Kohl a Winner Already

Some are already projecting incumbent Sen. Herb Kohl will win re-election, even though the polls just closed.

Giving a rundown on Senate races on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews projected Kohl would win. At first, he called him the owner of the "Milwaukee Bulls" before he corrected himself.

At Kohl's victory party, supporters began cheering and clapping enthusiastically as national media pronounced him the winner. But the incumbent wasn't even at the party yet. Supporters say he's en route.

Republicans didn't mount much of a challenge to the long-time incumbent with Robert Gerald Lorge, while Green Party candidate Rae Vogeler received scant attention.

Also on the ballot was independent Ben Glatzel.
