Making Wisconsin Progressive Again
Wisconsin Political Data and Analyses Lead Country

via mal contends - Wisconsin is ground zero, along with some seven other states, in the 2008 presidential election.
Small-time (by marketing standards) Milwaukee and Green Bay are two of nation's top four markets for presidential ads, and the state ranks sixth among the key battlegrounds in TV spending (Gilbert, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).
How do we know that? We know through the work of the Wisconsin Advertising Project, which compiles statistical data on political spending in broadcast media around the country, including this latest report (for which I cannot find a link): Nearly 100 percent of the McCain campaign's recent advertisements are negative.
And the Wisconsin Advertising Project is not alone in its contributions to political knowledge.

Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
~Edmund Burke
The race for Milwaukee City Attorney is off and running.
Longtime City Attorney Grant Langley versus State Representative Pedro Colón (D-Milwaukee) in what promises to be a spirited race for a heretofore obscure office.
Colón is out to change the position, with an activist’s approach.
Colón has made some enemies and stepped on some toes as an activist attorney and state representative, but he brings a broad coalition in his campaign for the April 1 election.
As has been widely noted, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, District Attorney John Chisholm, the incoming president of the Milwaukee Bar Association and the Wisconsin Trial Lawyers Association and almost all of Milwaukee’s legislative delegation have endorsed Colón’s hard-line approach to flushing out destructive policy, and becoming part of the solution in addressing city-wide problems.
As Greg J. Borowski of the Journal Sentinel wrote in a column from December.
