“Wisconsin high court race yields mixed results”
Unless your in Russia EVERY election will yield a mixed result.
Who writes these headlines?
Libtards poured everything they had into beating him and failed - I'd call that a pretty big win.
The vote was unprecedented and Walker has already stated that he is not using this as a referendum. Not only did 19 traditionally Republican counties vote Democratic, but no conservative judge has ever been so close to being unseated.
It looks like this will be a victory for Prosser, but it’s not nearly as clear that this is a victory for Walker.
There is a budget problem in Wisconsin, but it isn’t currently a budget emergency.
The vote was unprecedented, but unprecedented on both sides.
The fact the taxpayers came out so strong was very encouraging. We’ve spent the last six weeks being lectured to by the media and the mobs in Madison that Walker would be deservedly crushed for his “terrible” actions.
I think the Madison left is reeling at the moment. The game has changed. After 50 years of liberal government growing unchecked and filling the coffers of public employees and the unions, the game is now coming to an end, Madison just hasn’t accepted that fact yet.
Wouldn’t it be SWEET if the Pubs net 1 seat in the recalls ... then the fleeing Dems can go back to IL and stay there all they want to while the Pubs assemble in quorum!
It’s really impressive that conservative voters were astute enough to catch wind of this and show up in large numbers as well. A race like this is normally a “quiet” race with light turnout, so if one side or the other gets mobilized and has strong backing (like the unions were in getting angry / fired up) it could potentially overwhelm the other side that gets caught napping. That didn’t happen...enough conservatives showed up to off set them. That’s good...indicates our side is still very motivated and paying attention and hasn’t fatigued. And of course, nice that the liberal groups wasted all of their money on a losing cause that they won’t have to spend again.
memo to AP:
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
I thought the rules in Wis stated at least ONE minority Party member must be present before any votes can be taken on legislation where $ is an issue.
