And the Winner is...

J B Van Hollen

As predicted, the winner of the Senate and Governor were from one party and that party took the Attorney General seat along with it. Republican J B Van Hollen won out against his opponent Scott Hassett in the polls, beating him 57.8% to 42.2%.

To say I am disappointed with this election would be an outrageous understatement. Only around 38% of Wisconsinites voted on November 2nd. 38%. To think that 38% of Wisconsin can accurately define what the whole states wants is absurd, but there you have it. Those who voted Republican come out in larger numbers, partly, I fear, because Democrats didn't do much to get the vote out until the last minute.

So, Wisconsin has gone into the red, as many Democratic seats were taken over by Republicans, and as Van Hollen held his Attorney General seat. I don't think it bodes well for the kind of Wisconsin I would like to see, but we will just have to wait and see what the party does for out state.
