I believe the WI Primaries yesterday sent a very strong signal about the mood of the state.

It's hard to believe that all the likely-voting supporters of the Republican incumbents wouldn't have been out voting for the fake Democrats. The fact that they failed in every instance (by <65% of the vote in 5/6 cases) is likely to be strongly predictive of the August vote.

Tell ya all the truth, I was kinda sweating things because of the vast amount of money poured into the fake-Dem campaigns by sinister outside forces. JoAnne Kloppenberg's loss had made me damn nervous, made me wonder if low-budget populism could survive in a world saturated by right-wing media & ads.

Well, folks, this blowout has reaffirmed my faith in the good citizens of Packerstan.

2. Me too. I really thought a few of those fake Dems would win because

of Pukes out voting for them. Glad it didn't happen. Now just looking towards August!

6. Agreed! bit it behooves everyone to pay attention t the fact that the GAB banned exit polling

yesterday. That menas no exit polling during the next election. that means no way to have any forewarning if there is mass election theft.

8. No real message will be sent until those Republican Senators are voted out.

I only hope people are roused enough to do that. Remember they won their elections by a sizable amount in the first place. Does anyone believe all the Republicans will suddenly decide not to vote?

10. Not all won by a sizeable amount.

Kapanke and Hopper were very close and they were among the first recalled.

The most successful recall in terms of numbers filed was a guy who was unopposed in 2008 and won with 89% in 2004 (Robert Cowles). 166% of the needed signatures were filed in the Cowles recall (Disclaimer-- I worked on that recall).
