It seems like ages ago, but it was only six months ago that Wisconsin looked very bleak for Democrats in general, and Barack Obama in particular. The state had just gone heavily Republican, costing the Democrats a statehouse, a Senate seat, a pair of House seats, and legislative seats by the boatload. The state's ten electoral votes, which had gone handily to Barack Obama in 2008 (a fourteen-point edge), seemed destined to be a toss up.

Funny what six months of a Scott Walker-led Wisconsin has done for the Democrats in the Badger State. Walker's numbers are sinking like a turd in a well, and Democrats are starting to look awfully good in comparison. This resurrection, it seems, includes the man at the top of the ticket.

2. It makes one wonder how in the hell Prosser won...

Or Walker for that matter...

4. I think I read that he kept his agenda hidden and basically hid from journalists until he got

elected. then when people questioned him on the crap he is pulling he said well you should have known.

6. Prosser won because he wasn't running for governor or the legislature.

He was a State Supreme Court justice running against a woman who, like four weeks before, was a virtual non-entity.

Imagine what we could have done with more time or a higher turnout (33% turnout).

And as always thank you for the info.

5. Folks I don't this this is the highest of the highs yet

The Republicans are not going to stop the crazy shit even though every indication tells them that Americans don't like what they are doing. They are going to do even worse things it's just a matter of time.

These are good numbers.
