Oops, I was just trying to rub it in for any DU lurkers here, I was trying to be funny, but perhaps I should have added "/sarc" or perhaps "/just kidding". Glad you liked it, though. ;-)

Wisconsin received quite a bit of support from the people that understand the fight against socialism-marxism that invades our less than educated idiots.

Good on you Wisconsin! Now go take those other seats coming up.

Yup!! That suggests that, barring an outright, statistically improbable theft of votes in Milwaukee, that it’s all over but the recounting.

Looks like AP did too. There’d have to be almost as many votes in the remaining Milwaukee precincts as there is in the whole county to give Pasch a win.

Wouldn't it be great to see the Wisconsin GOP Chair come out and demand an investigation of voting irregularities in Milwaukee tomorrow?

Just rub it in their faces a little more.

Yeah, but I think they have to wait until he has been in office a year to launch a recall.

Yes I know at least five conservative teachers and all of them are from California! (From Fresno, in the heart of the Bible Belt of the state!)
