I'm putting my money on the Koch boys... Looks like freedoms a comin', I heard them Commies is fleeing town to go to Kalifornia, so they can be lazy and punish people for being successful. Busy shinning the Ol Lenin statue, hosing off the beach chairs, just waiting on the big order of diapers so we don't have to get up or nothin.

Can't wait till President Perry Nukes France, two years!

lol....sounds like a good plan!!

Should have seen all the "union thugs" out there....damned evil fire fighters, policeman, utility workers, teachers,road workers, etc.

Evil bunch they are. They were chanting, "We want Neo's money!"

93 of 114 Precincts Reporting - 82%
Harsdorf , Sheila (i) GOP 25,713 58%
Moore , Shelly Dem 18,425 42%
*Race called for incumbent*

120 of 126 Precincts Reporting - 95%
Olsen , Luther (i) GOP 23,868 54%
Clark , Fred Dem 19,995 46%

Incumbents = Republicans, Opponents = Democrats

District 2 - 58% (R) / 42% (D) * 91% reporting
District 8 - 56% (D) / 44% (R) * 39% reporting
District 10 - 58% (R) / 42% (D) * 82% reporting
District 14 - 54% (R) / 46% (D) * 96% reporting
District 18 - 51% (R) / 49% (D) * 79% reporting
District 32 - 54% (D) / 46% (R) * 82% reporting

Districts 2, 10, and 14 have been called for the incumbent Republicans.

*Democrats were hoping to win District 14 but have not.

my eyes must be deceiving me i thought all those wisconsin peeps wanted to draw and quarter the republicans.

interesting results.

Incumbent = Republican, Opponent = Democrat

District 2 - 58% (R) / 42% (D) * 92% reporting
District 8 - 56% (D) / 44% (R) * 40% reporting
District 10 - 58% (R) / 42% (D) * 86% reporting
District 14 - 53% (R) / 47% (D) * 98% reporting
District 18 - 50% (D) / 50% (R) * 87% reporting
District 32 - 54% (D) / 46% (R) * 82% reporting

Republicans hold Districts 2, 10, and 14
Democrat picked up District 32

Looks like 18 may decide if the senate swings or not.

35 of 82 Precincts Reporting - 43%
Pasch , Sandra Dem 12,418 55%
Darling , Alberta (i) GOP 10,094 45%

87% reporting
King , Jessica Dem 24,458 50%
Hopper , Randy (i) GOP 24,321 50%

Districts 2, 10, 14 and 32 have been called, 3 Rep. 1 Dem.

District 8 - 51% (D) / 49% (R) * 63% reporting
District 18 - 50% (D) / 50% (R) * 87% reporting

The last two races are virtual ties. Democrats need both of these districts to take back the Wisconsin State Senate.

It is my firm belief (not hope) that there will be one Dem. unseated next week.
Wirch is up against actual competition for the first time in two cycles.

Steitz is well respected, and well funded.
I can honestly say the buzz (this is in my district) is certainly favoring Steitz.

reply to post by Misoir


Last election, Hopper beat King by a handful of votes, maybe about 110.
And like I said previously, that Darling/ Pasch district is very segregated, ideology-wise.

Well would like to see how it plays out. If Dems don't gain 3 tonight though it won't matter anyway. I don't live in Wisconsin, I'm in Michigan which is stocked full of it's own BS.

(Edited for idiocy)

reply to post by David9176


Still, if the Dems pick up 2 tonight and hold on to both seats next week, that gives them a much stronger voice in the future.
We (Michigan too, I assume) have some Dems that will quite often vote with the Reps.
A gain of 2 lets the Dems lose one or two votes to the other side, and still have bargaining power.

So, was there a change? Was there a referendum? Have the people spoken? I know many would have liked to have seen the republicans get the boot due to the union/pay for thier healthcare issue.
But it didn't happen, did it?
Basically the same people who were in are still in, right?

Just checking.

Dems have picked up 1, with 2 districts yet to decide.
1 of those 2 is a toss-up, 1 is looking a bit Dem-ish.

A pick-up of 3 changes the majority, until next week.

Dems have officially picked up 2 of the needed 3 seats, with one race left to call.

Dems have 2 as of now. District 8 is still too close to call with only 67% reporting but it's leaning left 52/48.

51% 49%, a difference of 107 votes.
