just a few years ago, Wisconsin was a RAT stronghold... The TRUTH has a way of winning, in the long run!

RT @41jellis: walker out-performing in early tallies across most every county

[Hojczyk]

Fox hopes to call it by 10.00

[Koblenz]

In the counties that have over 20% reporting, Walker is running ahead of where he was in 2008. See post #999 for specifics.

I know sometimes the rural more conservative districts tend to report more early and the more urban larger districts come in latter. CNN is reporting that exit polls show a statistical tie. Are we being set up for a Florida style hanging chad thing, or is Walker really comfortably ahead? -
