Erpenbach tells Barrett crowd race isn't over yet
State Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton) just took to the stage at the downtown Hilton and told supporters of Mayor Tom Barrett that, despite The Associated Press and several networks calling the race for Gov. Scott Walker, that Barrett was still in it because many votes had not yet been counted.
"Let's include the city of Milwaukee," he shouted. "Let's include Racine. It's going to be a long night. Stay with us. "
The crowd then broke into a chant "Barrett! Barrett! Barrett!"
