I would say independents are the largest factor. Wisconsin, especially in the rural areas as well as the Green Bay Metro, has a lot of swingy, "decide on the day-of" voters. I've spent quite a bit of time in the state and the voters there are not at all afraid to label themselves as being a part of one party while giving half of their ticket to a different party. The same applies to states like New Hampshire, Ohio, and Iowa, although I haven't spent quite as much time in those places.
