MSNBC morons just don’t get it. We didn’t have to “outspend” the Dem to win. We garned national support from people who were willing to contribute to save our Republic. Sorry, Socialists, you lost and you’ll lose in November.

A Wall Street person on an economy thread a couple days ago said word was Walker in a landslide then very shortly ObamaCare completely knocked down by SCOTUS and that Romney transition people were already working with officials in office on items that will need to be addressed immediately to save the world.

I love Palin, but she looks awful today!

She might be having regrets about her decision to bow out of the race. She would have been looking good for November had she gotten into this thing.

LOL - PMSNBC

All they are talking about is the EXIT POLL #’s how they were good for Obama

If the people doing the exit polls TOLD THE TRUTH, we would have known about 4hrs ago what the result would be.

They are grasping at straws.

Wisconsin is in play in November, the Dems know it, and are trying to stuff that genie back in the bottle.

Amen and now we have Begala saying these results have nothing to do with November. Heck, says Begala, “it’s only 5 months from election day and compared to 5 months ago Gingrich was stomping all the other GOP hopefuls”. Wonder how many are buying it.

Laurence Odonnel just declared the real winner tonight is Barack Obama!

What a nut case!

I saw that, too! I had been watching Madcow look so sad (I was laughing....). Then, ol' Lawrence came on and said that. I literally fell out of my chair!!

He went on to show how the libs only spent a total of $9 million, while the Walker alone spent over, what, $26 million. I say let the libs keep thinking it's only about how much money you spend and nothing to do with the message.

Poor ol' Lawrence (and the rest of the libs). Can't wait to see how this is spun tomorrow after the libs (and the media) have had a chance to figure out what to say.

Exit polls are useless in a race like this. Nobody wants their tires slashed or their kid hit in the face with flying glass. The thug effect also affects reguar polls. I said yesterday I would be very surprised if Walker did not outperform the poll average. Looks like he will.

The Journal site checked Governor Walker off as the winner. Works for me!

I've been watching for about ten minutes and have heard "outspent Barrett SEVEN TO ONE!" around 15 times!

I'm having a wonderful night!

Great job Wisconsin. This F.I.B. is proud of his neighbors behind the cheddar curtain.

I can’t wait to hear all the excuses by pollsters about why they were so far off in their calculations!

They will say (truthfully):
(1) Conservatives are reluctant to talk to us in both telephone polls and exit polls, which we adjust for, but a smaller percentage of them than usual would talk about this election, and
(2) The final results were a lot closer once the cities reporter - still a Walker victory, but not the 19% margin we had with only 37% of the vote.

Many partisan pollsters lie, but the honest ones were calling this for Walker quite a while ago.

As the late great Chick Hearn used to say when the Lakers had wrapped up another win, “This one’s in the refrigerator. The eggs are getting cold and the jello’s jigglin’.”

I love it!

We Love You Wisconsin!!!!!!!!!!!

Onward to Washington D.C.!!!!

Green County now all in. Barrett won it by 1%. Walker wins it by 2%. So Walker has now even flipped a Barrett county.

I shall commence extreme gloating now. :)
