knittnmom ,
THree times I’ve been to Madison Wis., lovely place as is nearly all of Wisconsin.
Couple things I fail to understand,
Why so lib in Milwaukee and Madison?
Why is Walker even in his re-election bid when his policies obviously have been great for the people there?
One more thing, why pubs on two or three corners at many intersections? They seem to be everywhere there like gas stations in L.A. of Banks in Miami.

Part of the answer to your question lies in the fact that Chicago is so close and in fact, one can take a train from Chicago to Madison...

The ferals that inhabit Chicago have counterparts and families in Madison....many of them anyway. Same mindset and “gimme”/I’m entitled/victim culture.

Yes, it's a beautiful state. As for your other questions, here's my perception:

Couple things I fail to understand, Why so lib in Milwaukee and Madison?

Not sure, but it probably has to do with both being major university hubs. Madison has the UW-Madison, Madison Area Technical College, several private and/or on-line colleges, and Edgewood College (Catholic).

Why is Walker even in his re-election bid when his policies obviously have been great for the people there?

See above, why let facts get in the way of feelings? One more thing, why pubs on two or three corners at many intersections? They seem to be everywhere there like gas stations in L.A. of Banks in Miami.

How else would we wash down all that cheese? :-) But seriously, early on, Wisconsin was a magnet for German immigrants. They brought their beer recipes along. The German heritage, as well as Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and Norwegian, are still very much in evidence. In addition to a couple of national breweries, we have several micro-breweries.

the university systems in this country are as bloated and over paid and over benefitted similar to the DC area....

if you're on the gravy train, you fight tooth and nail to keep the goods rolling.....

its about money, pensions, and that nose up in the air superiority feeling...
