Mayoral Race **UPDATED

The early returns look positive for Barrett and the city of Milwaukee in general.

Exit polls give Barrett a 51-49 lead. That's too close to call right now.

However, the candidates do their own polling and they know a lot more than the TV stations right now.

The Barrett camp looks happy and upbeat.

The Pratt camp looks nervous.

UPDATE: Scott Walker wins easily (Yay!). Barrett holds his lead over Pratt. With about 74% reporting, Barrett is ahead 58-42%, up by 18,000 votes.

UPDATE II: They are calling it for Barrett with 82% in. He's got a big lead. Unless that changes, the predictions were wrong, ...it wasn't that close.

Whew!
