Well, so much for that. Now the Dems lead in both.

Steitz is toast, he needed about 70% in the ‘middle’ leaning districts and he got about 60%.

Just goes to show that Democrats don’t give a damn about integrity, hence why they will vote in people like Pelosi, Reid, Cynthia McKinney, and Marion Barry.

They could care less about anything other than keeping a Republican out of office, no matter what the consequences.

By what margin did these two win the last time? If their margins of victory are down that is a good sign at least.

Boy, Simac really booted it in a “GOP” district.

Turnout is MUCH less than last week’s races.

The GOP still controls the Wisconsin legislature regardless of what happens with these two races. Correct?

Not good. One Senator changing parties could swing the Senate and I’m pretty sure the unions will make it worth their while.

Not much difference, maybe 3 points. I guess the lame-a$$ pubs who live there didn’t feel the motivation to kick these idiot fleabaggers out for their failure of duty. Speaks volumes for Democrat voters though.

The Dems are the incumbents, so the GOP can lose them both, I think and it won’t change anything.

I read on another site that candidate Simac (R) had a delinquent tax issue dogging her? Too bad, if that cost her the election. Maybe that race could have been won. I also read the NRA endorsed the Dem there?? NRA does that too often.

Conservatives stayed home. The total is around 36k with 94%. The Darling race had almost 75k total voters and last weeks races were 50k or more. We have to wake up,

The NRA has become a joke. They endorsed Harry Reid. They need new leadership with political savvy and guts. Remember “gun rights” Rep. Gillebrand of NY. She stabbed those fools in the back, just as anyone with a brain knew she would. Bob

Yep. You don’t win elections if you don’t show up.

I agree. The NRA always goes for the fake conservative Dems over GOP. WLP and NRA SUCK!
