I guess its not surprising that the core counties in the Circle of Ignorance swung towards Walker.
could you draw this circle for me?
Its a DKE term meaning:
The disgustingly Republican suburbs of Milwaukee, namely Waukesha, Washington, and Ozaukee counties. They have our undying enmity for voting almost three-to-one against such Democrats as Sen. John Kerry (in 2004), Sen. Russ Feingold (in 2010), and JoAnne Kloppenburg (in 2011).
Try "crescent" next time. You know, like the "capitalist crescent." How about calling Dane and Milwaukee the "pockets of purloinment?" Two can play the name calling name you know.
Madison is known around the state as (20 to 80) square miles "surrounded by reality."
Governor Lee Sherman Dreyfus labeled Madison as "30 square miles surrounded by reality" but he was wrong. The incorporated areas of the city now total about 76 square miles.
People randomly change the number and interchange Madison with Dane county. It is a perfect description. I love Madison. The people there just don't live in reality.
The other possibility is that nowhere
except Madison lives in reality. A sort of Zhuangzi-type situation. One must admit that even if true that isn't exactly helpful practically speaking.
Vosem, the Lake Superior coast proper looks like it pretty clearly swung Democratic, unless we're counting it as part of a broader area that isn't as broad as 'northern Wisconsin'.
