More: CNN, ABC, Fox News call Wisconsin recall election for Gov. Scott Walker - via @Reuters

• RT @Bencjacobs: Exit polls only have Barrett winning 18-29 52-46% and no other age demos. Explains why he got beat so badly tonight.

• Um.. RT @WeGotEd: It's gonna be a long night...its a tight one..

• According to The Washington Post -- Recalls are very rare — especially successful ones — and only 19 states even permit them.

  The last governor who was successfully recalled was California’s Gray Davis (D) in 2003, when Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) succeeded him. Before him, the only previous example was North Dakota’s Lynn Frazier in 1921.

  In Wisconsin, only four state senators (including the two last year) have been recalled in the state’s history.

  Only three times in American history has a recall election switched party control of a legislative chamber: In Michigan in 1983, Wisconsin in 1996 and California in 1995.

• More triumph from Priebus: “Wisconsin has given their stamp of approval to Gov. Walker’s successful reforms that balanced the budget, put people back to work, and put government back on the side of the people.

  “After tonight’s results, Democrats and the Obama campaign are surely nervous. As Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said, this election was a ‘dry run’ for the presidential election. But after President Obama actively avoided Wisconsin and Tom Barrett, one of his earliest supporters, it is hard to imagine how he can now come back to Wisconsin and credibly ask for his party’s support in November. The president abandoned his base in this recall, so he shouldn’t be surprised if they return the favor in November.

  “Wisconsin Democrats now head into November dispirited and in disarray, while Republicans remain strong and organized, with momentum on our side.”

• RT @BenjySarlin: Wow, it's almost like exit poll toplines shouldn't be trusted and indeed aren't even meant to be used that way

Interest to contrast sentiment in Wisconsin to California when Davis was recalled.

• And now the race for State Senate begins. The numbers are tracking very close to Walker's.
