I voted for Feingold and Barrett, but my guess is that I moved to Wisconsin just in time for it to turn into a red state. Might as well have just stayed in Kansas. ---

I think Kind is safe, Feingold will eek out a win thanks to his voting record. In my opinion Scott Walker really looked good in his debates with Barrett and Tom’s negative mudslinging really turned me off. ---

Johnson has been ahead in the polls for months, currently by 9 points. Could you please explain why the polls would be so wrong on this particular race? ---

Pkbites - I bow to your prognostication skills! You da man! You had a much better grasp on the Feingold - Johnson race than I did. ---

Yeah, congratulations on having a pedophile-defender representing you in the Senate. ---

I hit on everything except Ron Kind. He squeaked by. Most predicted they would take the State Senate, but nobody predicted the Republicans would also take the Assembly except me. Some real heavy hitters in the Democratic party were clipped to pull it off. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-predictions-for-next-tuesday-wisconsin-specific/558361.md?page=1)
