Norm Coleman went into the recount with a lead of 215 votes out of nearly 3 million cast, and the recount and challenge resulted in a Franken victory of 312 votes. Assuming Prosser maintains an 835-vote lead before a recount, it’s a significant number with a smaller pool of challenges than we saw in Minnesota."<br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/06/prosser-edging-kloppenburg-in-votes-recount-all-but-assured/viatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210255358385745222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-64504439519169263182011-04-06T08:54:47.739-04:002011-04-06T08:54:47.739-04:00Just imagine how much worse off they'd be with...Just imagine how much worse off they'd be without the government collecting their dues for them....f2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/15461747765755572743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-5237896238987778322011-04-06T08:43:46.712-04:002011-04-06T08:43:46.712-04:00Yes, Big Labor is far from invulnerable.
This ele...Yes, Big Labor is far from invulnerable.<br /><br />This election hinged entirely on a massive voter turnout in Dane county (the home of the University of Madison). Over 180,000 votes were counted, compared to 280,000 for the 2008 presidential election - nearly 65% of the turnout, accounting for an 85,000 vote edge for the challenger, Kloppenburg.<br /><br />In contrast, the largest Prosser county, Waukesha, only had 47% of the voters that voted in 2008. Had they matched the turnout in Dane county and the percentages held, Prosser would have won by nearly 30,000 votes.<br /><br />Coulda, shoulda, woulda, I know. But it's clear that Big Labor can be beaten. It's time for the conservative base to re-energize and get to the polls.AJsDaddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322147619027300486noreply@blogger.com
