Wisconsin isn't that liberal.
It was pretty much spot on national average 1992-2004. It was way to the left in the 80s, but that has its explanations, such as the Dukakis generally good result in the midwest. It was once again on national average in 1976, somewhat to the left in 1972. Nixon however did very well there, winning it by a clear margin in 1968 and also winning it in 1960.
Eisenhower got over 60% there.
To sum up, if you except 1988 there is really no history of Wisconsin being very liberal. Very different from Minnesota, the only never to for Reagan and a state that has only been once by a republican since 1960.
