Well, as of last night the Wisconsin 14 were still "at large". I would imagine the only thing that can save this whole situation is if 3 Republican Senators "defected". Now, they know for sure that Sen. Dale Schultz will come to their side. Now, Sen. Michael Ellis, who constituency is in a big Steel Union district, he may also come over to their side. Then, they need 1 more. But they feel if the other see that 2 are voting against Walker, then others will follow. Wisconsin is a big union state and I would imagine these Republican Senators are in sympathy w/the union. Now, there is one that will not come over - Sen. Alberta Darling. 25% of her constituents have already signed to recall her. There are about 7 or 8 more that the people are trying to recall and that may make them think differently. I saw some of the WI 14 on TV yesterday again, and they are really something. This is history being made, no doubt about it.
Now here is something new. It was news to me! There is a new group - The Indiana 37! Who, at this time, (at least last nite) were at an "unknown location somewhere in Illinois". Sounds familiar??? Illinois is surrounded by these Republican Governors! Fortunately, Illinois has Gov. Quinn - a Democrat, who - it was such a close vote they didn't know for a while after Election Day who won, but he did! These 37 are House Representatives and if 6 "defect" it will all be over but they say they are a very tight group. In WI, it will take only 1 but hopefully no one will defect.
Well, I wanted to get this in - it is early in the a.m. here and I have a busy day. We will see what transpires in the political world later today.
