If Kloppenburg wins, it will be a stiff repudiation of the state's
republican governor. The gov's man also lost in a race to run the
Milwaukee county government.


A "stiff repudiation" would be a landslide win. A win by 200 votes
out of a million is a dead heat, and is statistically insignificant.
Virtually half the state supports the governor.

One has to wonder how much the *unions* spent on the election. :-



Until a few weeks ago, the Repub incumbent was expected to walk away
with the race. The Repubs outspent the Dems. And the loss in Milwaukee
is significant, too.

If both Dems win, it will be a slap in the fact to the anti-worker
governor. The loss on the state court will be significant to his plans.
