6:45 PM PT: Not so good: In the chunk of Washington County which just reported, Sandy Pasch is 6 points behind Kloppenburg.
6:48 PM PT: You may have noticed that Shilling is tied with Kapanke. That's okay. As long as she's up before La Crosse reports, she'll be alright.
6:50 PM PT: The Clark-Olsen race just tightened to 51-49 in favor of Olsen, with 27% of precincts in.
6:53 PM PT: The problem for Clark, though, is that he's underperforming KloJo by about 3% in what should be favorable territory in Columbia County - and hostile Waupaca hasn't reported yet.
6:57 PM PT: Just to explain once again: A key thing we're doing here is comparing tonight's Democratic numbers to how well JoAnne Kloppenburg did in the Supreme Court race in April - a race which ended in an almost exact 50-50 tie. Four Dems need to outperform Kloppenburg's #s in their districts to beat Republicans tonight. So far, that isn't happening.
