The loss was only a couple hundred votes at this point, so he'll probably ask for a recount.

As for the rest of yesterdays' Wisconsin elections:

Also where did you get that prosser will support walkers agenda?

Prosser's record speaks for itself. The only reason this race is close is because of the ridiculous amount of $ spent for Kloppenburg's campaign

His words, speaking. His campaign was advertising it, too.

BTW, the Wisconsin AG also sent out an e-mail the night before the election to his "friends" saying Prosser must be elected to hold the Republican-Walker agenda.

LOL - Yeah, the GOP outsiders spent nearly twice that! They shoulda won!

The edge is now back to Kloppenberg, BTW - up 300 or so now. It will go back and forth until it's certified. Kloppenberg has this.

Unfortunately for, "You bitch! I'll destroy you!" Prosser, his record does speak for itself.

Please find me where prosser stated this. I do not believe you.

This election may not be finalized for years

Just google Prosser says he'll complement Walker

It was from a campaign news release from Prosser's campaign in 12/10, so look for that original. Prosser later tried to walk it back and deny it. Try this for some background

12/09/2010 http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/111603909.html

It was heavily discussed during the campaign, and was the basis for two anti-Prosser ads shown in Wisconsin. You seriously are unawares of it? Probably one of the main reasons Prosser lost - saying you promise to be a non-impartial activist judge for Walker and the GOP isn't flying with Democrats or union folks right now - let alone independents that think Supreme Court judges shouldn't promise to be political and "complement" the legislative and executive branches!

This election may not be finalized for years

Huh? It will be finalized in about a week, and Kloppenberg takes up her position on the State Supreme court in August, I think.

Think before talking riot. Prosser now leads but frankly this will go to a recount! Thankfully election is over can answer phone without having to hear political crap. Lol

Riot... Prosser is leading in votes.

[Riot]

Prosser and Kloppenberg have been going back and forth all afternoon, guys, with 50 here and 100 there.

However: breaking late this afternoon, being reported late today on NPR that there is a 14,000 vote discrepancy between what the AP reported and what the canvassers found today in, of all places, Waukesha County: 11,000 more for Prosser, 3,000 more for Kloppenburg. That would put Prosser 8,000 ahead at this point.

One doesn't have to "think", nebrady, you just have to keep up with the changing vote counts as it went through the afternoon - they traded off several times.

If the "find" of 14,000 previously uncounted votes (!) in Waukesha is true, that would definitively put Prosser up, out of recount range.

The head of the DNC for waukesha county was at the press conference and stated that they are true

Also there are numerous claims of voter fraud, which continues to be a problem since we do not require photo ID in WI.

As for your article on prosser from Dec. You might want to actually read it and use your own brain before you make statements like you did about prosser.

The judge has already allowed La Follette to get his own lawyers, as it was clear the Wisconsin AG was not litigating to protect his interests.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/loc...cc4c03286.html

Secretary of State Doug La Follette is asking the state Supreme Court to withdraw his appeal of a judge's order barring him from publishing Gov. Scott Walker's bill curbing most public sector collective bargaining, telling the court that he never asked for the appeal.

In a document filed with the high court on Wednesday, La Follette's lawyer, Roger Sage, wrote that there was a conflict of interest between La Follette and the state attorney general's office, which was representing La Follette, when the AG's office sought to appeal a March 18 order by Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi that stopped La Follette from publishing Walker's union law.
