#1 The local news outlets are saying that the unions probably spent close to $60M so far to unseat the six Republican state senators elected last fall. The polling places have both in and out of state union 'poll watchers' from as far away as Ohio and Tennessee (all wearing anti-Walker tee-shirts). The worst areas to vote in are the areas around Milwaukee where these 'pool watchers' actually are confronting the voters as they enter the polling places.
Where are the police and voting officials? Three guesses.

#3 'Pool Watchers'? Probably above their pay grade (except for seniority, 'bumping' and all that).

I really meant 'Poll Watchers'.

Looks like the 'watchers' have lowered their tone a bit as many of the local radio and TV stations are now calling attention to their antics.

The night is still young, though.
