Why are Wisconsin and Iowa so left?
Not speaking for Iowa, the peoples republic of Madison is very lefty and the state has been left leaning at the top for some time. We have the Dairy Queen, Herb Kohl, the nation's only homosexual Senator (undeclared, but still a homosexual), Russ Feingold, the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act and Jim Doyle, an extreme lefty governor. Parts of Wisconsin are tradtionally left....southwestern , Kenosha, Milwaukee and Madison. The Fox valley (Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh and parts of Fond du Lac and suburban Milwaukee are to the right, as well as many parts of the central state.
