Wisconsin really started changing just before the 2002 elections, parts of Wisconsin have always been very Conservative (my town hasn't voted Dem in over 100 years), but the Milwaukee area started really changing when there was a big scandal in the Dem run county board over a pension deal. Milwaukee county recalled some members, and voted in a Republican. About that time, the state really started getting sick and tired of the high taxes we pay (3rd in the nation at the time), and in 2002 voted in a Republican majority in both houses.

The only drawback we had was voting in a corrupt Dem governor, but that wasn't because people liked him, it was because we had a very weak Republican Governor, that took over when Tommy Thompson left. We also had Tommy's brother Ed run on the libertarian ticket, and he picked up over 10% of the vote.

I really feel that President Bush will take Wisconsin, and it won't be real close. We are a State of hunters, and outdoors men, and I don't know many people that actually like Kerry. I am only afraid that we will keep Feingold, people just kinda like him, he's a "maverick".
