They had a non-partisan Primary in Feb, Prosser had 55% of the vote Kloppenburg 24%, even if you add in the other candidates, that is a rather decent margin for Prosser.
Things certainly did get tighter as a result of everything else going on in the state.
But how many people voted in that election vs. the current one?
Kloppenburg should write Walker a thank you letter. Without his help she would have a had a 1 in 100 chance of winning. Now the Wisconsin Supreme Court has a liberal majority. Thanks Scott.
I still think that voter fraud needs to be checked out first. When you had politicians fleebagging, tax funded workers refusing to go to work, fake doctor notices, etc there is a big chance that they would stoop to voter fraud. Would it surprise any of you? The Left will do whatever it takes to "win", no matter how illegal.
Let's say there is a recount, and no voter fraud is found out and she does indeed win. I hope the Governor has plenty of pink slips and fires as many of these Union brats as needed. Then they can thank their beloved Unions for not having a job. Cant wait to see all the whining and crying over that.
It's a bit amusing to see the left get overjoyed over her possible win. The ONLY reason they are happy is because they know if Unions lose their power, the Democrats lose money and power. That would be a huge blow to the liberal machine. These people dont care about the people, the tax payers. It's about their agenda.

Talk about whining and crying. What a sore loser. Give me a break with the agenda bit. It's all about Walker's agenda and his rich buddies.
Complete the historic analogy, Ken. What happened next?
Answer: Hitler created state-sponsored unions. Much like the Dems are trying to do in WI.
Not really.
What Hitler created was a union with NO RIGHT of COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FOR THEIR PAY (a LOT like what WALKER and the GOP did) and NO RIGHT TO STRIKE.
Let's see - a union with NO collective bargaining rights and NO right to strike.
Hmmmmmm - not really a union anymore - but ABSOLUTELY what you have in Wisconsin under the GOP's new law - and LOT like Hitler set up.
PS - if the wingnuts want to know what kind of hornets nest their union-busting actions have stirred up, consider the following:
In Prossers LAST regular election, he garnered 99.54% of the 550,000 votes cast. Let me REPEAT THAT: Last time he had 99.54% of the vote - in other words NEARLY EVERY SINGLE VOTE (all but roughly 2,500 of HALF A MILLION PLUS).
And what happened THIS time?
Even if a recount gives him the win, it's still a pretty powerful wake up call that someone who previously got virtually every single vote could even COME CLOSE to losing.
Clearly a LOT of folks are riled up.
"As further proof that Governor Walker and his party are in for a very bad year, we can look to the election for Milwaukee County Executive, where Democrat Chris Abele destroyed the Republican candidate Rep. Jeff Stone (an assembly member who supported the anti-collective bargaining law) by a margin of 61-39.
Abele wins the seat left vacant by none other than Scott Walker who left the job to become the governor."
