B*llsh*t. You lost and your poor little ego is bruised. Now you can make up a fairy tale about 'the little people BEGGING YOU' so it doesn't look like you're the egotistical coward you are.
"The COUNTRY"???? Plezzzzzze!

For Immediate Release
June 6, 2012
Statement from Senator Van Wanggaard
“Over 70,000 people voted yesterday in a historic election. We know that there are a number of outstanding absentee ballots, voting irregularities, and that there were problems across the county in the unofficial tally of ballots.” “People across the state and country have asked that I immediately ask for a recount.
However, we all know that the best decisions are made when well-rested and after consideration of all options.” “We will closely monitor the canvass of votes with legal representation. We will evaluate our options regarding recounts following the official count of ballots.”
BOTTOM LINE...the rats stole the election and DUB's will let them get away with it because "it won't really matter with Senate not in session."
The recall was for the remainder of the original term. Wisconsin elects half the senate every two years and I thought Van Wanggaard had been elected in 2010, which would make the seat normally up in 2014. If I am wrong, on which point am I off?
You are correct, I was told differently but I looked it up, and yes, the term ends in ‘14.
Sorry.
Let’s hope we can pick up some other senate seats this November.

What is your problem?
We should pick up two I heard as the redistricting kicks in for the August primary and Nov election .
WOW you are gloomy.
As I said before, this recall was a disaster for Dems. It was stupid of them. The one seat majority of the WI Senate is worthless to Dems now, the session is over till the real election and Walker got his important stuff into law, and Republicans are now fully geared up for the WI election thanks to this.
No other governor has done what Walker has.
My pessimism resides with Romney, Boehner and McConnell regardless of November outcome.
I hope that the Republicans redraw congressional districts so that the Democrats are moved to Canada.
Time to play real hardball, with real bats.
I didn’t know the leg session was over when I wrote that, I falsely assumed there was legislating still to be done this year. Learning that improveed my disposition a good deal but still.
I just makes me sick when the rats take over a legislative chamber, in this manner, or at all. Especially this one I assumed we were done worrying about at least until the next friggin election, I didn’t know WI had recalls until they pulled that crap last year. Recalls, progressive era crap. Democrats, belong in the minority were voters put them.
2006, I saw it coming and just tuned out and stopped watching the news, couldn’t take the stories.
Hell even fake elections, I watched that show the West Wing (I know, why. At least I restrained myself from watching the one with Geena Davis as Hillary Clinton that bombed) and in their final fictional election the democrats took the House and I think it was 2005 just when I was starting to worry about the real House and it made me sick.
And this latest election, there may not be any proof of fraud (yet) but 800 votes? I laughed at the people who said Reid stole his election cause that thing wasn’t much closer than Walker’s win over Barrett here but 800 votes? You have to prove to me a democrat winning in Wisconsin by that small a margin is legitimate. Guilty until proven inncocent. And constant democrat theft of close elections and GOP non-response to them is one of my greatest “pet peeves”.
Pat Quinn should have dragged out of Springfield by a mob and run out of the state. And that slag in Washington State Gregoire, an even worse case, it took not 1 but 2 recounts to give her the victory. Dino Rossi should have occupied the state house.
Al Franken? What do we do about this stuff, whine a little that’s all like we would if some hood jacked our car stereo. And for smaller offices like this one the response is all the more muted. Just once I’d like a recount to give it to the Republican. That scum Lehman will be collecting a salary from Wisconsin taxpayers, pro-rated I hope.
"..Wanggaard had a right to seek the recount because of the closeness of the vote. The validity of the election also came into question this week when authorities fielded complaints about issues at two polling places in the city of Racine.
According to the Racine County district attorney, suspicious voter registration documents were allegedly found in a dumpster at one Racine polling place. The district attorney also has been informed of alleged voting irregularities at another polling place. The Racine County Sheriff is investigating both reports..."
