'Kinda changing topics, but if Democrats take both chambers and defeat Walker by 2013, what are the odds of a mid-decade redistricting?

I know you shouldnt read too much into these elections, but the fact that the GOP is managing to do as well as they (especially with the tv drama of the angry left and protesting) are, should be an indication of how strong the GOP is in the state compared to even 10 years ago.  It bodes well for 2012.

With low turnout and $30 million spent, mostly from shadow right-wing groups, we shouldn't be surprised....
Yes losers always blame the money from "shadowy" groups.  We did in 08.  You did in 10 and you will again in 12 Tongue.

Can you stop with all this 2012 stuff!!!?

105/108 precincts- King up 51-49.

King has almost a 1200-vote edge with 97% in.

What are the odds that the one moderate Republican in the WI Senate will change parties?

If there was one, it would be Dale Schultz. He's the only Senate Republican who voted against the anti-union bill. He's from SD-17, in the southwestern corner of the state.

He'd be the most likely to pull a Specter, IMO.

Do you think he actually will, though?  Even if he doesn't, I think this is the end of anti-union legislation in Wisconsin.

Honestly, I don't know enough about WI politics to answer that.

I've just heard random speculation on DK Elections that he could switch.

I think absentees are counted on election night in Wisconsin.

So, here's what last night shows:

1. Republican incumbents who are not scandal-plagued are still capable of winning Republican districts.


Didn't you mean to say, "Republican incumbents...can still hold Obama districts?"

Wasn't that the meme right up until the night the Democratic nominees lost?


No, the districts still had Republican PVI's.

Except Kapanke's.
