder this time.
One of the funniest pics that I’ve ever seen. I don’t believe there are any emotional pics of conservatives. It’s always libs.
Tens of Thousands of selfish, ignorant liberals demanded to be heard. The rest of us said “We heard you, you suck.”
