Oh man, you got me. My state school did get me into law school however, so I don't have any complaints. Also, if you're expecting to learn politics in a classroom, you're going to be pretty inept in the field (I suspect this may describe you).
Now, back to Wisconsin, first lets start with Russ. Americans for Dem. Action voted him a perfect 100 on liberalism. On a conservative ranking of 1-100, he recieved a 12. Lets not forget his pathetic attempt at censuring Bush.
Your other senator, Herb Kohl is also a Democrat (surprise!). No kidding, he also scored a 100 on the ADA's "how bleeding heart are you?" rating.
Governor Doyle, Also a dem...
I'll give it to you, you do have 4 Republican congressmen, but I don't think you're even close to being a conservative state. At times you could perhaps describe Wisconsin as moderate, but lets be honest, its solidly blue.
For those who don't believe me, have a stroll through campus in Madison, generally thought to be among the most liberal cities in the country, and home to one of the country's more liberal public U's.
