Didn't see an actual thread we could use for a central point for election information today.

Lets do this Wisconsin!!!

Before we find out who wins, I would just like to give out high fives and hugs to all the freepers in this thread. I always come here to watch election results and love every minute of hanging with you all! Go Walker!

[CedarDave]

Much better!

Kleefisch , Rebecca (i) GOP 54,991 57%

Exit polls show a tie, but Walker's numbers look pretty decent so far in rural Wisconsin. Dems will need huge Milwaukee/Madison turnout.

I also note that Hannity keeps hinting about making a call during his show, but maybe he always does that. :)

50-50 is just the networks’ way of saying, “Don’t touch that clicker!”

Is Ed Schultz on suicide watch yet?

Just what I was thinking !!!

[Wizdum]

Maybe he will go into one of his tirades and blow a gasket.

Green Lake County:

Walker 72.3% with 37.5% reporting.

In 2010 Walker won it with 64.3%

Don’t know if the county has more Dem vote in it, but I’ll take what I can get.

Juan Williams is a dick.

Walker shoved what down our throats!?!? Walker did only exactly what he promised when he ran for Gov. Yet, Juan never had any problem with ObamaCare getting shoved down our throats. Very selective outrage.

Juan Williams is a dick.

I got off from work at 6:30...raced home and then to my polling place.

THE DOORS WERE LOCKED!

Then, I recalled that I live in Minnesota.

Kickin’ Rat butt so far....so good!

[DoughtyOne]

What I’d love to see is evidence at least some Democrats have woken up from their 2008 Socialist slumber party.

Fight Fire with Fire!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the results sites are already crashing due to volume...

192 of 3424 precincts reporting - 6% of total

Walker - 58% (71,895)
Barrett - 41% (51,244)

Intrade at 94%

17 point spread - looking good, though the big union cities have yet to report.

Good point if the big cites like Madison go against Wal;ker it could get real close. One thing that really aggravates me is that we never really got the central message out and once again its our fault. We have no one to blame.

I bet half the voters up there had no clue that other than losing the right to bargain which is huge for the union,but should not have been since they are "public" unions--a huge difference between "private" unions,this fight is about the unions having to contribute a little over 10% to their own healthcare, instead of nothing!! Unreal when you think about it.

[iceskater]

Ugh. Hannity. He does that a lot. Very annoying.

[txhurl]

Waukesha reports when she damn well wants to report.

Some county by county results:

Ozaukee: 27% in. Walker at 68.1%, versus 69% last time.
Dodge: 66% in. Walker 67.1%, versus 66% last time.
Lake: 37.5% in. Walker 72% vs 64% last time.
Door: 58% in. Walker 58.3% vs 50% last time
Fnd Du Lac: 44% in. Walker 67% vs 64% last time

Those are all the counties with over 20% in.

Juan Williams is why you have a mute button.
