We just threw out 2 Repuke Senators and replaced them with Democrats!
Recalls are an enormously high hurdle and we cleared 2 hurdles yesterday.

Wisconsin Democrats put Walker on notice that the whole state is coming to get him! And this time the voters won't be coming just from Republican districts or swing districts, but from the entire state. We will bury him in the recall election.

I hope that Feingold decides to run, but whoever runs, we will have a Democratic governor at this time next year!

2. One of those we tossed out nearly beat a Dem congressman 10 months ago.
It was always an up hill battle to beat pukes on puke turf. But we took out two and the rest are filling their depends this morning.

This didn't flip the senate, but, with the potential for more recalls this January, the rest will be thinking twice before they vote for more Koch-written bills.

3. Assuming neither of the democrats lose next week, Koch bills will
get shitcanned in the 16 republican - 16 liberal - 1 RINO senate.

4. Well, let's hope so.

But we shouldn't forget that Walker has what many call the most powerful line-item veto in the country.

Whether we had full control of the Senate or not, nothing will stop him from using that pen to the Koch brother's advantage on every bill that does get passed.

5. I live in Michigan
and last night I was so disappointed that your state didn't get that third win. But, you seem optimistic, so that makes me feel a bit better about it. This fight is going to take a long time to win. As more and more people in Wisconsin, both Democrats and Republicans alike, begin to suffer from Walker's decisions, I can see where a lot of Republican voters switch sides. They haven't really had time to feel the pain of all those cuts yet, but by the next governor's race, they will have had their fill of him.

I wish you all in Wisconsin the best and I, and many many others in this whole country, are pulling for you.
