Right now I think the best part of a win in Wisconsin...

[TheWraith]

...would be shutting up all the people making noise about how elections are all bought and there's no point to any of it.

[randome]

1. It would have a ripple effect on the coming elections.

The GOP is down. Let's hope we get them out, as well.

[deaniac21]

2. They are all bought

but that doesn't mean there is no point to it...

[longship]

3. That would be good.

There's more than a few Moaning Myrtles here.

Hey, everybody! Stay upbeat! Voter turnout in WI is off the charts! 119% in Milwaukee.

We can win this tonight. Revel in it.

[Zorra]

4. Really? For me, it would be kicking that little fascist Scott Walker to the curb.

And getting a Democratic governor in his place!

And a major smackdown of the Koch brothers.

Actually, maybe best of all would be seeing the joy in the faces of union members and the Progressive Democrats who worked so hard to toss out a hard core RW governor in favor of a good Democrat.

But that's just me.

8. There's plenty of people I'd like to see out of office.

But a Republican governor three states away from me bothers me a lot less than the people who run around crying that everything's rigged. Either we'll win or lose in Wisconsin, but if somebody throws up their hands and walks away, there's NO chance of winning.

10. Who is "running around with their hands up"?? nm

5. If it hadn't been for all the money, we would have walked away with this thing.

[Bjorn Against]

6. Money in our elections will be a big issue no matter what happens tonight.

This election would not even be close if both sides were equally funded, the fact is that people do buy elections. While it is true that money is no guarantee of victory and people should not give up just because the other side has more money than they do, we should never ignore the impact that money has on the electoral process.

7. +1

Regardless of the outcome of this election, the issue of money in politics must continue to be raised. It will be very difficult to accomplish anything until there is reform.

9. Really?? That would be the best part of a win in WI? Showing others they were wrong?

You being able to tell people they were wrong (at least in one case) is more important than fixing the government in WI? More important that showing that the people are willing to stand up to big money?

[rhett o rick]

11. Oh what irony. nm

[99Forever]

12. SO..

... watcha got to say now, "The Wraith?"
