EDIT: Haha, Obama leads Romney in the exit poll. What the hell kind of confused person is an Obama/Walker voter?

This is why no one should be surprised by this. It was easy to see this result coming from a mile away. You cannot expect voters to base their support and action on any consistent set of political opinions, they simply are not capable of doing so. (And apparently it's wildly insulting and hackish to say so, despite just being an empirical truth.)

You guys realize that the exit poll showed the Walker recall TIED and that Romney has campaigned ZERO in Wisconsin right?  It's a great idea to hang your hat on that exit poll.

The democrats have a huge permanent turnkey infrastructure in Wisconsin that will produce 45% of the vote every time. 
Vs.
The Republicans have to rebuild their campaign organization every two years.

The democrats thought they could steamroll democracy by using their unfair advantage.  What a monumental miscalculation.  They never seem to grasp how backlash works.

I was responding to American Nation's post that Dems had a steamroller advantage in WI.
1) I didn't say they had a "steamroller advantage."  I said they have an "advantage" and they miscalculated by trying to use it to "steamroll democracy."  then I immediately said it created a backlash.  How did you warp that so much?

2) Democrats spent OVER 20 million, so this MSNBC spending excuse crap needs to stop now.  You only need 10 million to run a statewide campaign in this state.  

3) This is only what has been 'tracked' so far.  Millions are still unaccounted for.

Bzzt.

1990    Tommy Thompson (R/inc.) 58%    Thomas A. Loftus (D) 42%
1994    Tommy Thompson (R/inc.) 67%    Charles J. Chvala (D) 30%
1998    Tommy Thompson (R/inc.) 60%    Ed Garvey (D) 39%
I was talking about NOW specifically and in those elections, Thompson picked off a significant amount of the black vote that is easily described as part of the dem "infrastructure" or "machine."  Also, being the most popular politician in the history of the state "helps."  Given the amount of hate being preached by the dems, I don't know if that will happen again.  

PS,
This sums up why Walker won perfectly.

What matters is we took the Senate...
So you spent between 50 and 100 million dollars and you get to "pretend" to have control of the Wisconsin State Senate for 5 months.  Wow.

Walker actually won a ward in Madison proper, a very suburban area on the far west side.

At the other extreme, there were eleven Barrett 90+ wards in the city - two in minority areas on the south side, one on campus, one off Monroe St, and then seven contiguous wards (of which two were 95+) encompassing the area basically from Blair St. out to Commercial Ave. between the lakes and Starkweather Creek.
On some levels that is scary. On others, sad.  Lot's of mixed feelings about the peoples republic of Madistan.

Primary results in Milwaukee County.

http://whitefishbay.patch.com/articles/pasch-wins-10th-assembly-district-seat

The village voted for Pasch by an overwhelming majority — nearly 96 percent, according to unofficial results from the Shorewood Village Clerk's office.

Of the 3,531 ballots cast in her favor, Pasch received 2,060 from Shorewood residents, which is 35 percent of all of those who voted in the race.






Amazing!  White liberals in shorewood decide to vote in lockstep for a white liberal to overtake the votes of 44k 80+% black precincts in Milwaukee.

Pasch appears to have gotten roughly 1600 votes in Milwaukee precincts while the black candidate Coby got roughly 1950 votes in Milwaukee.

Krazen unexpectedly forgets to mention that Pasch was already representing Shorewood and that she, unlike the other candidates, campaigned door-to-door.

Oh yes, I'm well aware of that. What is interesting, other than the absurd soviet style 96-3 margin, is that the black candidate was from Shorewood while Pasch is from Whitefish Bay!

It's no wonder that blacks demand their own districts when white liberals parachute in from elsewhere and steal their districts. Coby had the support of much of the Milwaukee black establishment, but obviously that was not enough to stop Pasch.
Amazing how much the media covered the congressional redistricting and portrayed it as an extreme+illegal republican conspiracy (when in fact it was just about the least aggressive a party with complete control could possibly be) (the only court action was to move a line dividing two DEMOCRAT districts so that Hispanics would have a better chance at representation) and this systematic wipe out of black officials at the hands of east side white 'progressives' is "nothing to see here, nothing happening here, I'm shocked--shocked at the suggestion."

News on the indictment of Governor Walker that will happen "any day now" for the last 27 months...
http://wisconsinreporter.com/exclusive-da-questions-john-doe-evidence-gathering-methods

The Milwaukee County DA is apparently expanding the net into state government ('covertly' via open records request), despite the fact that the John Doe investigation started  (at Walker's request) before Walker was elected governor and despite the fact that it appears to be unusual, desperate, and out of jurisdiction.  Apparently you can be perpetually investigated forever (27 months and counting) for no reason in the democrats version of America.  This witch hunt needed to end yesterday.
