...” populist rhetoric has large appeal among Democrats, where 70% of their primary voters oppose globalization...”

The pollster (or the uninformed voters) does not appreciate that Wisconsin has a positive trade balance with the WORLD, so we create jobs in Wisconsin for the exports we create in manufacturing and agriculture.

Export sales by Wisconsin firms for all commodities grew by 15% over the previous year, totaling $17 billion in 2006.
Wisconsin ranked 19th among all the states for value of exports in 2006.

I am a strict-constructionist. I believe that any deviation from that philosophy will doom the country.

We have been deviating to different degrees since John Adams and the "Alien" and "Sedition" acts. Deviations have increased in number and severity ever since, the last 50 years has produced a once great country that will be broke in a decade, both morally and fiscally.

I think it's cute that you still think we can rescue this nation through the ballot box, I obviously don't believe that, but once again, there aren't enough people that "think like me" to affect this election...especially here in Wisconsin.
