http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/wisconsin-recall-results
I know little about the State, but its clear there's more there than Madison and Milwaukee. Dems DID regain a majority in the State Senate, though, which means quite a lot.
Basically, I suspect its due to all the out of State $$$ the repugs had to spend on propaganda, compared with little for the Democrat Barrett, which was enabled by Citizens United and a 198? Wisconsin decision concerning what an incumbent may spend on a recall election.
Clearly my response isnot related to astrology!
