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

by Smitty

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:

• Robocalls lying
• Recall recount preps
• Dems cry foul
• Obama emails for Barrett
• Nasty robocalls
• Dems claim dirty tricks
• Wisconsin votes

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:

Polls in #WI closed. Preliminary exit polls show Walker/Barrettt 50/50 . #DEM #GOP — Shirley C (@ghhshirley) June 6, 2012

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

4% Reporting: Walker 56 – Barrett 43. Kleefisch 56 – Mitchell 44 #WI

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.

5% reporting in #WI Walker 58%, Barrett 41%

21:37 PM EST: Unexpected new White House spokesman Sgt.

Walker’s big win costs me $10 because I bet the under. Blame the Koch brothers. #tcot — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) June 6, 2012

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