I always thought it was funny when somebody forgot to turn off HTML and it affected all the rest of the posts...LOL

And someone else could close it for them... i remember fondly :)

Italians OFF!

[bobby.223]

Mitt Romney? Huh? You smoking that screwy stuff tonight that all the kids like??!!

[madison10]

P-tooey. Percentage at 56% to 43%. I really don’t want this to happen.

[netmilsmom]

Kenosha just went blue too.

[MNDude]

Probably sucks more for the liberals than us to be given such false hope and then get such a shock.

[NE Cons]

Kleefisch, during her acceptance speech...

"Years from now, they'll say, the campaign to save America came tonight, in Wisconsin..."

Love this woman!

[Kevin in California]

Is it me or does it look like Special Ed has been crying? Go look at him now- he’s on live.

[CedarDave]

Fox just saying that Dems not conceding - trying to gin up 200,000 plus votes to get to a recount.

[Kaosinla]

Called for Moulton....1 more for the sweep!

watching FR online.....still watching channel 12 in Milwaukee on direct tv.

[jwalsh07]

Turnout looks like it will be maybe 100,000 higher than the Presidential election year of 2010. So much for high turnout automatically favoring commies. LOL.

[NE Cons]

Damn, makes you wish she entered the POTUS race... Ahhh what could have been...

[TonyInOhio]

I look forward to admitting that I’m being overly pessimistic.

These tweets will make you feel better:

Charles Sykes ‏@SykesCharlie
Suck on this Madison. Waukesha County. 78% reporting.., Walker 72%. Epic.

Charles Sykes ‏@SykesCharlie
Washington County 75% in ; Walker 76-23. Huge...

Walker's margins will more than offset anyhing Barrett can come up with. I think he'll win by 7 or 8 points.

[RedMDer]

Wipeout

[LisaFab]

I always thought it was funny when somebody forgot to turn off HTML and it affected all the rest of the posts...LOL

Yes! Remember...BOLD OFF!?

[boomop1]

those were the days, I remember LOL.

[LUV W]

How can a 57+% margin be considered narrow.

only in the tiny minds at CNN

[NE Cons]

78% in, Walker 55%, Barrett 44%

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.

I can only vouch for the last 70 years, but I hear you!

Hmm. I guess I should check on the California primary results to see if any of my selections won. There's a buzz kill for you.

Dems scrambling. Trying to find some way to blame their miserable #wirecall effort on Bush.

[boomop1]

Like a Jesse Helms race.

[tomkat]

             bravo ! !

[onemiddleamerican]

Walker’s lead is 206k now...

[Red Steel]

Same over on the PMSNBC ED Commie Show “still voting” in Milwaukee . From the Ed Show moonbat talking head - “This will be in fact a close election!”

What Moonbat, you got hundreds of thousands of rat votes stashed in the DNC basement?

[bobby.223]

More than a few posters think your views of Sarah’s looks tonight were off base also. Get over it. She ALWAYS looks great!!

[BrianE]

Kenosha is always blue....every Mayor is a Dem.

[Principled]

He’s keeping the lead at 200,000. That’s a TON.

So while the % may change, the lead has been around 200k and is staying about there.

I don’t know how many votes are yet to be counted. But supposing it’s 500,000... then for the lead to evaporate, Barrett would have to win 400,000 of them [ie 80%] and I don’t see that happening.

Of course if fewer votes remain, the % req’d for barrett goes above 80%.

I’m sufficiently satisfied and happy. Good night.

As others have said, “I can see November from Wisconsin”

[madison10]

The ratstards are using their calculators to figure out how many they have to make up to win.

[NE Cons]

Whatever. It was an opinion. I think she’s a GORGEOUS woman, is a FANTASIC politician, will make a Reagan-esque wonderful President one day. That’s the important thing here

[snowrip]

They just might. This is one of the most important elections in the last 50 years, if not ever... and the commies know it. I wouldn’t put it past them to have been forging ballots for weeks.

[KevinDavis]

From Twitter:
Barrett staffer says the mayor will come out in 10 minutes #wirecall

[netmilsmom]

>>Walker’s lead is 206k now...<<

The big blue counties are holding their counts.
He may win, but he needs to win big enough to shut down a recount.

[God luvs America]

go boston...don’t like the celtics but i despise the heat...

[Lmo56]

Dems scrambling.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has called 5 of 6 races already for GOP ...

Waiting on District 21 - GOP leading 63-37 with 10% of the vote in ...

[Red Steel]

Barrett now concedes.

[Kaosinla]

Still waiting....

[mylife]

Barret is conceding right now.

[KansasGirl]

I bet David Willoughby is happy right now!

[Lazlo in PA]

Barrett staffer says the mayor will come out in 10 minutes #wirecall

Looks like they don't have the votes in the trunk of someone Chevy Caprice to make up the gap. LOL.

[profit_guy]

Wanggaard leading 62-38 with 22% in

[mrsmith]

Well, they just now got to 22% of the Van Wnggard vote reported while all the other races have been about 70% reported.

The unions are demanding that this race somehow be given to them and everyone up to the DOJ is cooperating IMHO.

[TexasNative2000]

Barrett is conceding - and the only network showing it is........MSNBC!

[madison10]

What a relief!!!

[Red Steel]

No doubt that the Dims want to steal it, but Barrett conceded 3 minutes ago further dashing their fading hopes for a steal.

[TonyInOhio]

Waiting on District 21 - GOP leading 63-37 with 10% of the vote in ...

That race has also been called for the GOP - it was a clean sweep in the state tonight. God Bless Wisconsin!

[netmilsmom]

Okay, now I can go to bed.

Night all!
