Can Dems take back Wisconsin state senate?

There’s still a very long way to go. But for the first time, it’s fair to say that the possibility, as improbable as it still seems, is now in play.

Today Dems announced that they will file the signatures necessary to trigger a third recall election against a Wisconsin GOP state senator. The target this time: Luther Olsen.

Graeme Zielinski, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Democratic Party, tells me that Dems will file 23,931 signatures. That means Dems have collected 162% of the 14,733 required.

This comes after Dems recently announced that they had collected 145 percent of the signatures required to trigger a recall election against GOP state senator Dan Kapanke, and over 150 percent of the number required against senator Randy Hopper.
