The Bad News: The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is very, very close, and may be headed for a recount.
But conservative candidate David Prosser is currently leading extremist whackdoodle liberal JoAnne Kloppenberg by a razor-thin margin…
…that might be headed for a recount, and thence to lawsuits with all sorts of union-paid lawyers that wind up in front of the very court for whom the elections are being held. Which is deadlocked.
But even with 99% of the vote counted, fewer than 600 votes – about 0.04% of ballots – separated the candidates. And The Associated Press said early Wednesday that the race was too close to call and that it would take hours or most of the day to get a final tally.
That close margin had political insiders from both sides talking about the possibility of a recount, which Wisconsin has avoided in statewide races in recent decades. Any recount could be followed by lawsuits – litigation that potentially would be decided by the high court.
The good news? The election – held as Wisconsin is still up in arms (almost literally) over the collective bargaining squabble – shows on a statewide level that the Dems’ much-ballyhooed recall effort is likely, for the most part, to squib.
Unfortunately, it’s well within the margin of fraud. I’m certain the Democrats in ‘Sconnie are on the phone to the DFL now for a few pointers on how pick-up the votes needed to put Kloppenberg over the top. Prosser should be putting out the call for lawyers and money first thing this morning – although given the violent nature of Democrats everywhere, but particularly in ‘Sconnie, better make that Lawyers, Guns and Money.
We can also hope that the WI recall campaign does relieve some of the Fleebaggers of the onerous task of representing the people who elected them. Then they can spend as much time as they want in Illinois.

An APB should be put out to all the airports, bus & train depots, and border crossings, in keeping a watchful eye out for the Mark “Scoundrel” Ritchie.
You all better get some sharp, aggressive lawyers in there and get them there soon. Like yesterday soon.
And don’t use Coleman’s legal team.
AND DON’T USE COLEMAN’S LEGAL TEAM!! Apply, Rinse, Repeat!!
UPDATE:
The latest poll results show Joanne Kloppenburg now leads Justice David Prosser by 369 votes of the nearly 1.5 million cast.

Man, if the unions trucked in enough outside fraud to pull this off, I fear greatly that at least IN and possibly OH will not pull it off either.
