Prosser vs. Kloppenburg

[vaberella]

Not really GDP material but does have an important effect on Democratic moment...well to be an extent.

If Prosser wins...what does this really say? Do we say that Wisconsin has not learned their lesson? Or that the Right are richer?

If Kloppenburg wins, how much of this momentum can we sustain or build up to the 2012 election and possibly getting the House back and maybe getting a Super Majority in the Senate----that means, in my eyes, 65 Dems seats in the Senate?

1. I would call a swing of the Wisc Supreme Court to the "left"

an important event.

In addition, Prosser was expected to win easily. Instead, we have a neck and neck race.

2. It's hard to say

You'd have to poll the people who voted

There are people who reflexively vote for the incumbent as long as they carry no baggage -- Prosser was pretty quick to distance himself from the governor.
Supreme Court seats are also often different than other political offices. Many people don't base their decisions on Party affiliation.

3. I hope he wasn't quick enough. But you're right, we'll have to see how this plays out. n/t

4. Have any Democrats won since Citizens United was ruled on?

I'm telling folks.....they can work hard on dogging out Obama...
but the alternative is a real possibility.....

5. Even if Prosser wins,

the fact will remain that a lot of little, mostly rural counties that voted R last time around swung D this time around.

Of course, having a county of 230,000 (Waukesha) that votes consistantly 70%+ for the R every election pretty much negates any gains D make anywere in the state.

6. I dont think it means much either way

Its just a very close election in a very purple state
