You comment is very insightful!
I just saw this somewhere else which kind of goes into what you just said.
Even in a state that went for Barack Obama big time in 2008, Rick Perry is resonating with the voters there!
Barack Obama carried Wisconsin easily in the 2008 presidential election, but he is slightly behind Texas Governor Rick Perry and runs just ahead of two other top Republican hopefuls in Rasmussen Reports first Election 2012 look at the Badger State.
Perry earns 46% support from Likely Wisconsin Voters to Obamas 42% in a new statewide telephone survey. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and another six percent (6%) are undecided.

The only thing that this Wis. poll shows is that they have very good dope up there. There’s no other explanation. Perry isn’t even toast, he’s croutons.
