Here in WI we in Madison and also in Milwaukee came out big for Russ |
|
I'm proud that where I live (Madison) we went all out for Russ:
Feingold beat Ron Johnson in Dane County by a vote of 153,826 to 65,867 — 70 percent to 30 percent.
The senator won every single precinct in the city of Madison, and all but two of the county’s dozens of municipalities — the towns of Bristol and Dane — where he came within whiskers of winning.
And some of those Madison precincts delivered epic margins of victory for Feingold.
In Ward 34 (O’Keefe Middle School), Feingold beat Johnson by a 25-1 margin — 2,431 to 90. In the neighboring Ward 33 (Olbrich Botanical Gardens), it was almost 20-1. And across the isthmus, wards posted better than 10-1 margins for Feingold.
Traditionally Republican Maple Bluff gave Feingold an easy win, as did other Madison suburbs. Shorewood Hill backed the senator by a roughly 6-1 margin.
And so it went across Madison and Dane County.
and also in Milwaukee County: 208,001-129,063 for Russ
but the rest of the state over powered him.
