Looks like Walker wins Eau Claire by about 200 votes.

Both Portage and La Crosse are still to close to call, but Barrett is leading in both.
Columbia is also sorta too close to call, but Walker probably won there.

Racine just hasn't bothered to report further results, but I suspect Walker wins there too.


Nope, Columbia County has gone for Barrett.

Just saw that. It hadn't reported those 5 final precincts yet when I posted. I think Barrett will pull out in both Portage and La Crosse.


Portage has gone for Barrett with 100% reporting

Why is it that Barrett is winning the counties Obama lost in '08, and Walker is winning the counties that Obama won in '08?

This web site uses red for Democrats and blue for Republicans.


Walker still won La Crosse in 2010, and he's winning Green.

Still Walker is taking a lot of the counties that Obama won in 2008.

...That tends to be what happens when you compare a Democrat +14% election to a Republican +7% one.


Does that mean that the Wisconsinites prefer R's at the state/local level and D's at the National/Federal level?

No, not really. It's only two elections in different climates with different candidates. For instance, Jim Doyle won by larger margins than Kerry or Gore. 


But Kerry and Gore still won the state.

Turnout was high for the 2006 midterms.
