11:30 Eastern – AP Calls race for former Governor Tommy Thompson — the more conservative/Tea Party vote was split between Hovde and Neumann, with Fitzgerald pulling in just over 10%, allowing Thompson to win with just over one-third of the vote.

This apparently is a real tweet from Emily’s List, calling the moderate Thompson an extremist:

We are all extremists now (but you knew that).
