Recounting the future of Kloppenburg

I happened across what I'd term a typical talk-radio discussion on WSAU in Wausau.  The host was going on and on about JoAnne Kloppenburg requesting the recount that he said is her right under Wisconsin law in the Supreme Court race wth David Prosser.

And then a funny thing happened.

I agreed with him.

Well, not for 99% of it, but for some of it, anyway.

I, too, agree that I don't think a 0.48% margin will be reversed.  As I wrote in a previous post , just as the conservative talker discussed, I don't believe the recall should be done because of the expense and the relative futility of any significant change (although--surprise,surprise--Minnesota's losing Republican 2010 gubernatorial candidate did the same thing with about the same margin--0.42%) .   And the host said it was likely that Kloppenburg's camp would try to get the Brookfield votes declared illegal and thrown out (which, I agree, if they are found to be illegal, I would expect they should be thrown out).

But then the host mentioned something I hadn't really considered, that the recount would keep the issue alive and energize non-conservative Wisconsin voters for the upcoming recalls.

I thought about it, and I agreed again.

Gosh, I hope he's right (I mean, correct).
