I’m really surprised. And kuddos to her for showing some character for a change. Watch your back, Klopp. The unions are vicious.

I’m surprised she didn’t just keep announcing that she won. That’s the dems’ way: ignore reality.

I think the unions just did not want to spend any more money on this. They are going to turn their full time and attention to a Scott Walker recall campaign.

Character!?
This was all a "union tragedy play" just to keep things roiled up and make the unions believe that DemonRats are their best friends.
It cost the state a lot of money (which will be paid for by my taxes).

With respect I don’t think character was part of the equation.
She was either told what to do or simply wanted to retain any shred of future viability.

Wow! I'm frankly shocked at this. Did Kloppy overrule her union thug overlords or did even they admit that this would bring a backlash on them? Now, can some sanity prevail again in WI?

I did say for a change. Everyone expected her to contest the election ad nauseum to obfuscate and delay a fair election, so to go against the flow is something to praise. I still think her wasting the taxpayers’ money in a senseless recount was unforgivable, but to finally stop against union and DemocRAT screams for blood shows some semblance of sanity.

I haven’t been happier about being wrong in a long time. I never thought she would.

She had to concede. They’re filming the remake of the Wizard of Oz and she is playing the Wicked Witch.
They hired her because of all the money they’ll be saving in the Makeup Department.
I know, I’m being mean...

Good news but I’m surprised, thought she would resist until the last dog was dead.

I’m guessing the party looked at this and saw that the PR downside was far greater than any potential upside of delaying and deadlocking the court by forcing Prosser to recuse himself. Fear of backlash working against them in recall elections maybe?

"She was either told what to do or simply wanted to retain any shred of future viability."I'm sure there were a lot of Dems telling her she should fall on her sword and demand a recount no matter what she wanted, and are very disappointed in her decision. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this decision was made and the union bosses found out.

Normally I'd agree with you and hope that sanity prevailed. But the left has shown time and time again that when they do something that appears "sane", there is something sinister behind it. Always watch what the other hand is doing.

You could be right. I can't imagine the manure on their faces if they actively fought to disenfranchise
thousands of voters by having their ballots rejected, or by demanding a re-vote. It was getting embarrassing, and I'm sure that played into it.
Still, for her to go against the most strident leftists imaginable was something commendable.

Lead the Kloppinghorse back to the barn. Her race is over.
