1. And one of the Reeps isn't crazy and votes with the Dems. |
|
So that essentially deadlocks the WI leg. That IS good... for now.

was to raise the expectation that the only way Dems in Wisconsin could "win" was to take complete control of the Senate.
Given the wingnut-safe havens most of these Republicans lived in this was a huge longshot...the only true stat that counts is that out of 9 races, Democrats won 5....and in the process exposed Snotty Scotty's vulnerability....
btw: he wants "bipartisan" solutions now...

8. Schultz was a mixed blessing |
|
He gave us great coverage and ignited passions all across the nation ...raising expectations was just a natural outgrowth of that very beneficial aspect...who knows, maybe we wouldn't have won two seats if he didn't ignite the passions....personally, I thank him for coming here and doing those live broadcasts...I was incredibly motivated by his fiery rhetoric...and I think others got off the couch and worked, donated, marched because of it.

7. I was worried, but since the Dems retained their seats after this weeks recall... |
|
it's now a good thing.
I wasn't going to pop the cork until the final recall was done with.
Walker is now next.

10. Smacks of soviet propaganda. |
|
Their "army" got pushed back towards their capital, but it's still a "victory" comrades! And don't let anyone get away with saying otherwise!
