First Kapanke lost in a highly Democratic area that has always been supported by Democrats. Hopper didn't lose by much and his original election with King was close in 2008 so yeah huge win for the dems!
These recall elections and the Kloppenberg vs Prosser elections were at the height of the democratic support. You have no idea the amount of out of state people that have been here and the ridiculous amount of money that was spent for the dems. The fact is when the Dems were playing their best ballgame they fell short. Once the teachers, the public union workers and the tax payers of this state realize what is happening isn't really bad and it is actually working the dems are done in this state. They rushed this thru as fast as they could (before people realize the repair bill will be a good thing and before they get their property tax bill in Dec) playing as many games as possible and they lost. Dems most likely will lose one more seat next week so net gain is one seat if that happens. $30+ million for 1 seat. I guess you can call it a win. Keep spending money in our state we could use the revenue.
