Neumanns arrive at Election Night party

Mark Neumann and his family arrived at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield by 7:45 p.m. He and his wife Sue beamed as they greeted supporters.

"Here we go," Neumann said. "This is it."

Dozens of Neumann campaigns signs in green and gold lined the parking lot and the ballroom inside, where guests were mingling and enjoying drinks.

By 8:40 p.m., nearly 60 people have arrived, and the mood is upbeat in the room.

A gigantic American flag is stretched behind a podium where Neumann will speak, along with a Neumann campaign banner that reads, "Neumann '12: Balanced budget. Repeal Obamacare."

Guests' name tags are miniature replicas of the Neumann campaign signs.
