Very conservative.

Yeah, I see that.

 

[SolKane]

Second, back in the big union battle, there was one Republican senator who sided with the unions. So it is not unrealistic to expect occasional defections. Previously it took 3 Republicans changing sides, now it will just take one.

Dale Schultz.

 

[dschalter]

Menomonee Falls is a town that's going to decide the Darling race. I have no idea how they lean.

republican.

as for unions, they exist to increase wages and increase prices (or taxes in the case of public employee unions). not necessarily a bad thing, but that's the effect they have.

 

[Vanillalite]

Yes it is and there are two dems up for recall elections so they could lose those as well. This whole thing has been a mess but at least I'll get the stupid "You hate kids and old people Mrs. Darling" tv ads off my Brewers baseball.

Brewers aren't gonna do anything this year anyways even if the make the playoffs. So a small interruption shouldn't be that big of a deal. You should be use to messes as a brewers fan!

Twitter sez:

Waukesha in, updated total is now 52.3 Darling - 47.7 Pasch​

Final districts clobbered Pasch. Dems pick up two, fall short on the night. IIRC, two Dems face recall next week. Would be hilarious to see them lose and we end up net no change.

[Particle Physicist]

Is Waukesha incapable of counting ballots?

They like to wait till the end.. So they know how many votes are needed from their magical box for the win

There is a lot of Milwaukee left, too. Does anyone know which part of Waukesha is left?

It is not a surprise. The last districts coming in are going to be heavily right leaning.

Would be interesting to see the outside spending dollars on this race.

Just got home from work, can anyone give me a summary? Apologies for asking, but I had a long day and my brain can't process dredging through a dozen pages to pick up on all the salient details.

I find it hilarious that the two republicans posting right now are watching and complaining about MSNBC. lol

Why are you guys even watching network news?

Dems pick up two. Nothing changes. Same time next week.

Here we go

BREAKING: Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Graeme Zielinski calls a press conference and accuses Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus of "tampering" with votes for Menomonee Falls. He said she is "sitting on" the votes, and he will be back with more details.
In the state Supreme Court race in April, there were 11,731 votes cast in Menomonee Falls. incumbent Justice David Prosser won there with 8,459 votes, to 3,267 for challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg.

I'm not a Republican, if you're talking about me. My only horse in this race came from Paasch annoying the fuck out of me and bothering my baseball watching. I'm here until next year and then I'm back in San Francisco where I don't even bother to vote.

Tea Party is going to take over the house, fall just short of the senate and Bachmann is proclaiming that there is no need for elections, just crown her queen president anti muslim of the god loving united god state god of amerigod

Why are you so excited about all the Republicans winning?


and if that is your only reason for voting... holy crap.

Is this the same person that has fucked up several previous elections? How does she still have a job?

 

[Particle Physicist]

Seriously though. Someone has to look into what she is doing.. and completely change the setup, because it's shady as hell.

 

[Vanillalite]

I don't see how legally you can keep your job once you mess up an election count. Seems like that should be an automatic firing or something.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

If she us screwing the count, she is so good at it that she doesn't get caught!!

 

[Matt]

Almost all of Waukesha just came in (which wasn't really that many people), and Darling is up by 2,500 votes. But we still have a good bit of Milwaukee to left to report in.

But according to some, she didn't screw it up at all

Because, at least twice a week someone knocks on my door trying to talk to me about the election, I get at multiple pieces of mail from Paasch everyday, I have had phone calls, the TV commercials. The real killer was on Sunday morning at 9:00am when some fucking hipsters woke me up and I told them that I was up late talking to my inlaws in Taiwan and they told me that their message is more important than me getting sleep. So, fuck them and fuck her.

My only dog in this fight is that I want Darling to win. She and her people left me alone.

She will still remain the Darling of the 8th district.

It depends on what part of Milwaukee is left.

I'm pretty aghast that you are basing your vote on such superficialities.

You're right. I should at least hold off for someone to cook me some BBQ.

That's the problem with how this has been framed. Picking up even one seat in these districts is very impressive for the Dems. But that will be ignored.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Interesting notes from 538

In total, GOP leads 52-48 among all votes counted so far tonight in Wisconsin. Walker won those districts 56-43, Obama won them 53-46.

So if you're inferring from WI results, we're basically halfway between 2008 and 2010 environments. Which means a LONG night on 11.6.12.

 

[Ulairi]

Is it really? After the millions have been spent and all the noise only to win two seats? And it's possible that they could lose that many next week? There has been more than 30 million dollars from outside sources spent on these elections with the vast majority coming from Democratic groups. That is a terrible RoI in my mind.

You don't think millions were spent defending these seats? Only the democrats spent money on the race? Stop deluding yourself.

The GOP outside groups have spent BIG on these elections too.

 

[planar1280]

I guess I felt right. something was not right. I have been to wisconsin. Even some people who never vote republicans are not fond of 'Unions' themselves even if they back everything else Democrat.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Virtually all districts remaining are Dem-leaning. Even if the Dems lose this one it'll be ridiculously close. So much for your "Sure Thing" Ulairi.....

First of all, the vast majority of that money did not come from dems. Secondly, whatever the level of enthusiasm was, 2008 had more.

I don't think I said that. I just said the vast majority has come from the Dems, which is true.
