National Commentators See Up And Downsides Of Last Tuesday's Recalls

Most progressives in Wisconsin, I'm betting, have felt the differing emotions in analyses of the Aug. 9 recalls expressed here and here.

And even more so as the day proceeds and we wait for the results from Kenosha and upnorth.

Very much so, ranging from admitting you lost big time to Baghdad Bob-ish proclamations of victory.

And it will be bitter pill to swallow when you lose a seat or two tonight.; August 16, 2011 at 8:47 PM

Jake formerly of the LP said...: Yeah, you were saying Jim? Turning 6 of 9 GOP seats into 5 of 9 Dem seats where Walker won 7 of the 9 districts smells like....WINNING!

It may not be as heated as it felt 5 months ago, but the tide has certainly turned. And it'll be even more so as the TeAA+ bagger brand becomes TOXIC.

And speaking of toxic, where was Walker during these recalls, anyway?; August 16, 2011 at 10:35 PM
