11:51 PM: Harsdorf says win reaffirms GOP agenda
State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, called her win in the 10th SD a reaffirmation of the GOP agenda in Madison.
“I think what we saw today in the 10th Senate District is people stood with us as we made the tough decisions and recognize that we’re heading in the right direction,” Harsdorf said.
With all precincts reporting, Harsdorf had 37,099 votes, or 58 percent, to 27,250 votes, or 42 percent, according to unofficial returns.
Moore, a River Falls teacher, ripped “millions in outside money” that she said made outlandish claims about her. She said the odds were against her from the start as she took on an incumbent who she accused of not being interested in running an issues-oriented campaign.
“What I hope she hears is 27,000 people turned out in the summer to say they were dissatisfied with her work and she needs to listen, not just to her friends,” Moore said.
Harsdorf said it’s clear that you don’t please everyone in an election. But the results to her clearly show voters are seeing the reforms Republicans passed this year to change the way government operates are working.
With Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, expected to win her race, Republicans are looking at coming back to the Senate with a 17-16 majority, depending on what happens in the recall elections of two Dem senators in one week. She said she expected the focus of the caucus to remain the same.
“I think we’re going o keep the focus on growing our economy and creating an environment in which we see job growth,” she said.

2 and only 1 where we have a chance, but it is a good chance!
“Having some real nice Sch-Ed-enfreude right now.”
Anybody know what the Spot Price of Arugula is right now???
That would be five liberal wackjob siblings, and one quiet sheeple liberal sibling. Six altogether, believe it or not.
Me? I'm the eldest, and have always gone my own way in all things. I think they're all just stuck in some sort of younger sibling rebellion against the older brother who has been right 98.6% of their lives .. LOL
Well, from the short time I spent here, It would seem that a couple of Dems are up next week. Hmmmmm
This came in from DU - take it for what it is worth:
Milwaukee final numbers: Darling (R) 13,580 Pasch (D) 22,225
Looks like a wash - GOP 3500+, DEM 3700+
NO WAY Pasch can make up Darling's 4K-5K now ...
So we don’t miss it, at which time should we set our DVR to catch the Obamanistic Black Milwaukee Backlash Riots (stoked by the mass media and the White House)?
“Tampering” with the rats’ attempts to commit fraud, indeed.
That's a keeper.
Hanging Chads Bump!
C’mon, P.J., “too tired to investigate DUFU”?
I’m waiting for some Bolshevik Red! ;)
Indeed.....

Congrats to all those involved in the #wirecall effort. You fought hard — and the fight isn’t over. We can still recall Walker!”
More millions down the RAT hole!

11:55 PM: Darling: ‘I’m waiting for a call from my opponent’
At 11:40 p.m., a jubilant Darling announced, “I’m waiting for a call from my opponent.”
She introduced her campaign staff. “This is Team Darling,” she said.
Darling complained again about “having to be escorted by police” at the state Capitol during protests in February and March. “These people had to deal with day in and day out intimidation and just plain meanness,” she said of her staff. “You didn’t hear about the bullying.”
The remaining crowd, still well over 100 people, chanted, “Alberta. Alberta. Alberta.”

Not to sound too greedy, but why is it I can't vote to recall our so-called Sen. Franken and nut-job Gov. Dayton?
Seems you Wisconites are always way ahead of us...and not just on the football field.
I have Pasch gaining 2600 in those twelve remaining Milwaukee precincts. Still not enough though.
That puts her up almost 5K now. Ozaukee’s last 2 might make that over 6K.
Wisconsin has a Governor that has already stopped that. If the hoodlums want to commit hari-kari, go to the burbs.
I think they’re all just stuck in some sort of younger sibling rebellion against the older brother who has been right 98.6% of their lives .. LOL
Mine still believe in unicorns.
