So far Barrett is winning Dane County by 2-1. Curbstomp.
Yep, falk actually seems to be doing best in the rural outstate counties for whatever reason.

Based on the results I assume Barrett is more liberal than Falk.
That would be a wrong assumption.

Barrett also used Walker's bill to balance his own city budget. Unions weren't too happy about that.
Union voters on the other hand seem to like barrett better than falk, judging by some of the areas hes winning.

Falk wasn't that well liked in the rural areas and outer/suburban cities, her strength was in Madison. So we'll have to see if maybe that holds true in this election.  

Nope, Falk is actually doing better in the Fox River Valley then she is in Dane County. it does however look like Vinehout might win a county!
heh yeah shes winning pepin which is of course in her senate district.

And the nail in the coffin.  The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Barrett's Base) is endorsing Walker.  I think the Recall balloon just deflated completely.

What does the endorsement history MJS look like?
pretty sure they endorsed walker in 2010, and often support republicans.

I will say walker by three, which is pretty much what I have always been thinking even before PPPs last poll came out.

I decided to wait to vote tell now since I wanted to see what the approximate turnout would be. I was voter 391 in my township. for comparison the total turnout number for 2010 was 363, in 2008 the number was 486. So with about an hour left I will predict 401. Tongue

Thanks for that info. Mind telling us what county you live in?
Barron county. one of the more republican townships but I don't expect turnout to be much different county wide.
