Need to get down to that clerk's office and account for every ballot turned in. Call people on the phone and make sure they voted for the person on the ballot.

Both Kathy Nickolaus and MSNBC are trending on twitter right now.

Man I wish I had cable right about now.

Things looking pretty bad for Pasch, but as Maddow pointed out, if it doesn't work out for her, the Democrats can still try and work with republican Dale Schultz. Any thoughts on that?

**Caiyuo** · 2011-08-10 00:14

I read that with Schultz it would be a 17-16 majority in support of collective bargaining

Because Waukesha county is THE Republican bastion of the state. It is the area the current chair of the Republican Party calls home (no fucking joke). I would not be surprised if the current Republican ways originated there. It's the place where you go to sell your soul to whatever hellspawn is currently having their iron fist around that make-believe suburban "paradise." It is the place where humanity goes to die.

You want to be the epitome of a douchebag suburbanite? You go to Waukesha. When Obi Wan talked about Mos Eisely and hives of scum and villainy, he didn't know shit about Waukesha.

That was an impressive little rant.

I went to Waukesha county. Not because I'm a douchebag suburbanite, but because I was sick of getting my car broken into and my house robbed. Milwaukee is a shitty county with shitty police and shitty people.

Still upset about this vote though.

It's a process. 2 republican Senators are ousted. What will really matter is if Walker is successfully recalled.

Regardless, it's still a shitty situation. All that time and effort to still not have the majority, even after the Repubs basically spat on the people and democratic process.

Not surprising. We were trying to pull Ds out of R districts. The real people to blame, who rode the 2010 tea party surge (Walker and the brand-new R senators) aren't eligible for recall until next year. Gotta take what we can get.

I wouldn't call defeating two Republicans in favorable districts and cutting two others close enough for a haircut a loss.

And with the one wildcard Senator, don't be surprised to see stuff get blocked.

**Atreides** · 2011-08-16 16:56

is that same site going to be posting the results of today's election?

**Atreides** · 2011-08-16 22:14

nvm, both Dems kept their seats. That would have probably sucked lol

I wonder if they'll even get to a Walker recall vote
