- Baldwin did much better then Obama up Nort (little bit of Wisconsin lingo, lol) and in the Minneapolis exurbs. Wondering if race had something to do this is difference or if it was more about their opinions on Obama's performance as President.
I think there was a stronger reaction to the labor union shenanigans at the start of Walker's term.
Since Walker is from Milwaukee, this area would not naturally identify with him. In much of this area, a teacher's salary is a pretty good salary, and because of the less dense population, teachers are more integrated in the local community. So there would be more of a shock when teachers skip class to go to Madison. And the occupation of the capital would be seen more as a trashing of the capital to someone who may have only been there once or twice, if at all.
Take a look at the Walker recall vote, vs his original election and it looks much the same as your map.
