12. The entire nation didn't vote in this recall. A divisive Republican leaning district with motivated
voters did.

17. Me, too, ProudToBeBlueInRhody. Me, too.

6. Republicans get out the vote. They really do.
Walker has an eighty-seven percent approval rating with Republicans and they are motivated to vote in these districts.

8. So did they just decide to stop counting all the votes or something?
Cause it's still at 82% apparently...

11. Koch,

13. Because Dems never turn out in enough numbers in elections like these.
People showed up in '08 for Obama.

16. It's always interesting to hear where the lost votes were hiding
In Waukesha County. Can't wait to hear the explanation.
