Some might say that staying up late in Ohio to watch election returns from state races in Wisconsin is plain crazy.

Perhaps, but then again, they aren't FReepers. :)

Glad the results went our way (again) tonight.

Hopefully, none of the GOP wins will be close enough to warrant a challenge.

This will demoralize the Dems and make it possible to pick off one of the two Dem recall elections next Tuesday.

Would that some wise election officials would hold back some counts as was done with the Prosser election. It’s the only way to keep the process blind to the Demoscum.

There is very little of the city of Milwaukee in Darling’s district. The Milwaukee county areas remaining are apparently in the village of Brown Deer.

Darling still has much of the very conservative Mequon and a precinct in Menomonee Falls.
