Wisconsin was indeed a "Referendum"

If an imaginary 204 vote win for Kloppenburg was "a clear referendum against the anti-union stance taken by Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans", then what does the left call what in reality turned out to be an almost 8,000 vote victory for Prosser???

Here is the Great Red Hope declaring premature victory.

Wisconsinites Strike the First Blow 
The Supreme Court election in Wisconsin was the first battle in a protracted fight for democracy.
Wisconsin voters, angered by recent political developments, turned out at the polls in huge numbers to vote for the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates, David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg. Wisconsin has become the battleground for the middle-class.
What appeared to be an easy reelection for incumbent Supreme Court Justice, David Prosser, ended up being a dead heat with newcomer, Assistant District Attorney JoAnne Kloppenburg -- the apparent winner by 204 votes. Kloppenburg recovered from a 30% deficit in the non-partisan election just two months ago. Nearly one-and-a-half-million voters cast their ballots on Wednesday.

This was a clear referendum against the anti-union stance taken by Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans. Other states' Republican Governors in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and New Jersey have pushed a similar agenda in an effort to eliminate collective bargaining rights of public unions in their states and are facing the same resistance.
