Walker’s up over 201,500 votes with 89% counted. I suspect, though, another slug of thug-generated votes will come in soon to knock that down.

ROFL...nice pic to add.

What I really love about this moron on video is he actually says “they” were outspent something like 5 billion to one when, as usual, the left outspent the right.

This is how retarded the left is.

Awesome. Hoping it stays over his (5%) margin in ‘10

Amen, it’s more fun because it’s so easy. No need to use conjecture.

Barrett is woefully underperforming in areas of Dane County that he would need to close the margin.

You are right on the money Tony. Dane Co. is now at 94% reporting with Walker still over 30% of the vote.

yep, classic clip from Paxton. He’ll never live that one down, as far as I’m concerned.

Don’t worry — it happened. Just take out the Dim fraud and there you go....

Oh man, this was the first thing I saw tonight as I turned on the TV for the results.

Just SO gratifying to see their distress.

I pray for Walker’s continuing safety, as many of these punks aren’t going to feel that they have much hope left in life and will try something desperate. They are not known for being gracious losers.

Damn, I’m forced to watch Maddow. FOX has a rerun (but live results at the bottom), and CNN has Piers in London... a major snoozefest. Any other channels covering it?

Just a general observation to everyone:

A few people mentioned that Walker couldn’t/shouldn’t gloat. I think he and others should, not ‘gloat’ per se, but come right out and call it what it is. The dems are wrong in everything they do, it’s killing the country, they WANT to kill the country, and this election proves it.

Talk about the crying wonder and his idea of “Democracy dying’ when those teachers unions couldn’t even teach him we live in a REPUBLIC. Call the media out on their bias over this ‘narrow win’ and give examples of them narrower wins for dems being called ‘mandates.

He has the huevos to do it. I hope he will over time. I gust wish he would have done it here. We ARE indeed a divided country. Explain in no uncertain terms WHY.

But I’ll take the fact that he won big and that America seems to have some life left in the ol’ girl afterall, with a big smile.

Just IMO/FWIW/YMMV Ect.

I think there were around 900,900 signatures certified on the recall petitions yet there was less than 1,000,000 votes for recall. It would seem that in a relatively short period of time, the people organizing the recall were able to get the actual signatures of at least 90 percent of the governor’s opposition. A remarkable feat especially considering the geographical size of the state.
