Election Results in Wisconsin

Some amazing outcomes in Wisconsin this primary season.

In the district 4 democratic primary State Senator Gwen Moore (the most progressive candidate) swamped the to white guys handily. Many thought the white vote would be split by Flynn and Carpenter but clearly most white liberals and Latinos voted for Moore sending Wisconsin's first black female to Congress. I assume this will be the case because District 4 tends to vote 75% Democratic.

The other suprise in Wisconsin was the poor showing of car guy Russ Darrow who lost to Tim Michels a ex Green Beret and Construction millionaire in the Republican primary for US Senate. Feingold should beat this right-wing lunatic with ease.

Another ominous development was the election win for Glen Grothman in the West Bend area. Grothman challenged Mary PAnzer the Senate Majority leader and beat her 79-21! This guy is so far right he was recently seen hanging out with Eva Braun!
