MaryAnne,

Last night was a tough night for us in Wisconsin. After being outspent 8 to 1 by Scott Walker and the billionaire Koch brothers, we lost the gubernatorial recall.

But what the national media is not telling you is: I am the new Democratic Senate Majority Leader after winning an important Senate recall election by just hundreds of votes.

Starting today, Senate Democrats will be a strong check on Scott Walker's power. If Walker tries to pass extreme policies that bust unions, hurt women, or attack middle-class families, we will have one word for him: No. We will demand laws that benefit the middle class and start repairing our state.

PCCC members have stood with us in Wisconsin every step of the way.

The donations you made to the Wisconsin Democratic Party and Wisconsin Senate Democrats directly helped get out the vote that fueled last night's Senate win.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you. Despite the disappointment in the governor's race, your efforts helped us achieve victory and restore balance in our state.

I look forward to working as partners with bold progressive activists in the days, months, and years ahead.

Solidarity,

Mark Miller, incoming Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader

That's positive news to keep the wolf off the door, for now.

Thanks for sharing this, MA. You sure aren't hearing the Cons saying anything about that. At the very least there is more of a balance now in Wisconsin.

Neither are the left leaning pundits. Mathews was too busy going after Clinton. He is on this kick. No wonder I cannot even watch MSNBC now.

I watch Rachael at 4AM, Bo! Turn to Bill Press at 6AM on Current. He is my favorite. People are calling in and saying,"Thank goodness I do not have to listen to Scarborough any more!" )

taking back the majority in the senate was the harder task.

how can anyone reconcile that impressive Dem voter strength with Walker's impressive victory? How could the vote swing so strongly for the Dems in the Senate recall elections and still swing back strongly Republican for Walker in the same recall elections?

I'm talking voter swing... it never goes in opposite directions in the same election.

GWBush stole Ohio in 2004 with diebold machines.

Walker just stole Wisconsin the same way.

Sounds like the Democrat Miller is a partisan hack and wants the state back into bankruptcy.
