Wisconsin has some very Liberal areas, especially around Madison and in the Northwestern corner. It's also got some solidly Dem small town areas, similar to eastern Iowa, in the Southwest of the State. The Milwaukee burbs (the Census Bureau considers the Milwaukee MetroArea the most residentially segregated MetroArea in the nation), on the other hand, are ultra-Republican, and the Northeastern part of the state (Green Bay, Oshkosh etc), quite densely populated, also leans Rep, although I'm not sure why. All in all, it's basically a swing state with a slight Dem lean and a freak result in 1988 related to the farm crisis.
