Today, constant reader, the lovely "invisible woman" and the not-so-lovely "Mr Fantastic" will be pleased as proverbial punch to provide the particulars of polling in our perfectly proud and patriotic city.
Lord how I loves me some alliteration.
I am overjoyed to report that if the old adage of high turnout favoring the challenger is true (blue), then the Walker/Koch sycophant known as David "the turd" Prosser will be folding faster than Superman on laundry day. As quantification I offer not only word of mouth observation, but also personal experience.
News is around town that as early as 8:00 a.m. the lines around many City of Madison precincts were extending down the blocks of their specific sites. Moreover, consider the following: when yer pal, "MF", voted in the disastrous November mid-term, he was voter #42 at approximately 9:00 a.m.
Today at 8:45 a.m., "MF" was voter #257.
Can turnout be that high? Could it remain at about 6 times the rate of November all across the state? I very much doubt THAT, but consider this: If the voters can achieve a turnout rate of 65% in Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, LaCrosse, Wausau, and Steven's point...barring some sort of devilish Koch-brother's action pulled from a truly fetid bag o' dirty tricks... she will win.
"IW/MF" heard on Saturday night, via a tea-party-esque acquaintance that he knows Prosser will likely lose. He claimed that one of his friends works for a GOP Assemblyman, and that this friend was saying that Prosser's internal numbers were "dismal". What's more, Prosser blames the usual suspects (rather than his own flaws and Walkoch's dramatic political overreaching) for his potential loss. You know, the "liberal" (WTF?) media, the unions, and 3rd party ads that Kloppenburg won't demand be removed.
So... we will keep you updated. Look for updates after the jump!
