It is also the first time I have listened extensively to Maddow and Shultz. It is painful to say the least. The selective reporting of information is astounding. The absence of any balance makes for very boring tv, IMHO.
thanks. No sense wasting resources, including PR resources, holding races that we’re likely to lose. Today’s races have been a PR disaster for the Dems and their constituent unions. har har dee har har.
OMG! LOL! I just went over there to DU.
They are LIVID!!!
Even worse than the Daily KOS’rs!
They were absolutely CONVINCED by MSNBC’s Propaganda that they were going to win this going away. What gullible fools...
Here's your slice of crow, still warm.
Cheers!

12:01 AM: Shilling calls win repudiation of GOP majority, talks of working with GOP Sen. Schultz
Dem Rep. Jen Shilling says GOP Sen. Dan Kapanke used to enjoy support from across the political spectrum because of his moderate image. But the GOP agenda this year changed that.
“This was a resounding rejection of the hard-right turn that his state has taken and the overreach over Governor Walker and his extreme agenda that he pushed through with very little citizen input and transparency and openness in Wisconsin,” Shilling said.
With 97 percent of the vote in, Shilling had 31,868 votes, or 55 percent, to 25,902 votes, or 45 percent, according to unofficial returns.
With Republicans holding a 17-16 majority after today’s results, Shilling called the GOP majority “tenuous” and talked of working with GOP Sen. Dale Schultz of Richland Center to find compromise in the split chamber. Schultz voted against the collective bargaining changes, and Shilling predicted he will become an important factor in the chamber.
Two Dem lawmakers face recall elections next week that could impact the size of the GOP majority.
“I think he has tried to distance himself from the Republicans and Governor Walker and that there may be some areas of common ground, common interest that the Democrats would work with him,” Shilling said.

I have one union-lovin’, lib brother. I have cousins who are raging libs too. Christmas parties are “usual’..
Dear @AFSCME: Apparently in this era of the #ObamaDowngrade, $30 million (cost to the Dems) doesn’t go as far as it used to. #WIRecall #WIUnions

The socialists don’t understand that the bank given to them by conservatives is broke. Obambi drained it, and it plays across the Nation.
