Yeah, I was going to say kind of how we're looking at this as a team is โ You know, the WoW counties, so you have, when you say WoW counties, I'll reiterate this for the audience. When they say WoW counties, that's three counties that are outside of Milwaukee. So you have Milwaukee County, you have Waukesha County, you have Ozaukee County, you have Washington County.
And the three WoW counties around Milwaukee are, If they offset Milwaukee's blueness, then you're in good shape. The second part is statewide offsetting Dane County. Dane County is where University of Wisconsin-Madison is. Charlie knows this well. You know this well because we spent so much time there this last election cycle.

We saw a double-digit shift to the right, which we've covered on your show many times now. But that's the big question mark. Right now, Brett is exactly right. We're feeling really good because of the leadership of guys like Terry,

And the work that's been done in Waukesha and other places around Milwaukee, the question is, is are we going to make sure that we have enough turnout, deep red turnout in deep red rural counties that are going to offset Dane County and UW-Madison?

And that's the work that's being done right now by not just our team, but we've got to dive in and keep reiterating, turnout must be big in western Wisconsin. It must be big.

That's right. That's right, Charlie. I mean, the biggest enemy that we have in these in these mid mid off election cycle elections is that people just don't show up. If everybody showed up, we win. And in fact, the Democrats know this. So the Democrats are out saying, and we're getting these messages coming through, and they're trying to actually quiet down the election.

And in fact, the Democrats know this. So the Democrats are out saying, and we're getting these messages coming through, and they're trying to actually quiet down the election.
And part of the reason for that is because they know when turnout's high, The more information that gets out there, the less likely they are to win. And we're seeing that in the polling. So as people have become more aware of this election here, the polling has tightened dramatically.

In fact, there was polling that was about a month ago that had Brad Schimel, who's running for Supreme Court here, down about eight points. The most recent polls in the last two days, there was one that had him up. There's another that had him down two points and another that had him with him about a point.

The most recent polls in the last two days, there was one that had him up. There's another that had him down two points and another that had him with him about a point.
And so this thing is is that what that tells you is when it's within even five points in this this type of election, you can have massive five, even close to 10 point swings based off of turnout. Right now, we are projecting that there's going to be higher turnout.

than 2023 that's a good thing for us because that means that we're going to have more people show up on our side the left has is right now we're looking at this data the left has cannibalized much like arizona for our listeners that have listened to your show all throughout this last election we were saying this all throughout the election the left was cannibalizing their high propensity voters with early ballots while we were chasing lower propensity voters

with early ballots. And we've done the same thing here in Wisconsin. The good news is that the number has been dramatically cut down from 2023. But the question will be, will it be enough? Because will turnout be good enough to deliver the victory today?
