All recent events have shown that America wants its fiscal conservatism with moderate, non-religious approaches to social issues.

I'd suggest those opposed to the result should move south to the state that welcomes state senators running away from their duties.
Hey! Our Illinois government is always great! We have never had a crook for a governor!!

Default Walker win doesn't erase GOP stench

With a Walker victory in WI, something terribly wrong in that state, one that will go for Obama in November. Local victory for the clueless Conservatives in that dairy state choosing not to recall this simpleton. GOP spent a great deal of money in WI to support Walker and fool the clueless with deceptive marketing.

All in all, the GOP stinks. This result doesn't change that.

Thats because people can register at the ballot box, meaning you could have 1000 people registered yesterday, but 1190 show up and the balance register before casting the vote

I currently pay almost $5,000 per year in property taxes, on a fairly modest home. Enough is enough.
Move to Cali, where the state is the most taxed in the country and the most broke. We pay over 3500 a year for our home, which was purchased for $12,500, fifty years ago. We are on the bottom of the average for the state and if Moonbeam gets his way, prop 13 will be killed and my taxes will be higher than yours.

The biggest problem with liberal politicians is that they ALWAYS create more taxes as a solution to THEIR spending habits, used mainly to buy votes from the people taking handouts. Obama money, Moonbeam money, it's all the same; OPM.

And I agree. But I'd also point out that the DNC stinks more, making the result flawless.

Wisconsin deserves the Gov they have. I'm glad they are embarrassing themselves like this, does my heart good.

Except they only had 25% by 11 a.m. and by 4 p.m. they had 48%. Even keeping pace that doesn't equate out to 119%, more like 70 - 75%.
