Wisconson---It was 19 to 14...... now it's 17 to 16.

[trumad]

Can someone please expalin to me how this was a loss for the Democrats?

[ananda]

1. And one of the Reeps isn't crazy and votes with the Dems.

So that essentially deadlocks the WI leg. That IS good... for now.

[malaise]

2. Ask Priebus since he just said that

Wisconsin is more red that ever.

[ewagner]

3. The Repub spin

was to raise the expectation that the only way Dems in Wisconsin could "win" was to take complete control of the Senate.

Given the wingnut-safe havens most of these Republicans lived in this was a huge longshot...the only true stat that counts is that out of 9 races, Democrats won 5....and in the process exposed Snotty Scotty's vulnerability....

btw: he wants "bipartisan" solutions now...

[malaise]

5. Ed Shultz was also guilty of raising expectations n/t

[ewagner]

8. Schultz was a mixed blessing

He gave us great coverage and ignited passions all across the nation ...raising expectations was just a natural outgrowth of that very beneficial aspect...who knows, maybe we wouldn't have won two seats if he didn't ignite the passions....personally, I thank him for coming here and doing those live broadcasts...I was incredibly motivated by his fiery rhetoric...and I think others got off the couch and worked, donated, marched because of it.

4. It wasn't.

Walker is having nightmares over it.

[Ian David]

6. One of those Republicans is pro-Union. n/t

[Javaman]

7. I was worried, but since the Dems retained their seats after this weeks recall...

it's now a good thing.

I wasn't going to pop the cork until the final recall was done with.

Walker is now next.

[Blue Owl]

9. Hey I'll celebrate that GOP "victory"

In fact, I wish for ten more of these "victories"!

[Jester Messiah]

10. Smacks of soviet propaganda.

Their "army" got pushed back towards their capital, but it's still a "victory" comrades! And don't let anyone get away with saying otherwise!

11. The teachers union layed off 40% of it's staff yesterday.
