Annapolis. It is so nice to be back in the states. We forgot how much we missed it. I specifically have been in around 46 countries and my family about 20 or so and there is nowhere better than the United States of America.

Just went over to Daily Kos...
It’s a freakin DEPRESSIONFEST over there!

They can’t believe this is hapening, after all the media (MSNBC) hype.

They especially can’t believe that the Conservative areas are voting EVEN MORE conservative than they did in 2010!

Isn’t argula wunnerful?

I am seriously wondering what the unions and the left will do if/when they lose their butts here. And every scenario I can come up with ain’t pretty. They will not accept this gracefully. Is WI ready for the aftermath?

There does reach a point where it is stastically unlikely the underdog is going to overcome a lead.

On another topic, why in the hell is taking so long for some precincts to report.

Why is Milwaukee county always late with counting the ballots? That is were most of the fraud comes from.

Because Milwaukee and Madison (Dane County) were not in the districts of the recall elections today. The recall elections are 6 of 33 Senate districts. The one place (well all the places) to be concerned for is Sheila Harsdorf (R) vs Shelly Moore (D) RAT bastard union demoRAT. My hometown of Menomonie, WI and Dunn County are rabid liberal retards with the UW-Stout & faculty right smack in the middle of the district. So far this district has not reported ANY precinct totals and the RATs are ginning up extra votes. Moore is a rat bastard commie union pig. Sheila Harsdorf is a wonderful Senator with a a very kind, gracious heart.

PRAY THAT GOD WILL DEFEAT THE FORCES OF SATAN TONIGHT, PERSONIFIED BY THE DEMORAT PARTY & UNION THUGS.

LOL...I know. My dad keeps flipping to MSNBC....on all the close races, they are up to date, but the ones they are losing pretty handily, they are reporting results that are 10% behind what’s on jsonline.

If it holds they won’t do sh!t.

They are a childish screaming minority here in the State and have little power when Dane County and Milwaukee County aren’t involved in elections.

They want to riot? No problem...they’ll be burning down their own houses.

"Tea Party" candidate Kim Simac is running against Dem, Jim Holperin, but he has more than twice the warchest. He won election first in 2008 by 2,115 votes. She doesn't strike me as a great candidate but that election is the only real opportunity against the Dems.

Dems Robert Wirch & Dave Hansen won with almost 2/3rds the vote in 2008. Doesn't seem likely they'd be replaced.

All three Assembly members from Holperin’s area and their Congressional delegate are Republicans.

Our best bet for sure.
