Darling/Pasch race has closed to less than a 1000 votes.

I believe Pasch had a good lead at one point that has evaporated...

This one could be another Horse Race to the wire:

Pasch , Sandra Dem 20,562 51%
Darling , Alberta (i) GOP 19,675 49%

The Fat Lady has not sung on this one... Either way...

We've got our own problems with trust-fund baby Mark Dayton as Gov, Stuart Smalley and Amy Klobuchar in the Senate, and Keith Ellison in the US House.

All I can see is it might embolden the Dems and Unions here; we don't need that.

Cheers!

Yes, and if we hold it, I expect the WI GOP and Governor Walker to have a renewed confidence!

Darling won Washington Co 73-27.

Waukesha numbers to follow which should be big for her too.

Perhaps I understated it...

Very funny!

If Darling holds we lose the zipper and the guy in the liberal district. And the unions spend valuable millions to remain a minority in a blue state. That would be a fine night.

One of the Ds under recall next week - Holperin, I believe, is considered highly vulnerable by both Ds and Rs.

That’s good to hear. The CA Republican machine is as inept as it is non-existent.

Err, there's a CA Republican machine lol? I'd say nonexistent.

I feel so bad for CA conservatives. It must be hard not to just throw in the towel and give up.
