Wisconsin Democrats won big Tuesday night, defeating opponents in a recall election. All six official Democrats have been projected as winners by the Associated Press. When the unofficial results were totaled Tuesday night, recall candidate Shelly Moore easily won Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District primary 3,000 votes ahead of her opponent. Ms. Moore had just under 54 percent of the 35,790 votes cast and Isaac Weix had just under 45 percent. The six Democrats who won on Tuesday — Nancy Nusbaum, state Representative Sandy Pasch, Shelly Moore, state Representative Fred Clark, Jessica King and Jennifer Shilling — will now seek to unseat six incumbent Republicans in recall elections on August 9. The election results come as Wisconsin governor Scott Walker received national attention after pushing for a curtailing of collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin. “The Republicans pulled out the stops to try and beat the Democrats. They made this a mini-general election, the first real recall test, and they lost,” said former Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager. “This is a big night for the Democrats, and a big night for those of us who believe that these recalls are going to work.” “The voters of Wisconsin have rejected the Republicans’ dirty tricks, despite their best efforts to turn out voters in these primaries for fake candidates,” said Democratic Party spokeswoman Gillian Morris.

Well at least the real dead voters turned out.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
