In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver has Florida light blue today with a 59.2% Obama win prediction for November 6! UPDATED [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)32. Hey, I just re-read it for the third time
Believe me, I am very sympathetic. Tommy Thompson was a joke here in DC, I mean literally, people laughed at him.
I just can't get started on Walker, Nicholas, the Fitzgeralds but I think I can imagine how you feel because they are a disgrace to Wisconsin, as they would be anywhere, but handy for the Koch Brothers to reach out and buy, so I am with you. I hope they go down, and big time.
It is time for the people of Wisconsin to get their state back. For a long time, that state was recognized for being the home of the labor movement and the epitome of fair elections. Maybe when the dust of these elections settle, it will be again.

OP
Whenever I read "oh my god we're gonna lose" I got to Nate's site and calm down.

The best thing him about losing both races is it would pretty much finish his political career

It is one of the things truly delicious to think about during this horrendous election season

I dunno--for me, I feel way more comfortable when I think about the ec vote in 2008.
