4. There's another anti-idiot zone on the western edge of WI.

I live in Minneapolis but visit western WI regularly to sail on Lake Pepin. My observation for the last few years has been that the folks in the small towns along Hwy 35 hate Scott Walker with the fire of a thousand suns. I have seen very few pro-GOP lawn signs along that route, and the merchants in the shops in those towns (especially Stockholm) can really get to ranting about how awful Walker is. So there are a few blue enclaves even outside Madison/Milwaukee. I don't know what happened to WI otherwise, though. I have relatives in the Sturgeon Bay-Green Bay area who are devout right-wingers and they never used to be that way.
