Your long, national nightmare of robocalls, push polling, and unwanted knocks at your door are about to stop.
I'll put five bucks on Wirch and Holperin to retain their seats, and then we can all settle into the joys of a 17-16 Senate. For effective, reasonable governance, there is no majority any better than a 17-16 majority.

Stop? I think the correct word is pause - as in a temporary break. Most on the left who pushed for the recalls seemed to believe that despite losing most of the recalls, it was a huge win and means they only have to pick off two more. And apparently, $15 million per senate seat is a reasonable price to pay.
The reprieve will be very short-lived.
Not a "huge win" for the Dems, but I see it as a chance for moderation and cooperation to return. I think some of the more moderate Republicans were afraid to go against the Walker-Fitzgerald juggernaut, but they may be more willing to work with moderate Democrats now that it's almost evenly split. We'll see if the Schultz-Cullen bandwagon picks up some more followers.
