11:30 PM: Pasch makes first appearance at her party

Sandy Pasch just made her first appearance of the night at her campaign party.

She walked in to chants of “Sandy, Sandy, Sandy.” She then thanked all her volunteers.

“The whole world is looking at us, so thanks for everything you’ve done.”

Pasch then gave a “shout-out,” to fellow Democrats Jen Shilling and Jessica King, who both won in their recall attempts.

She said her race is too close to call as results are still coming in.

Pasch concluded her remarks by asking supporters to stay and have fun.

“We’re going to have a good time tonight,” she said.

Wonder if billing the losing party in all recalls will ever become law in Wisconsin.

The difference between FR and the DUmp....

I can read this entire thread and maybe find 5 obscenities...and them mild.

On the DUmp one could do the same thing to try...TRY...to
find 3 words that aren’t obscene. Indeed I always need a
very hot shower after spending 30 seconds there.

I love FReepers! :)

We don’t rest here with 4-2 tonight. We defeat Holperin next week to secure a 18-15 advantage. 17-16 is too perilously thin.

Throw in everything we’ve got to defeat Holperin and elect Simac. Everybody help.

Don’t be a total acktard - in WI the TEA Party is the GOP - if you lived here you would know that.

The $30 million the unions spent on this recall could have paid for the retirement benefits of almost 10 Wisconsin school janitors.

You can’t do better than Steyn—even if he can’t throw a football. But I’ll bet he could if he had a better teacher than Hannity.

Democrats are claiming that she is sitting on numbers.

As a general rule, whenever Democrats accuse Republicans of doing something crooked, it's because they are already doing it themselves. Take note of the twelve Dem precincts in Milwaukee that have yet to report. Yet they are screaming about a single precinct in Waukesha.

My sister refuses to speak to me anymore since the last round of elections and my subsequent joy and the Tea Party’s success. Flat out refuses. That’s here in GA, a Red State Stronghold. She didn’t even call me on my birthday.

Dang, are we related??? Your sister sounds just like my two, and all three of my brothers.

Sucks, but such is life for today's patriots.

Someone has claimed with 96% of the precincts reporting, Alberta Darling will hang on.
