Day 49: Wisconsin

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.

Are Germans especially Republican? We don't have any where I live, so I don't know. Is this why Milwaukee's suburbs are so much more Republican than those of neighboring cities such as Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit.

At least in PA, Germans are ultra-Republican. Look at Central Pennsylvania for an example of that.
