WISCONSIN RECALL ELECTION RESULTS HQ–UPDATE:
CNN Calls It For Walker

Stacy’s location remains undisclosed, and he’s asked me to head up the results. Legal Insurrection has a swell Social Media plug-in. We did that once for, I seem to recall, the ObamaCare vote. Neat technology, but not much historical trace there.

Memeorandum has the Democrat’s sucking chest wound on display:

I’m giving one point to Walker for every Memorandum bullet, for a total of 7. Prediction: Walker: 54.5% to Barrett: 47.5%. Furthermore, I bet the Dems pick up one WI Senate seat and claim a  120 dB moral victory, while demanding a recount and making Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction appear to be having a rough morning by comparison as they make the remainder of Walker’s tenure a total bed of roses.

8:56 PM EST: The Campaign to Defeat Obama notes:

Polls also show Republican Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch holding a narrow lead over Democrat Mahlon Mitchell.

21:05 PM EST: Drudge has a 5 point margin, and points to the AP with an even-handed story. How stupid will the unions look if the whole drama boils down to a 2008 re-run?

21:09 PM EST: Forget 2008; nostalgia buff Donald Douglas wants a re-run of FL2000:

Can’t we just watch Death Race 2000 instead? 21:12 PM EST: Ain’t over until it’s over:

  21:18 PM EST: Via Dan Riehl, via Gretawire, the Scott Walker event: 21:22 PM EST: The Camp of the Saints has a lively aggregation going. Do not miss. 21:26 PM EST: Perhaps the following numbers are from MakingItUpAsYouGo.com:

21:28 PM EST: Oh, some closer-to-reality numbers:

 

21:30 PM EST: This is where you point out that the precincts matter, and expect the numbers to close slightly, as more dense districts report. Those Progressive districts get pretty dense, IYKWIMAITYD.

21:37 PM EST: Unexpected new White House spokesman Sgt. Schultz (while Jay Carney occupies a corner of the briefing room in a fetal position, thumb clenched by lips): Much more likely to be funny than his predecessor, while holding steady on accuracy. 21:42 PM EST: Do avail yourselves of Evil Blogger Lady’s excellent roundup. 21:51 PM EST: SHOCKING ECONOMIC FALLOUT from this election (at an undisclosed location):

 


Meanwhile, somewhere, Andrew Sullivan is wondering what to do with the sudden windfall of a pair of fives. . .

Also, we are linked by the gracious Lonely Conservative.

22:03 PM EST: CNN Calls it for Walker

    But I hope you are right in your predictions.  Well actually I hope you underestimated it and it is a blow out ofr the GOP.

    Jay Carney is sitting in a corner, sucking his thumb, and has the beginning of a turd poking out.

    Sweet sweet schadenfreude, Charles Johnson on the recall election…  Yes to hear the laminations of the women!

    Death Race 2000 is definitely a cult classic.  David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone before he was in Rocky, Roger Corman producing, and that’s before we even get to the cars running people over as part of a sport.
