Milwaukee and Madison, hello?

Where I used to live, Waukesha, used to be a Republican stronghold. But now I think it’s slipping, albiet weakly, to Democratic side. Waukesha sits next to Milwaukee, a major Democratic stronghold. Unfortunately, the area between Milwaukee and Chicago (Racine, Kenosha, etc.) is growing and leans toward Democratic.

On the western side of Wisconsin, cities are growing, and Democratic influence from Minnesota can be felt in these cities. In the middle of Wisconsin, where its capitol, Madison, resides, it’s largely a college town area, so no surprise there. It’s a city of Democrats.

In the northern area, that’s where you want to find Republicans. But they’re far apart and too few in numbers to overpower the big cities in southern Wisconsin. You can also find Republicans in southwestern parts of Wisconsin, but far apart and too few.

At least that’s the way I remembered when growing up in Wisconsin. I’m pretty sure the political picture over there changes a lot since I’ve moved to an even more liberal state — Maryland.
