Five good things to come out of the Wisconsin recall elections last night

[mvd]

- Assuming we win next week's recalls, gaining two seats in a recall election would be historic. The corporo-media just says "loss" as if everything is binary.

- These were all supposedly safe Repuke seats.

- We're chipping away at the disastrous policies of the right. Walker is the real prize, and this shows we are heading in the right direction.

- The one moderate Repuke is all we need to flip to prevent more hard right legislation from being enacted.

- Democrats came out to vote. These elections never would have been either won or close without them.

Feel free to add yours.

2. Wisconsinites built an organizing network

and teams of activists that will remain intact and make the next steps possible to launch faster.

4. Several media headlines have been spinning this as a GOP win.

...as though these were routine election bids and the GOP won four out of six.

6. I agree. This was a huge victory for Dems!

I'm disgusted about how the MSM is spinning it for the Repukes. :(

8. They can spin it however they want,

but, they lost two seats. They had six to lose and only lost four, I guess in a twisted way that could be seen as a win.

9. And now we turn our attention to Walker (after we sew up..

our recall wins next week.) While the 8th district result again came in late and was suspicious to me, if the Party won't pursue it, it's best to think about the positives and look ahead.

10. GOP-leaning SuperPACs blew lots of $... money they could've used in 2012
