Just a week left until the general recall elections of the 6 Repubs.. and in two weeks the two remaining Dems are up for recall as well (lawl).

[Demosthenes11]

I am so excited/nervous/anxious for tomorrow.

do work cheese-heads

[Caiyuo]

Nervous as hell, too, throwing donations at this like crazy.

[Olo401]

Latest polling had Kapanke down big to his Dem challenger, and the races w/ Darling & Hopper very close - Keep in mind they were elected marginally in '08 when there was a giant wave from Obama, so the margin here is gonna be razor thin either way. The other two races have the Repub incumbent with a bit larger lead.

Also of note, the entire state is so saturated with ads and robocalls that the pollsters are having trouble even getting through to people (and when they do they get hung up on). So the margin of error is even larger.

Thanks, my google-fu needs some work. Only 40min of suspense left. I hope you did the right thing WI.

[Atreides]

I guess since the polls close at 9pm est, Rachel Maddow will probably be covering this live. Ed Schultz definitely will at 10

[Demosthenes11]

doesn't look good so far. how many seats do dems need to win to win control?

[bigrougabagel]

Just looked at polls, hell.

[Melena]

It's still really early though, and most of the dems have been slowly creeping up as more precincts report.

[Plow]

No idea how accurate those numbers portray what it will end up, but just the fact that it's at that point even if it was 1% is a failure of democracy on an insane level.

(gop holding all but 1 atm, in case things change and this sounds crazy later)
