SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER:
* Even though it’s only 779 votes, the total number of votes cast - 71,700 - would indicate that it is unlikely a recount would change the outcome.
* It might not matter. There’s a pretty good chance the senate won’t even convene until after the November election.
* Number of recall races in 2011-12 (including governor): 15
Number of Democratic wins: 3
The Wisconsin legislature will not reconvene until after the November election, when the GOP will pick up between two and five seats.
This guy will never be seated.
Plus, his district has been redistricted out.
His election means less than nothing.
Start a recall campaign against Lehman.
As with a game of chess, the attempt to recall Walker was a risky gambit, the Democrats and unions overextending themselves and paying the price. But the end game will come in November.
The Republican effort should be to counterattack, targeting the weaker Democrat legislative seats. The Democrats tried, and failed, to get the Republican seats most at risk, so now the Democrat high risk seats are at risk, and the Republicans can focus their attacks on them.
In doing so, the Republicans may pick up solid majorities in both houses, and if they do, it’s payback time.
Completely empty victory.
The Senate is out of session, and isn’t scheduled to be in session until after the next election.
They would only go into session if Walker called them, but he’s not going to start that rolling circus.

Congradulations Dimwits on your impressive win.
Otherwise, I was watching about 5 minutes of Fox the other night and I heard Judge Napolitano say that death treats on a political leader is protected speech. Does that include Obama?

Are there any moderate/”Blue Dog” Democrats in the Wisconsin senate who will not necessarily always vote in lock step with the rest of the dems there? If so, I would hope that the results of the recall election will not be lost on them, and they’ll act accordingly. Just asking.
