Wisconsin
Should we be concerned about Wisconsin? I know it is a solid blue state but the polls seem close enough for the repubs to take (steal) it.

2. bush led in almost all the close to election day wisconsin polls in 2004.
yet kerry won the state.

the state is very friendly GOP polling state, but it tends to go democratic when all the voters are counted.

gallup had bush +8 in wisconsin in their last poll before the election.

4. We always poll close. Also, I'm insulted by the insinuation we have crooked elections.
Find me any evidence.

13. It's never happened.
There is consequently no evidence that it has ever happened or even that it could happen here. For one thing, our elections board is run by a Democrat. We have mostly optical scan balloting so if we have a problem we can still look at the actual ballots.

6. We arent exactly a solid blue state.
Its always very close here. It was 5,000 votes in 2000 and 11,000 in 2004. He's up 3 points in the CNN poll and 2 in the latest Rasmussen poll. Another WI poll comes out tomorrow in the Big Ten Battleground Poll

10. Wisconsin is always close, it was in 2000 and 2004. But Obama will win
Obama will do well among the counties bordering the Illinois border, Milwaukee and in Madison/Dane County.
