Reply #14: We were out spent in this race 3 to 1. In February the prediction was Prosser by [View All]

[HereSince1628]

66% to 33%.

It's not at all easy to come from behind, against that sort of resource.

BUT WE DID IT! I'm not gonna feel bad about this a bit.

And it isn't over yet. There will be a recount no matter which side wins. And you can almost bet there are some missing votes that will be found. Last night Walworth Co produced some huge numbers per precinct that didn't look right to me. I'll be glad to have that county recounted by hand.

In Milwaukee Co, the job that Walker left fell to Dems by a 2 to 1 margin.

Certainly it will be a strategic advantage to have the supreme court 4-3 on the liberal side. But everything (inlcuding predicting the recall outcomes) doesn't hang on Kloppenburg, those special elections will be in districts where the voters are clearly pissed and reached a very high standard to bring about the special elections.

This isn't bad news. Not by most of a wheel of cheddar (or Wisconsin's Colby)
