Despite early results, I'll predict that race riots, AAA downgrading, and general idiocy displayed by "The Won" will sway the day in Wisconsin and help to bury that marxist POS in Washington. :) (he said with a smile)
The state has some interesting county names.
I’m pretty sure there is no fraud at our polling place.
The three wonderful ladies who volunteered were not putting up with any BS at all.
They gave me suspect looks for saying, “Evening, Ladies” ... and I know them all !!! lol

Why? The Republican candidate is in the lead in every race so far.
Kapanke isn’t now.
Does like look Kapanke is in trouble, and it's still way early yet. Luther's numbers don't look too good either.
Never mind. I see your new post. Unfortunately, we fell behind in one of the races.
Anybody know anything about district 14 - which precincts are in, and whether absentees have been counted? I am worried about Olsen.
He didn’t deserve to be recalled either, but that’s the cards he was dealt.Hhe’s an honorable man who did what was right for the whole State.
A population of leeches are throwing him out...they’ll get theirs eventually.
Kapanke will lose (as expected).
9:00 pm, polls are closed!
That’s fine...in most that’s good for Republicans this time around.
I just peaked at DU - pretty grim over there - LOL!!!
Per Facebook, Scott walker page
Harsdorf (R) 59-41 over Moore (D). 44% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
This race is likely over for the democrats.
Cowles 57-43 over Nusbaum (D) 49% OF PRECINCTS REPORTING
This is most likely over for the democrats.
These races are not officially called, but based on our projections. We’re calling the races for Harsdorf (R) and Cowles (R). Republicans hold 2 seats.
You have to understand that many of the precincts are small little unincorporated towns, staffed by people who normally are making dinner for thier fmailies or farming.
God bless them all for their help to make the voting happen, no matter who they vote for personally.
They have to win three to flip the Senate. Does not look like the Dems will on this one so far. Big counties still counting though.
Early on, many had Alberta Darling pegged as vulnerable. She’s doing quite well so far.
