One of them was hoping for a Dewey/Truman later tonight or tomorrow.
**************************************************

This might be the reason.

The Associated Press reports:

A Barrett spokesman said the campaign was not conceding, citing ongoing voting in Milwaukee, Madison and Racine.

“We feel very confident when those come in, Tom Barrett is going to win,” Phil Walzak said

Update: Only 38 percent of Dane County is in...

I have 62% of Dane county in with Barrett running 3% less than 2010.

It’s over Walker won by a decent margin.

The networks are all calling the election based on exit polls, which always seriously under-count the dead people vote. Those Democrat cemetery precincts always get counted last.

Did you see the young mush head on CNN. He was crying and sobbing that “Democracy died tonight!”

It's almost to the point of feeling sorry for these kids who have been so poisoned. Almost...

Wow you come across as petty. Go scratch. Really. Look at my tagline, or my post history.

She looked GREAT! She always looks GREAT! I have never seen her look ‘awful’.

Same here! I just saw an interview on cnn where a union member was crying his eyes out!

“Democracy and America are dead !....we were outspent 45 mil to 4 and this proves that democracy is dead in America!”-anonymous and heartbroken Unionista, 6/5/12.

OK, so WHY are they still being allowed to vote?

[JohnBovenmyer]

Any news on Van Wanggaard’s race in Racine area. Only 15% of vote in Racine county for the Gov. race and only 10% in his race. He’s well up 63-37, but there are reports of very high turnout in Racine city. It wouldn’t do to let the Rats steal the Senate.

[NE Cons]

Look how many people agreed with my assessment. Call them names also, go ahead

[Pollster1]

I don’t recall any of the majors calling such a huge wipeout should this margin be sustained.

This huge margin won't be sustained. I wish I was wrong, but I'm not. It'll be 3-4% better than I expected, and I was predicting a nice buffer, but it won't be what we're seeing now.

"We're flat broke, but he thinks these solar shingles and really fast trains will magically save us.
So now he’s shouting all aboard the bullet train to bankruptcy. The 2012 election begins here.
We will fight for America and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr. President, game on!”

For them to make up this difference there would need to be a big ole bunch of people waiting in those lines. ;)

[laconic]

Interesting thing about the polls; some of the press has been crowing that exit polls showed Obama beating Romney 51-45 in Wisconsin. But the same exit polls also overweighted Barrett’s strength by a good ten points to show the ridiculous “dead heat” between Walker and Barrett. So, in reality, Romney is probably leading Obama in Wisconsin.

[KevinDavis]

Get this tweet:

Obama now being hailed as political genius for limiting Barrett support to a tweet. #overnightsensation #wirecall

Some 'rat union hack on CNN from the same venue....... Thru his tears...............Democracy just died tonight

Your kind of democracy, union boy? We should be so lucky. But at least the Republic will live another day.
