The Election to End All Elections...for Wisconsin Treasurer?

According to WisconsinVote.org, Kurt Schuller is the treasurer-elect.

With 97% reporting:
Kurt Schuller has 53% and 1,073,600 votes.
Dawn Sass has 47% and 939,075 votes.

Conventional wisdom shows itself to hold true in Wisconsin, resulting in a massive sweep of Republican victories. Now with Republican majority in both the State Senate and State Assembly, a Republican governor, Kurt Schuller may very well be able to find the legislative support he needs to fulfill his plan to eliminate the Office of the State Treasurer and its burden on taxpayers.

Personal Prediction

Elections are tomorrow. It’s time for me to look back at the race and say who I expect to win. Although Dawn Sass is the incumbent, I pick Kurt Schuller to win.

In the primary election, more people voted for Schuller. Sass’s nepotism and expensive trips to resorts on taxpayer money will hurt Sass’s chances for re-election. Though small, the voter poll gives Schuller a large percentage of votes. Schuller has a number of endorsements and has support for his foremost plan on eliminating the Office of the State Treasurer.

Conventional wisdom also influences my prediction. The conventional wisdom predicts a Republican landslide across all the political races (article link). I believe this is true because a lot of people are unhappy with the current economy. People want change, and their votes will be to change the party in power.
