This election is important nationally too. If Kloppenburg is elected the Wisconsin mandate by the electorate in 2010 in this state will be negated by the WI Supreme Court and the unions will have won.
I live in a hardcore conservative area and discovered today that my Prosser yardsign was mutilated and thrown into one of my plantings.
Pray for Wisconsin and for Prosser's election!
Our mouths are like grass seeders. Words are planted, and they bear fruit.
We pray the Scriptures...God's perfect will. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Other faiths cannot pray God's perfect will. They pray the will of whom they believe.
You: In fact, he did. See Democrats and Vote Fraud: On the Road to Rigged Elections. Scroll down to the section titled "Minnesota's Fraudulent Senator."
I will grant you that if there was a problem with the election, it occurred before the ballots were casted with the registration rolls not being properly culled. That's primarily what the Soros-project is all about. But the other assertions are canards, to-wit:
1) The "discovered errors" were nothing to be alarmed about. In the Klobuchar-Kennedy race in 2006, there was a shift of a few thousand votes between the reported totals on election night and the final certified votes. Not unusual.
2) The main error people point to occurred in Two Harbors, where an election judge simply forgot to place a "1" before the rest of the numbers when recording the total from the election tape, resulting in Franken getting another 1000 votes. Simple human error.
3) The ballots-in-the-back-of-the-car story is a canard that will not die.
4) While an argument could be made that the canvassing board favored counting ballots they shouldn't have, almost all of the votes of the board to count the ballots, which included Republicans, were unanimous. Not much to support a "Franken theft" here.
I'm as disappointed as the anyone else here that Franken is my Senator. But the fact remains that he is in Washington because Coleman (a) ran a horse-crap campaign; and (b) his lawyers in the recount were complete idiots who allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered. Change either one of those two scenarios and Coleman wins. Regards.
That must have been the Atkin’s Diet version..................
I think it is time for we conservatives to get out the heavy armor.
Methinks you haven’t quite gotten the unintended irony of the original poster. No big deal but it was amusing.
Consider this, the vote is anti-climatic. Even if Prosser wins, and I pray he does, the next move by the unions will be to have him recuse himself from hearing any appeal concerning Governor Walker’s bill due to the active participation of the unions in the election (a variation of the old “throw yourself on the mercy of the court as an orphan since you killed both of your parents defense”).
Of course the Republicans would never do that to Kloppenburg since that would be considered in poor taste to question the bias of a lady.

I have already sent gov. walker a support email and reminding him of the Franklin affect and urged oversight ,
With living in the SW part of the state , from what i see is a lot of dirt farmers who’s wife sister brother works union / school , with the small towns and it’s gov. employees and there dependents ,and family supporting them
Wile getting subsidy’s from the gov,
I urge every one to send email for supporting a oversight of this election
Incredible, and disturbing, that 24 precincts have yet to report.
In more ways than one.
I agree with the FReepers that have posted the WI GOP should have passed a “Voter ID” law whilst the Rats were AWOL in IL.
Gov. Walker - the nation is watching. Are you going to punk out a la Pawlenty or do what must be done?
Thanks for the correction on the back-of-the-car story. That does appear to have been incorrect. I still maintain, given the 17,000 extra votes noted above, that Franken's seat was clearly stolen.
Ashland and Sauk counties are the real focus of concern now.
Klop took the first 22 precincts in Ashland with over 70% of the vote (almost a 1500 vote margin), there are six listed as not reporting. Straight line estimate would give her a gain of 400 votes there in the other 6 precincts.
Klop is up in Sauk County with about 55% of the vote (with 31 of 39 precincts reporting), over a 1400 vote margin. Straight line estimate would give her a 377 vote gain over the final 8 precincts. That puts her a lot closer. She also could gain a few dozen votes in Crawford and Dunn counties, while losing roughly the same in Jefferson and Taylor.
I hope Milwaukee and Dane County are all done (as I said early this morning, looking at precinct by precinct data, the one remaining precinct in Dane only had five voters in February, so if anything changes there significantly it’s almost certainly fraud). Milwaukee is listed with two precincts to go though others here have said the mayor has reported all votes are in.
Prosser must be the winner-—haven’t heard any reporting on the race in Chicago. If Klop had won, I’m sure it would have made the “news”...
Obviously longer than I could stay up! My guess now is about as long as Bush v. Gore 2000. Bummer.
Now, that's just plain funny!
Yikes. Recount is certain. Can’t let this become the stolen race of the year. I still don’t like this weird election system where there is runoff even though Prosser won over 50% in the primary.
Seems we matched the unions in getting out the vote. There was a late ad (something about an old case) that may have helped Prosser.
In other news that leftist fop Chris UN-Abele easily won the Milwaukee Exec post. And Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt (R) won a third term.
Uou say, “While our guys say ‘oh, its close? Well, well give it to the other guy because thats the nice thing to do.’”
Can you please give an example of when you think GOP candidates have done this since 2000? There have been a lot of close races since Bush v Gore. But starting with that one, I don’t recall Republicans saying that and giving up. Coleman, for instance, certainly fought.
No, the last Dane reports were rather favorable to Prosser. At least more than the earlierones. Whether he actually won those precincts I do not know.
I’ll give you an example:
When Willie Brown ran for re-election in 1994, California’s newly-enacted term limits assured that it would be his last stint in the legislature. Although Brown easily retained his Assembly seat in 1994, Republicans won a one-vote majority in the California State Assembly and it appeared that Willie Brown’s record-setting tenure as Speaker was finally over. Brown pulled off a remarkable upset, clinging to his leadership of the Assembly by a margin of a single vote, cast by a Republican member whose loyalty Brown had won in an earlier session.
When the Republican dissenter was recalled in a special election, Brown stunned the opposition again, by persuading another Republican member to stand for Speaker against the Republicans’ chosen leader. Brown’s choice won the votes of all Democrats and a single Republican in the Assembly. When Brown’s chosen successor was also recalled, he persuaded Democrats to support the candidacy of the one Republican who had supported Brown’s choice for Speaker, thereby dooming the hopes of Brown’s Republican rival for a third time. The Republican majority were forced to withdraw their first choice and elected a fourth Speaker for the brief remainder of the Assembly session. The following Autumn, Democrats regained control of the Assembly.
