Former senators seeking a comeback term who voted for Obamacare in 2010 seem to have both fallen short. Former Senator Evan Bayh lost by a solid 52 to 42 percent margin, with 74 percent of precincts reporting, to Republican Congressman Todd Young. And Republican Senator Ron Johnson, who beat incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in 2010, apparently beat him again, currently leading 52 to 45 percent, with 57 percent of precincts reporting (including 84 percent in Milwaukee County and 53 percent in the state capital’s Dane County, the two major sources of Democratic margins in the state.)
