35. I personally think Wisconsin has been a distraction
behind the curtain so many other states are doing similar things, meanwhile all the resources are gobbled up in Wisconsin. Look over there look over there and pay attention there as other states go hog wild doing it without spotlight. The net gain, after next week, is likely 1 seat. One seat that we barely won while the loser was embroiled in personal life issues. Frankly, I am disappointed.
