GOP Wins Recall Battle in Wisconsin

Posted on Comments

Outspent 2-to-1 by Democrats and unions, Republicans held onto control of the Wisconsin state senate, winning four of six challenged seats in Tuesday’s recall elections. And next week, two Democrat senators will face their own recall challenges. Allahpundit live-blogged the whole thing and concludes: “After months of agitation over the collective bargaining law, the supreme court election, and now the recalls, [the Democrats] haven’t regained control of anything.”

Democrats are claiming the GOP cheated. Given the abject corruption of the Democrats and their union-goon allies, that’s rather an ironic charge. It’s like being accused of incivility by Al Sharpton. Speaking of whom . . .

  2. If Obama loses re-election, I almost guarantee it will push Sharpton over the edge maybe to having a stroke, if he doesn’t have one before then. Reminds me of Amy Winehouse on stage in Serbia.

  3. That money the unions and others spent to try to defeat the Republicans, is less money they will have use to pay for other campaigns. That also means less money for Obama too.

  4. Hopefully, that money won’t simply be replaced from Soros’ newly acquired $10 billion kitty (his wager on the downgrade, as rumor would have it).  

  8. What’s with Sharpton?  Been in Barry’s stash?  Does he need contacts?  I suspect MSNBC already knows they have a loser on their hands – they’re deliberately sloooowly scrolling his script, so he looks like an even bigger lump.

  12. Wow, a Kos Kool-Aider whining about Republican money, and cheating. I can’t engage people like this, so kindly relate to the writer that Democrat chances of doing that well in Republican-held House districts are very, very slim. Pick up 33% of them? A lot can change between now and then, granted, but I doubt things will change that much.

  13. We might find Sharpton in a ditch, with a bag over his head, covered with feces…

    Oh wait, been there, done that. 

  14. I was starting to think Wisconsin had bad cheese and it was making everyone there insane.  There are some sane people there.

  16. Yeah, I love how Kos extrapolates a winning percentage from a special election in one state with 1/5 of one legislative branch on the ballot and thinks that it’s going to translate on the national stage.  Delusional much?  

  17. On top of that, one of the two Republicans that got beat by rights probably shouldn’t have been there to begin with. His election in that district was a fluke, one of those anomalies that happen from time to time. His defeat last night was expected. The other race the Democrats won was so close it could have easily gone either way.

  23. Tsk tsk, Anamika, tsk tsk!

    Grasped straws are not a reflection of reality, but an measure of desperation.

    Tsk tsk, Anamika, tsk tsk!

  24. Did you think perhaps there is someone who loves you all and sees the folly of grasping straws? Did you think perhaps taking sides digs a hole and buries love? Did you think that once an Anamika  is in your heart, you stop thinking about……? Just wondering about bipartisan Love….Ana

  27. According to ACE the left outspent by 2 to 1, it would be interesting to know how much of that was spent defending the two Social Democrat’s seats.

  32. Tsk tsk, Anamika, tsk tsk!

    Psychobabble nonsense is not an appropriate response to a rational statement.  This is telling here in that you clearly agree that you are indeed grasping at straws, in particular, and tilting at windmills, in general.

    Tsk Anamika, tsk tsk!
