paign has nearly taken down an entrenched incumbent. 19 counties flipped Dem. Huge gains overall compared to November. Other Dems had a damn good night. And this with ONLY a 33% statewide turnout. And all this happened so FAST due to this asshole Walker. I think things are just getting warmed up. Yes, I wish more Dems had turned out, but this election, with just 33% (though much higher than the usual 20%), was a virtual 180 degree turn from last November. If this had been a November cycle, there would have been higher Dem turnout and Kloppenburg would have cruised to victory. At the very least she nearly took out Prosser. Trust me, this got the RePUKES' attention. All that has saved Prosser's ass is 2-1 Koch brothers money and mainly one county with very highly motivated red voters in an overwhelming majority there. If overall trends continue, watch out because some RePUKES are going to go down in the recall elections.
