NY is wonderful from what I hear but has a boat anchor of parasites in NYC.
I See Is loss as not so bad. In the next election WI having fats in charge if one house means they will share some of the blame if things stay bad. If they get better the Republicans claim their reforms worked.
LMAO.
Something funky’s going on in Fond du Lac - no votes or precincts being reported as of yet, and there’s a news story of a ballot machine malfunction there earlier.
What you said......I hope.
More precincts, same percent in the 8th:
State Senate - District 8 - General
August 09, 2011 - 09:44PM CT
Wisconsin - 32 of 82 Precincts Reporting - 39%
Name Party Votes Vote %
Pasch , Sandra Dem 12,032 56%
Darling , Alberta (i) GOP 9,447 44%
Holperin most in trouble up north, but who knows what happens if R’s hold 5 of 6 tonite? :)
SykesCharlie Charles Sykes Am told that Darling is hitting all of her targets... Not at all rattled by Mil Pasch #s. Wait for GOP areas to report.
hey old timer...
I don’t spend as much time posting on FR as before, but I still check in from time to time.
Always good to see names I remember!
In the past, Kapake won with a 3% margin, whereas Darling won by 1% and Hopper won with just 163 votes.
We'll see but having seen many lost battles against union thugs in CA, I'm a pessimist when it comes to fighting their political machine.
The part of Fond du Lac in District 14 broke 60/40 for the GOP with all 9 precincts reporting.
I’m not checking results. Has Germantown (Washington Co.) reported yet? That’s a huge Darling stronghold. I work in that town and my co-workers were saying that the polling place was a madhouse.
(( Ohio )). Watching this too and hoping the ‘R’s’ hold on to the majority.
Okay, going to hold you too that ;)
If Darling wins we hold the state senate so I pray you are right!
kevinbinversie Kevin Binversie @ @Skye820 D8 is now an exercise in Pasch watching her lead get destroyed as the GOP suburbs come in. Darling should win.
By the way, that newspaper seems to be a pretty decent newspaper for this day and age...
Plus, all these folks won before.
GOOD to 'see' you, Rob!
I think this ends well. The insiders usually have better info than the general public.
kevinbinversie Kevin Binversie RT @RyanJGill: Hopper up 51-49 with 77% in, indeed, via 2 TV outlets. #wirecalls
Looking at the Oshkosh newspaper, Hopper carried Fondy by about 2,000 votes, I don’t understand these numbers you all are seeing. I believe Hopper is ahead and possible the AP isn’t fully counting the numbers for each county.
