>From what I have seen, while the two Dems up for Recall have to be vigilant
next week in the recall elections, they will most likely keep their seats.

Some background: Democrats needed to retain all 3 of their Senate seats under recall and win 3 of 6 GOP recall seats to take control of the Senate (the recalls were in response to Gov Walker's successful attempt to smash collective bargaining). Things aren't looking too good on that front:
Democrats have retained one of their seats in an election held last week. Two more are coming up next week. Of the six GOP, three have now been called for the incumbents. Which means Dems will need to win all three remaining ones, all of which are too close to call at this point.
What all this says about the state of US and Wisconsin politics and the mood of the electorate I leave to you to inform me on,
