Thank you both.
Isn’t there supposed to be a recall election against Gov. Walker sometime?
I have a lib here at work proudly stating this every now and then.
(He’s probably retching in a toilet somewhere after reading tonight’s results)
“Madison, you defended that 2010 electoral mandate. You are heroes. You are patriots. And when the history of this Tea Party movement is written, what you accomplished here will not be forgotten. Your historic stand brought down the curtain on the last election, and the 2012 election begins here. We will take the courage and the integrity that you showed all of America. We will take it and we will win back our country We will fight for America. And it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin. It starts here! It starts now! Mr. President, game on!

And the sun was in the DEMS eyes, they tripped on a rock, and their glove was too big when they muffed the fly ball ...
LOL!!!! I just laughed so hard I probably woke everyone in my apartment complex up!
I was wondering what happened.
They had Hopper ahead. Wonder if North Korean News will declare Darling the winner before LSDNBC?
I’m lucky too. My 3 siblings and I are all very conservative and one of them is a public school teacher!
>Isnt there supposed to be a recall election against Gov. Walker sometime?<
Walker has to be in office for ONE year, before the same BS will be thrown at him.
Kapanke's loss was pretty much inevitable given the heavy unionization in his district, and Hopper had the martial issues already chronicled on this thread.
If we can run an exciting candidate in Hopper's district in 2012, no reason we can't put that one back in the GOP column as well.
Now, lets take a RAT seat next week and make our our hold on the Senate a little less tenuous.
PASCH TWEET:
Neither Sandy or the Democratic Party will issues any statements tonight. Thank you very much for your support tonight.
AP calls Darling winner
Woo hoo!!!
That is what they are doing this year.
