In Wisconsin, absentee ballots are run through the voting machines during the course of the day, so they are included in the election night results.

Arm Chain Quarterback notes:

If Darling holds on and wins, it may make it easier to pick up a Republican seat next week -- as the Democrats may be depressed after tonight...

Also, the Democrats are trying to set up a recall election against Governor Walker... If the Democrats lose tonight and next week, that might go by the wayside -- with Obama's re-election in so much trouble...

Though I am a New Orleans Saints fan [colors black/gold], the green color is for the Green Bay Packers...

Maybe football can unite some folks in Wisconsin after this...

Probably not constitutional. Just letting them know they might have a chance to be prosperous is damage enough.

“The MSDNCers are livid because they know they weren’t successful tonight.”

This ENTIRE episode in Wisconsin has been manipulated and ginned-up by MSNBC. From beginning to end. Every bit of it.

And the sad part is how many brain-dead whackjobs fell for it, and how easily they were parted from their money.

Now that MSNBC and the Union Thugs have been refudiated, what’s next? Winning TWO next week would be the ultimate slap in the face to the liberal nutroots...

I think it was intended as a pun... but it may not be that far from the truth. The highest paid public official in Madison last year was a city bus driver, with his seniority, shift premiums, overtime, etc, was paid something likd $177,000 in salary, plus his medical & retirement payments. A city bus driver...(shaking my head)
