Any news on Van Wanggaard’s race in Racine area. Only 15% of vote in Racine county for the Gov. race and only 10% in his race. He’s well up 63-37, but there are reports of very high turnout in Racine city. It wouldn’t do to let the Rats steal the Senate.

I don’t recall any of the majors calling such a huge wipeout should this margin be sustained.

This huge margin won't be sustained. I wish I was wrong, but I'm not. It'll be 3-4% better than I expected, and I was predicting a nice buffer, but it won't be what we're seeing now.

Interesting thing about the polls; some of the press has been crowing that exit polls showed Obama beating Romney 51-45 in Wisconsin. But the same exit polls also overweighted Barrett’s strength by a good ten points to show the ridiculous “dead heat” between Walker and Barrett. So, in reality, Romney is probably leading Obama in Wisconsin.

CNN’s coverage is despicable. They continue to cling to absolutely false and disreputed exit polls, propping up Obama’s numbers, minimizing impact on November etc.

An absolute disgrace at CNN. NRO and other conservative outlets should take them apart and publicly shame them.

61 percent of the vote in, and Walker is leading by “only 200,000” votes. But, John King assures us, this will tighten up, when every pollster knows that a 55-45 race is considered a landslide.

The networks are all calling the election based on exit polls, which always seriously under-count the dead people vote

No, they called the race based on vote tallies in precincts already counted and factoring in past election results. It's clear from the votes already counted that Walker's lead is insurrmountable.

“We feel very confident when those come in, Tom Barrett is going to win,” Phil Walzak said

Unsaid: ...'cause we paid for all those buses of union brothers and sisters to come in and help us vote, dang it.

You know I really hate it when a few cities determine who runs a whole state. Happens in Michigan.

BTW, Walker's lead just went UP.

65% of Wisconsin vote is now in and Walker's lead just extended to 17 points (from 15 points a few minutes ago)!

Walker - 805,506 (58%)
Barrett - 576,320 (41%)

We are now well above the margin of error for Democrat cheating.

Special Ed needs to be called on his irresponsible comment, “Walker could be indicted in the next few days”. For what Ed? That’s reporting, taking a cheap shot like that. He has nothing and he embarrassed himself - if that’s possible.

If you are already in line when the polls close they allow you to vote no matter how long that takes. They don’t allow anyone else to get in line after that time though.

Great win tonight — now we celebrate, but it’s back to work in the morning.

The communists have been on the march in the United States since 1932. Unwinding 80 years of their work will take a lifetime commitment. This election is only the start.

Local Fox station reported that CNN projects Gov Walker will win “narrowly.” Unreal. How can a 57+% margin be considered narrow.

In order for Barrett to win, the remaining 85 or so percent of Milwaukee, Racine and Madison unreported votes would pretty much all have to go for him.

So, it kind of depends on how blatant the 'Rats and union leaders want to be with their fraud. They may decide it would be way too obvious and let it go. But they are a soulless, conscienceless lot, so they may try to stuff the boxes.

On a night like tonight, I should do penance for even commenting on a topic such as Palin's appearance......but I will say that the woman could appear in sackcloth and look stunning.

She's gorgeous, all.....so get over it.

Still holding my breath. The crapweasels are doing what they always do.... holding out the vote counts in Milwaukee, Dane, Racine and Kenosha. Democrats never lose a close race, and if it takes 110% turnout to do it, I wouldn’t put it past them. Here in Pleasant Prairie I saw two Illinois license plates in the designated voter parking area at the RexPlex. I can only imagine what was happening in the city of Kenosha. Alot of fraud will be focused in Racine to unseat Van Wanggaard. Mike Tate (Wis.Dem Chairman) is still saying as of this moment that the numbers will change before the evening is over. Remember the Prosser race? They almost pulled that off except that Waukesha county (conservative) accidently on purpose made a mistake with their vote count, which threw off the Rat calculations. I want to celebrate, but it’s not time quite yet. I don’t think the mainstream media know what they are dealing with here. I look forward to admitting that I’m being overly pessimistic.
