Milwaukee is Walker by 8 points with 7% reported.
Dane is Barrett by 11, with 18% reporting.
Brown is Walker by 20 points with 60% reporting.
Citizens United. Especially if you butcher the unions.
Oh, right.
Walker got 8x the money and incumbency. Obama maybe should have campaigned, but he's got bigger fish to fry. Ultimately, more Wisconsin voters picked Walker, which sucks

A 10:1 money ratio and only a month for Barrett to campaign is what's wrong with people in Wisconsin.
They would get hammered on the hypocrisy considering in 2008 Obama outspent McCain almost 3:1. Plus it would pretty much require Obama to take public finances, which would prevent him from outspending Romney in the upcoming election.
right?
there's still a point that their projections could be wrong.
or should I start hoping that Vee isn't near anything sharp?
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
With a quarter of the vote in and all the races we see sitting at 60/40, sadly it's over.
But hey, maybe we will see Walker arrested in the next couple of weeks.
They got way more conservative about calling stuff after 2000. These days, it's pretty much a done deal if they're calling something.
The results are going to close a bit when more Milwaukee votes come in.
It's not going to close 20 points.
Except in 2008, Obama didn't build his margin on foreign money.
Walker's lead is almost entirely based on out-of-state money.
Barrett may have only campaigned that long, but "anyone but Walker" was a strong sentiment for a long time.
Blaming the national Dems for this is outrageous. People are taking up not only for Walker but for the State Senators in recalls. This is on Wisconsin.

The alternative view point is that most of Walker's financing came from out of state, whereas Obama's came from in-(nation )state.
Also, I would be willing to settle for Barrett winning or a Prosser-like recount just so the idiots in the building across the alley from me stop shouting "Walker!" Probably not worth the millions of dollars just to shut people up though.
Barret has also closed from 38-61 to 41-58 so there is moderate progress as the counting continues.
you mean you're not?

money doesn't really buy elections. if the margin of victory is worse than before(which it looks like now) then the blame goes on wisconsinites.
Their pro-Barrett spread is as large as Dane County, and those three are the only places that seem to have gone so heavily Democratic.
I'd guess the urban precincts reported first. Don't start looking for problems until the reporting is nearly finished.
I didn't mean to suggest there were problems - I just don't know the geography and wondered why that area is so much more D than the surrounding counties.
He's going to turn Wisconsin into Winsconsin.
Fixed.
How so? It is an odd graph to be sure (it's not immediately obvious what it is communicating).
