Democrats probably shouldn't bother trying to recall Walker. Too risky. Let him keep digging the hole for now. 2014 is going to be an absolute blood bath for Republicans if Obama loses anyway (which is starting to seem more and more likely).

Walker got what he wanted, so he can tack moderate now. The heavy lifting is done.

Yes BRTD, waves can break a gerrymander. I don't see a Dem one in the making for some time myself.  One requirement for it IMO given the current political environment will be a Pubbie president in office who becomes unpopular. I don't see it happening while Obama is in office. I suspect about half the voters or close to it want him leashed.

Yes, this is the legislature, but stuff flows down ballot these days almost seamlessly. State politics has been nationalized, and states are dealing with what are really national issues. JMO.

Are you conceding that Obama will be reelected?

No, but what I am saying is that if he is due to the weakness of the Pubbie candidate, his party isn't going to get more than about half the vote, and his party will run behind him if Obama runs ahead of the Pubbie by some real margin, like last time or close to it.

Maybe 30 years ago, but now with straight ticket voting, I am willing to bet that Democrats will get the exact same percentage of the vote as Obama.

It took more money by the Republicans to not get eroded further.

I have no idea whatsoever what BS Bob is even talking about any more (I have him on ignore but he shows up in px's quote nest). None at all.

There was the group of thugs that put a Republican state Senator into unlawful detainment until a Democratic college freed him from his captors. There was the public employee whom used her state telephone to threat a gas station owner for selling gasoline to a Republican. There was millions of dollars of damage to the Capitol building. There was the Democratic State Senator whose recall opposition campaign phoned and harassed signers of his recall petition. And, there was the infamous shirt with the symbol of the Black Panthers emblazoned upon it.

In a futile effort to make J.J. shut up...

Thanks for this! Obvious proof that Walker is loathed by Wisconsin.

And it looks like the Democrats had spend more than four times the amount of money they did of all legislative races to do it.

I'm interested in the other two races.

Red Racing Horses, the conservative alternative to DKE, has their own polling operation now! They used We Ask America and got a 51-49 Holperin lead. Unfortunately for them, their sample looks too independent-heavy (and zero undecideds always seems... unlikely).

PPP looks a little too optimistic for Holperin, so I'm going to guess he ends up winning about 54-46.

Here are Holperin figures from 2008 where he got 51% of the vote. As returns come in from each county he will likely have to match these figures.

Florence: 43%
Forest: 56%
Langlade: 46%
Lincoln: 49%
Marathon: 49%
Marinette: 48%
Menominee: 86%
Oconto: 54%
Oneida: 54%
Shawano: 56%
Vilas: 50%

A few precincts in; Holperin's up 56-44 in Forest County, which is exactly what he got in '08. Wirch is down by 53-47, probably rural ones.

What is that like politically? Is that over or under performance for Wirch there?

Slight over I believe.

Wirch won with 67% in '08 but only got 49% in Racine. Once Kenosha proper starts to come in, he'll probably shoot up into the lead.

Holperin's doing pretty similarly to '08; he's pretty much even in all the counties that are reporting so far, except he's overperforming (so far) in Oneida and Shawano. Oneida may be because his '08 opponent was from there, whereas Simac is from the same county he is.

Oneida completely depends on where the precincts are.

Wirch should be fine unless the city of Kenosha dropped off the map.

Forest, Marathon, and Marinette are now nearly all in, and Holperin's at exactly the same percentages he got in '08.

Kenosha County results; faster than the AP. Wirch just pulled ahead there, so he's now only down by about 400 votes. Edit: now he's up by 9 in Kenosha.
