The Myth of the 2006 Elections

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

House:

Kagen - *

Liberal.  Pro-choice to the point of birth, brags about how his father was an Anti-Vietnam activist.

Appleton is much more liberal than Green Bay, and definitely changed the balance of WI-08 when it was added to it in 2001.

Pro life until birth? What does that mean!!

D'oh!  Should be pro-choice.  I always get those two mixed up :-).

"Pro-choice... pro-life... I'm the one with the gun."

Appleton voted for Bush, Green Bay for Kerry.

Holy crap, you're right.  NE Wisconsin is a strange area, nearly impossible to understand even when you've lived there for nearly 20 years.  Green Bay is uber-conservative in that they hate anything different and new, and they hate intellect and ideas in general.  Yet they'll vote Democrat, which makes no sense to me.  Appleton is a much more reasonable place, more open and accepting, but more Republican.

Green Bay is a conservative Democrat city, and Appleton is a moderate Republican city.
