— Ace Results will be here.
If you haven't voted yet, what are you waiting for?
Nearly all the voting booths were occupied with Wauwatosa voters on Tuesday just before noon at Madison Elementary School, 9925 W. Glendale Ave. The site covers Districts 23 and 24 for Wauwatosa. Poll staff said that more than 600 voters had cast their ballots, which was an unusually high number for the time of day.
November 2010, I would have said good for us. High turnout means we're the ones coming to the polls.
Now... I don't think so. I think the unions have turned out.
More of those here.
As everyone said in every Star Wars, I have a bad feeling about this.
Republicans Talking About Re-Passing The Bill: Hey, who told you they were waiting for this election to pass?
Now that I ponder it, I really wish they'd waited until after the election to pass this in the first place.

I say Walker goes the other way and teaches Wisconsins a lesson.
Make the system crash and burn like the end of Fight Club.

Senate back in session. Republicans talking re-passing union bill.
What were they waiting for? To be back in session.
Why the rush? They were about to adjourn the session.

They didn't want to effect the election. Passing it again would have made turning out for Prosser less critical. This doesn't bode well for Prosser though. They might be rushing to get it done before he's voted out.

went in around 2:00 this afternoon, Was right around #100. Today is advisement day at the college, so no class, although no class means parties last night so it may be a wash. (high turnout = bad for my city. college town/ depressed economically/ have had daily protests by teachers/profs on a near daily basis)
As an interesting side note, I questioned whether the Harsdorf recall petetion guy right outside the door was in violation of the 100ft electioneering ban. They had the regs out already and it was OK, but I must have not been the first to ask.
If you are in WI and haven't goten out yet, do it.

@32: "Why is it I think that were the tables turned and a Democrat governor had the opportunity to fire a mess of workers loyal to Republicans, he would have done so immediately?"
Because Dems are ruthless and aren't booger-eating retards/snivelling cowards when it comes to pretty much anything relating to using brains or balls in connection with advancing the Glorious Socialist Utopia. Hell, the only reason most of us are alive is because they haven't figured out an at least arguably quasi-legal way to have us all exterminated yet.

I'm trying to be optimistic that a higher turnout will bode well for us, but if it's anything like it is here in Vegas, all it means is that the unions went and picked people up to come vote.

It's crucial that those Conservative counties turn out in big numbers, which it looks like they are doing. One thing that may help Prosser up north is the unpopularity of the DNR, and Kloppenburg's association with them.

Hi, Paul! Are you Biff's friend? Which one of you is going to wear the dress and fancy spring bonnet tonight?

Okay, Wisconsin conservatives. Everyone go home. Biff and Paul put down their double dong long enough to type a prediction of guaranteed defeat.
Game over!

Paul, a couple of questions:
Are you fleet of foot?
If so, are you able to tell the difference between a grape juice box and a cherry one?
And if so, are you able to follow rudimentary directions on, say, the level of a kindergartener?
If so, we may have use for you.

Sorry for the friendly fire Paul. I thought you were trolling.
Maybe you could not throw in the towell just yet, though.

@160: "In their defense, I don't think anyone could have seen the voters go from "let's cut spending and get our finances in order!" to "um, nevermind" in a matter of weeks."
Other than anyone who ever asked them about what spending they wanted to see cut...
As I said in Tommy Boy: It's what the American public doesn't know that makes them the American public.

Wrong. Politically, it is the end of the world for Walker. He won't be able to pass anything of good substance without it being overturned in the courts. This election is the whole ball of wax for the future of Walker's Governorship.
There is no spinning this. It's either a HUGE victory or a HUGE defeat for the unions and Gov Walker.

If Kloppenburg wins tonight I fear I will fall into a deep and dark depression. All the Tea Party hopes for a new direction for the country will be dashed in a single night.

Hi Greg!
Remember this?
4 Walker has been saying that collective bargaining is costing the state money, so he's boxed himself into a corner. But none of this matters. The fleeing Dems have solidly won the PR war, even according to Rasmussen. They have no reason to come back now. The only question is how long it will take enough GOP state senators to cave.Posted by: Greg at March 03, 2011 06:25 PM (A0Q4i)
Posted by: Warden at April 05, 2011 04:08 PM (qBo9h)
Does seem crazy that they didn't wait till after this election, but what do I know.
I'm proud of them for putting up the good fight even if these liberal fascists win this battle.
Just keep kicking them in the head until they don't get up. A couple more curb stomps just to make sure.

Actually, my predictions of House and Senate gains were terribly far off because I pooped too hard.

And Wauwatosa is not as Republican as it once was. It's more of a swing district, with a slight GOP advantage.

If Sumi can do what she did, then the Supreme Court will have no problem overturning whatever they feel like. If Prosser loses, there is no spinning just how devastating a defeat that is for Walker. And if Prosser wins, there is no spinning just how badly the unions took it on the chin.

Now, with no new information, he is digging Walker's grave.
That is actually some pretty good trolling, especially compared to the mopes like erg we usually get. Unless erg is Greg, in which case I salute this particular multiple personality.

Greggie, like most on the left, have an attention span problem, and has forgotten that this was an either-or. Either we reform the civil service, or we fire a fuckload of them.
"See, your unions have fought hard and won... unemployment!"
That's a "win" for the unions, apparently.

And you cannot appeal to a higher court than the Supreme Court. So this election will determine if WI gets photo ID and keeps school choice, just to name a few things.

BTW, Dale Schultz gave an interview today and ripped his fellow GOP state senators for "overreaching." He's the biggest RINO in WI, but if there's waffling going on now with the sinking poll numbers, more dissenters will come out.

Greg, remember?
Then you're just reading partisan blogs that favor your side of the argument. Look at today's Rasmussen poll to see how the issue is breaking. Walker has lost the PR war.

@232: "if the Judgeship is lost, why would Walker back down? He has nothing to lose in going out full tit."
The (R) after his name. Backing down is what they do.
Posted by: Ray Zelinsky, Auto Parts King at April 05, 2011 04:57 PM (xy9wk)
Greg, do you remember this?
Because the whole point of this fight is collective bargaining. Gov Walker could have had those financial concessions. But he chose this battle (which was the right thing to do) and it backfired on him when he couldn't come up with a good messaging strategy.
Now he's lost public support for the entire budget battle. And there are 3-4 Senate squishes other than Dale Schultz that will look for a way out.

Yes, dicktard (n) someone who posts misleading results to a hotly-contested election. Less frequently used as an adjective, as in "that was pretty dicktarded."
CAC did the same thing on the LaCrosse thread.

You hadn't posted the second message when I responded, and don't call me a dicktard, all I did was point out what you did wrong.
Which you subsequently corrected, thanks.
Oh, and Warden? Fuck off and go imitate a troll on a dead thread or something, like you were doing all day.
