Please comment. What other key races were won? Are the Pukes WORRIED about recalls and 2012?

1. Yes. Milwaukee County Exec seat is the biggest.
That's Walker's old seat he held for many years before he started fucking the state as a whole. The Dem (Abele) won in a landslide.

3. Definitly More Good than Bad
The Kloppenburg/Prosser race result is huge and will probably give a shot of momentum to the efforts to recall Repuke State Sentators. In Northeastern Wisconsin former Lt. Governor candidate Tom Nelson, a rising star for Democrats, beat a Republican slug, Voigt, a former State of Wisconsin Treasurer, to become the County Executive in Outagamie County, the county with the City of Appleton and the national headquarters of the John Birch Society. Outagamie County is usually about 54/46 Repug. Disappointments were not hard to find, though. The supreme court race results in Northeastern Wisconsin were not good. No county in Northeastern Wisconsin even came close for Kloppenburg. Even Door County, a County that had been trending Democratic recently, went 53/47 for Prosser. I was also not encouraged by the fact that Kloppenburg got far less than 60% in Milwaukee County. Basically things seem better than the November, 2010 results, but there is still a long way to go before Wisconsin will elect another Russ Feingold in a statewide race.

4. Only 33% turnout? With Obama on the ballot 2012 looks good I bet.

6. Dane Co. had 60-70% turnout - people on fire about this
Can 'tsee it fading away anytime soon. Walker/Repubs are the gift that keeps on giving - every day a new outrage!

5. Recalls did great
http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_f8e0aa70-60af-11e0-a1b8-001cc4c002e0.html

Madison/ Dane co. approved two referendums by overwhelming nos. which request constitutional amendment stating that corporations are not persons and money is not speech! That one kind of got lost in the cliffhanger supreme court race.
