"Taking the Wisconsin Senate? Sure. That would've been nice.
But let me just say, if tonight was a loss, I hope we have many more such "losses" in 2012.
We took the fight into red territory, and took two seats. What was a safe 19-14 GOP advantage is now a narrow 17-16. If we had those numbers going into 2011, the anti-labor bill would never have passed--one GOPer voted with the Democrats (and hey, Sen. Dale Schultz, the water is mighty fine on our side of the aisle!)."
As incredible as it seems some on the left still refuse to admit that the Wisconsin recall elections were a defeat. It has been reported that the unions poured $15 million in Wisconsin while other reports place it as high $30 million. Anyway it was a bundle and losing 4 out of 6 elections begs the question, what would be a loss? I have no idea what a state senate campaign cost in Wisconsin but in Indiana I would say most if not all cost under $10,000. Ok math majors here's the problem: If it takes $15 million to win one third of 6 races how much would it cost to recapture all of the 700 state legislative seats the Democrats lost in 2010?
