Remember also that Wisconsin just confirmed a REPUBLICAN governor with a larger margin than in his first election. They did this despite the national unions throwing everything they had at the fight.
I think the people of Wisconsin are sick and tired of being thrown under the bus by the democrats. By and large they are hardworking people who just want to be left alone. Every time they’ve supported a democrat they’ve seen their taxes go up, their benefits from government go down (Not just direct benefits but things like quality of services, school performance, roads etc) and welfare slackers get more and more of their money.
Wisconsin is returning to republicanism.
(Please note that I do not live there, but I was raised there and have family and friends there and visit a bit. On my last visit (Sept) I saw probably 15 Romney signs for every obama sign.)
