From Wisconsin: Republicans are NOT omnipotent. They CANNOT steal elections at will. [View All]

As bizarre as this may seem, sometimes a Republican actually wins in heavily Republican districts without there being any election fraud whatsoever.

We did great here yesterday in Wisconsin. We defeated 2 out of 6 Republican incumbents and it is never easy to beat an incumbent. Here in La Crosse Jennifer Shilling easily beat Dan Kapanke with 55.4% of the vote and there was absolutely nothing the Republicans could do to stop that.

Here is a newsflash: sometimes Democrats lose elections because more voters actually prefer the Republican. Certainly Republicans will employ dirty tricks and use whatever means they can to win an election at times, but when Democrats cry that elections are stolen all the time it makes them less credible when it actually happens.

We had 2 victories yesterday and we need to hold our seats next week and then we continue the battle and move forward to recall Walker next year. Believe me, for all the Republican bravado about how we failed to gain the 3 seats needed, they are worried about what happened yesterday.
