Tomorrow's Recall Elections in Wisconsin

[MineralMan]

Like a lot of DUers, I"m watching tomorrow's elections very closely. I don't expect we'll have decisions on some of the races until Wednesday morning, but I'm hopefully optimistic that the results will be good. Optimistic, but still keeping my fingers crossed. A lot of money has poured into this from both sides, but it's going to be the people of Wisconsin, in those particular districts, who will decide whether to go to the polls in large numbers to make their dissatisfaction with what happened in 2010 known. It's also a matter of how many Republicans will go to maintain the current mess. From the perspective of DU, it's hard to imagine that all six recalls won't pass and a Democrat replace the current holder of the seat. However, I know that I'm often surprised by elections, and am concerned about this one.

It's not my state. I can't afford to contribute financially right now, and health concerns have kept me from physically participating. So, I'll be watching the results, since they may be predictive of what might happen in 2012. I'm hopefully optimistic, but not sure how these elections will turn out. Wednesday, we'll know.
