Day 49: Wisconsin

[MasterJedi]

If the Republicans win more in the west they win can continuously win the state, if the Dems win more in the east they can continuosly win the state. If a Republican beats Doyle the state might go Rep. in 2008, if Doyle wins re-election it'll probably stay lean Dem.

you can't judge how a state is trending from a governor's race. Is Massachusetts trending Republican?

Basically what I was saying is that the state might start to trend a little more Republican if one is elected and more than likely stay the way it is if Doyle is re-elected. That could all be false and not happen or it could be true, just something I think might indicate something.

Nclib - given just how Republican those suburbs are, that is quite likely. Should apply in 2004 as well.

Why are the Milwaukee suburbs so Republican?

Good question. I know there used to be lots of Germans in Milwaukee, and they're probably mostly in the suburbs now, but whether that's the only reason I know not.

That's partially true that it's also very white and mid-upper class.

Why is Rock County so Democratic?

It's in the Madison area. Madison is the San Francisco of the midwest.

Madison's pretty liberal but not even half that bad.

Well too bad for you, Reps still have a good chance to win WI in 2008 and in 2006 (for Governor that is)

[MasterJedi]

Wisconsin is simply a well-run state. I tend to think of Wisconsin as being more liberal than Minnesota actually.

Actually your pretty wrong, some places may be but the whole state isn't.
