It seems Evers is holding true and focusing his campaign outside of the big cities. Not one Evers lawn sign in either Madison or MKE where I've passed through. I've seen a lot of Roys and Vinehout signs in the cities however.
Evers is largely running a public meeting/ad style campaign in the big areas. Is his precense more pronounced elsewhere in the state? I imagine he's big in Western and Northern WI.
Seems to make sense to me, at least anecdotally. I drive through the Madison metro area often, and I haven't seen a single Evers sign. The most common from my experience are Vinehout and McCabe, along with some for Mitchell, and I've only seen 1 for Roys. Haven't seen any signs for anyone else.
Evers also just generally seems like a better fit for rural communities. He's performed well in them in past elections and he can connect well with places that have struggled with education(funding and etc).
Not an expert on the states politics by any means, but that would seem to be a prime geographical basis to beat Walker. Running strong in rural counties that went for Obama, plus relying on just natural disgust for Walker to turn out the vote in Dane and Milwaukee, seems like a reasonable Prospect.
Reading that Milwaukee has poor turnout problems, I'm interested to know whether that's something that requires a good candidate the top of the ticket or if it's more of a structural problem that a good gotv investment could counter?
