BREAKING: (D) Kagen Wins WI-08 (called by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Tue Nov 07, 2006 at 09:54:25 PM PDT

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Democrat Steve Kagen has defeated GOP state assembly speaker John Gard.  Kagen is currently leading 52.4% to 47.6% with 67% of precincts reporting!

Woo hoo!  Wisconsin loses one of the nastiest, most partisan assembly speakers and gains a great representative in the House!  Congratulations Steve Kagen!! [UPDATE: in my haste, I failed to note that this is a Dem pickup, as the seat was formerly held by Republican Mark Green (who lost to Democratic incumbent Jim Doyle in the gubernatorial race). Woo Hoo!!! ]
