Wisconsin should be a nail-biter. It's going to be close. My city, which is usually 2-1 for Democrats, went only 64-33 for Burke.

That's, uh, about 2-1.

Joementum is right again.

Why is Obama the only Democrat who recognizes that running on economics towards the poor and middle class is a surefire win.
