Bummer.
Who’s the pubbie that’s gonna flip now?
Ah dang, was hoping they’d at least take one down.
I bet MSLSD is doing porn now as they orgasm over this “victory”.
I dare not watch.
Serves as a reminder of how many voters in the country are happy to see the US fall, as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them. But the pain is spreading, may be a different tune after another year of this free fall.
Why. This is very upsetting. Oh well, it’s only a matter of time before the “on the teat” sheeple vote for the European disaster. Remember Alexander Tyler.
The lesson from tonight is that the GOP here needs to run good candidates that are squeaky clean and can appeal to a middle of the road voter. This doesn’t mean RINO’s but it does mean people who don’t scare off a portion of the independents.
In our district up north we nominated a Sharon Angle/Christine O’Donnell type in Kim Simac. I give Kim credit for running and putting up a fight. But at the end of the day, Simac was involved in a bizzare spouse swapping situation years ago and didn’t pay her taxes. Nor could she articulate anything in hostile environments outside her one talking point. The GOP and Tea Party are not going to win running candidates like that.
The other district was a pretty solid Dem working class district. The GOP candidate Steitz was a pretty good guy. But he’s from Illinois, works in Illinois and is a corporate attorney who has an office in London. That type of guy is not going to win in a democratic/Archie Bunker type traditional Dem district. Just not going to happen.
This is why it is so crucial we get the Presidential nominee right in 2012. That’s why I’m agnostic on Rick Perry at the moment. Can he win the middle of the road voter in Ohio, PA, WI, MI, MN, Iowa, Colorado? Maybe he can. Not sure yet.
Scot Walker for President!
Shame, shame, shame.
rats!
Blah!
If these rural precincts on our northern borde show an unexplainable spike in votes compared to the 2008, 2010, and 2011 elections, then we'll know that irregularities are occuring here, and if here, then likely elsewhere too.

Here are the numbers - unfortunately they were not close.

What the HELL is wrong with these STUPID voters that theystill want someone who FLEES the state rather than vote on something?????
I don`t know about that district up north, but I know the Kenosha area, having lived there in the `90s. Generally, they`re nice people, but they live, breathe and eat for the three things they hold precious: 1. The Union; 2. The Democrat Party; and 3. The Packers. Everything else is mere details.
