aren't helping.

[HereSince1628]

16. Well

If this continues and Wirch loses all the time and effort on recalls netted Democrats 1 seat In The State Senate.

You have to wonder If Democrats there are disillusioned after losing 4 recall elections last week.

[HereSince1628]

18. Prior to today, the dems had lost zero recalls and taken 2 from the r's

last week may not have won the war, but it was NOT a defeat for pro-labor folks.

22. So Wirch is losing ground from being 1322 votes behind to 1455 votes behind.

That doesn't look good at all. I'd hate to think that Democrats chose to stay home...again.
