I can't say I am really very optimistic myself, but if we lose here it is just one set back. A big one, but just one battle in a bigger war.
The problem here was, in my opinion, the way this was done allowed the unions/lefties/hippies a lot of time to get very organized and energized. Personally I wish Walker and the GOP had passed repair bill the way the ultimately did within days of the fleebaggers leaving.
Oh well, what's done is done. I think most pundits expect Prosser to lose, so if we win it will be monumental victory.

We need to start fighting the crap that’s going on, we need to “play dirty,” here’s one of my “evil” plans:

That’s one of the problems of the “conservative” mindset: we have an abnormal faith in “the system” and playing by the rules (though not using the rules [”ruthlessly”] to our full advantage).

Personally, I wish that he’d have issued Writs of Election, which the WI Constitution allows him to do when vacancies arise in the Legislature. {Art 4, Sec 14; IIRC}
Then the Democrats would likely take to the Courts and argue that fleeing the state *wasn’t* vacating their seats.

Perhaps.
Though I think we’ve been lulled into setting the bar quite low for the qualifier of “monumental.”
