Will the corporate mainstream press write up Tuesday's Democratic wins as victories over Scott Walker's class war budget repair bill and a final vindication for the 14 Dems standing up for the wishes of their district constituency? Somehow I doubt it.
If they can factitiously write up Democrats taking two legislative seats away from Republican's during the last recall election as vindication for Walker and a victory over labor unions, certainly they have the wild imagination to rewrite this one as well. What are they paid to spin around this time?
If Walker loses 2 out of every 6 GOP districts that he carried during the General Election, he will lose in a landslide during his recall. I realize that's a big "if" but the recall process is looking better with each passing day.

I am looking at the Associated Press Wisconsin - County Vote Results
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/WI_Page_0816.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS
and Walworth County shows zero votes. They didn't vote?
That is strange. Walworth County has one precinct in that district. It wouldn't be enough to change the results but that is no reason not to report.
Just checked with Walworth Dems and they report:
"... apparently there is a tiny piece of Walworth County that is in Sen. Wirch's district but no one lives there."
