Local:
Assembly: John Murtha (R) -- apparently the only Repulican to win Assembly in WI that wasn't an incumbant
Sherriff: Dennis Hillstead (R) kept his position by a wide margin
State:
Attorney General: J.B. Van Hollen (R) barely won
Govenor: Doyle (D) kept his position
Marriage: Passed by a huge margin
Death Penalty: Passed by a wide margin
Federal:
3rd Congressional District: Ron Kind (D) kept his position by a huge margin
U.S. Senate: Kohl (D) kept is position by a huge margin (no surprise because the challenger didn't have much of a campaign)
Why are the Register of Deeds, Country Clerk, Treasurer, and District Attorney partisan positions? AFAIK they don't make policy so it doesn't seem important to me to which party they belong. I only care if they do a good job. Does anyone know why they are partisan?
Also, is one party controlling the House, Senate, and Presidency a sustainable position? How much has that happened in the past? I know that I am wary of it even when they are people that I support.

Hey James,
Well for me the marriage amendment was one of the most pressing issues on the ballot. I thank the lord it passed. Also I was able to volunteer for Michele Bachmann in the 6th district in Minnesota and she won. She is a true conservative and being the only freshman republican in congress, she needs prayer.
hmmm, how did my husband beat me to leaving you a comment...
Thanks for the update on the results.
