Apparently the ‘Milwaukee Precincts’ are not in the city but rather in Whitefish Bay where there’s no way Pasch could do anything but get about half the votes.

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

Gimme the names of the counties and major cities involved and I’ll do it.”

LIKEWISE, I’m both P.O.’d, and inspired.

A trip to Wisconsin sounds like fun for next week!

This should be ramped up all throughout the blogosphere, at work/water cooler, national TV/radio, talk radio, etc. etc. as a "TEA PARTY ELECTORAL VICTORY IN WISCONSIN."

12:38 AM: Darling declares victory in 8th SD

GOP Sen. Alberta Darling declared victory early this morning, calling her win a victory for the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

Darling’s campaign said Dem opponent Rep. Sandy Pasch called to concede the race, and a Dem spokeswoman confirmed the call. Pasch was expected to release a statement later today.

“This is a victory for the taxpayers of Wisconsin. They sent a strong message to the special interests – Wisconsin is not for sale,” Darling said.

Darling’s win secures the majority in the state Senate for Republicans at 17-16 with two Dem senators facing recall elections in one week.

Its over Sandy Pasch conceded and Darling gave her victory speech.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! With God's help & blessings, we defeated the Satanic forces personified by the demoRATs & the unions!!! Now we need to pray & work for another miracle & victory next week, to oust the 2 demoRATs in their recall elections. With God's help & blessings AND hard work & contributions by those who contributed to tonight's victories, we can regain the 2 seats & offset the 2 we lost tonight. That would be salt poured in the unions & demoRATs wounds.
