I'm hearing that turn-out is high! Ed Schultz says this may bode well for Dems. Thoughts?

1. Large turn out is DAMNED GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY |
|
There has NEVER been a recall election like today.
$Nearly 40 million has been spent, which is historic for elections to the legislature. The media is saturated with ads in the affected markets.
A quarter of a million people were canvassed since Saturday, and many of these districts are rural so extraordinary contact between parties and voters has occurred.
Polls close at usual time, by 10 central we should know if 3 wins happened.

3. I still fear last-second, phantom votes that no one can explain. |
|
I absolutely KNOW that right-wing Goppers WOULD steal an election if they thought they could get away with it. Question is: Do they think they can get away with it?

5. Such is the state of American elections, however in WI |
|
THE PLAN was to have victories large enough that those magic votes couldn't screw with the results.
Turnout is heavy, so this is good for democracy, you can probably catch the results, with video, sometime around 10PM central.

Hopefully they've learned that lesson.
