Last
night, I noted that all 4 of the contested Senate seats in the
Wisconsin recall had been won by the incumbent Republicans. Not true --
one seat went to the Democrats, giving them a 17-16 majority in the
State Senate.
However......
"...the Wisconsin Senate will be out of session until 2013. In November, 16 of the 33 seats will be up for grabs, and thanks to the redistricting that will be in place for the first time in that election, Republicans are supposed to pick up at least two seats. The unions spent millions of dollars and over a year’s worth of effort to get a temporary one-seat majority in a chamber that will never meet in session. And that’s assuming that their lone win from last night holds up in a recount. Congratulations, Big Labor!"
