With 80% of the precincts counted, the R in the 8th (Darling) has opened up a 3,000 vote lead. Tough to overcome that with only maybe 10-12000 votes left to count. But I guess it depends on what precincts are outstanding. The race still hasn't been called, so I guess people who know the area much better than me (which would be just about anybody!<g>) think the outcome is still in doubt. Still, 4-2 isn't bad, especially in districts that lean Republican in normal times. On the other hand, Walker just signed into law the redistricting that supposedly will make the GOP even stronger in Wisconsin. WHEN will we do something about gerrymandering?!
