There they are. Wisconsites will need to give their take on this - are any of the seats currently held by the GOP in real danger of being lost? Is it possible any of these Dems are vulnerable and a pickup is possible to retake control of the Senate? It looks like a couple of them have their seats from the last round of recalls - and redistricting under GOP control will be in effect this time around, right? I would think that at least Jessica King would be vulnerable - the reason she won that recall has nothing to do with what drove the recall but the GOP incumbent had personal scandals...and even with all of that going on she still barely won in that district.
According the WI FReepers I’ve read on FR, redistricting is supposed to give the Republicans a two seat gain this election, that’s not counting any seats we might overturn.
