This could be an unusual election for Wisconsin. We have a bit of a maverick political spirit in this state that goes back to Robert M. Lafollete and beyond, but for whatever reason, the state reliably votes Democrat in Presidential elections. Right now, polls indicate that Bush may have a solid lead. If he can hold it, he'll be the first Republican Presidential candidate to take Wisconsin since Reagan in 1984.
Wisconsin has also been pretty Democratic in Senate races in recent years. This year, Russ Feingold could actually end up with a fight on his hands. Tim Michels came from behind to win the Republican primary in Wisconsin, and if Bush continues strong in the state, he stands a decent chance of ousting Feingold. I'd go into further detail, but Jeff Wagner does a great job covering Feingold v. Michels.
And for those of you who have followed this blog through out the summer, I fully support Tim Michels.
