AG: Down to the Wire

I've been watching the numbers come in for Wisconsin's Attorney General.

J.B. Van Hollen is still hanging on to his lead over Kathleen Falk.

It's nearly a dead heat.

With 96% of the precincts reporting, there's just 7,500 votes separating the two.

I am hoping that Van Hollen holds on.

If Falk prevails, the corrupt Jim Doyle will be given free rein to abuse the power that the people of Wisconsin chose to entrust to him.

The race is so close that I suspect there will be a recount.

Ever since the 2000 Florida recount hell, I cringe at the thought of it.

If that's what it takes, then that's what it takes.

We need an AG that will take on Doyle. We don't need the rubberstamp Falk.

UPDATE: Woo hoo! We have a winner -- Van Hollen!

Jim Doyle must be saying, "Boo hoo!"

He counted on Falk being part of the Axis of Casinos. He was counting on her turning a blind eye to his corruption and protecting him.

UPDATE UPDATE:

Kathleen Falk will not concede the election.

Falk for Attorney General Campaign Manager Tim Del Monico issued the following statement on the Attorney General’s race election returns.

“Kathleen Falk has called JB Van Hollen to wish him the best. Given the narrowness of the election results, we will review the official canvas when it is completed by the Elections Board and evaluate the options at that time.”
