To give an idea of the way things are going in WI, I was voter #72 in my Ward, 30 minutes after the polls opened... and the lines yesterday for early/absentee voting were huge. I think what's driving the turnout here is not just the House race, which is pretty much a non-race, but the referendums on gay marriage and the death penalty, both of which have been the subject of a truly inspiring number of bumperstickers. ;-)
