I’ve visited a few Leftist sites just to gauge the pulse of the day and they all seem oblivious to the election today. I realize they’re probably not WI voters, but the “big” election last week seems to be throwing a lot of dumb Democorrupts off.
What a great inadvertent strategy for us.

Important to pick off a Democratic seat to send a message to the cowards who fled the state.

Is this to be the live thread for tonight's results ?
If so, it should prolly be in Breaking ?
If not, anyone know where the 'official' one is ?

On one of last week’s threads, someone said that one of the Republicans who avoided recall was at risk of switching parties. Is that a serious possibility?

Thanks for posting this.
I heard some firsthand reports from people in the north woods, I was making GOTV calls for Kim Simac. The turnout is huge, one person told me it was bigger than in presidential elections. I feel pretty good about Simac beating Holperin but I’m not going to be too confident until the results are in. There is no real voter fraud in the way up north in WI fortunately.
On the other hand. I heard a couple of second-hand reports from voters in Kenosha. The turnout is huge there too but I heard two reports that there were lots of cars with Illinois plates parked at the polling places.

... but also you cant be recalled until youve served a year of the present term ... That's illogical. Aren't these all 2-year terms? If so, NOBODY has served a year, and none of last week's elections could have happened. Nor today's. Or am I off about the 2-year terms?
I do understand they can't recall Walker because of the one-year thing, but he's a Gov, not Sen.

I received an e-mail from a group called "Campaign to Defeat Obama" which claimed that one of the winners in last Tuesday's election was thinking about switching parties. I don't know anything about this group, but this is a portion of what they sent me:
Throughout today we've learned more details about the possibility that 'moderate' Republican Dale Schultz may bolt the GOP and join with the Democrats. He is under intense pressure from Senate Democrats to switch sides - in fact Schultz once was a Democrat. Schultz also was the ONLY Republican who voted against Gov. Walker's budget reform bill and then publicly criticized Governor Walker for his efforts to bring fiscal sanity to Wisconsin.
We learned today that Schultz even went to the Democrat Leader in the Senate and offered himself as a vote for them in the Senate.
This would be disastrous and would mean Democrats would be able to block Gov. Walker's agenda in Wisconsin. We can't let the Left win this way.
That's why we are going all out to win in the 2 RECALL campaigns against Democrats that take place next Tuesday. In fact, if we prevail in these two races the net gain for Democrats through this entire RECALL process will have been ZERO (0) seats. They will have spent more than $30 MILLION for nothing!

Theres not much incentive on both sides now that control cant change. But if I were to guess Id say the Tea party has a bit of an edge as they are still ticked off over this BS and want to send a message For the Dems this is the equivalent of a bronze medal game when they thought for sure they were a shoe in for the gold.

Maybe the unionistas will stay home today as a protest against WEAC’s heartless firing yesterday of 40% of its staff. But probably not.

It looks like the top should open up and an ICBM should launch from it.

Didn’t understand how the Republican seats had one voting date and the Democrat ones had another. Was it so Dems would have time to vote in both?

Has anyone of our Wisconsin freepers heard a take on the turnout?
Light or heavy may portend victory or defeat.
