A Quick Look at Some Wisconsin and Maryland Returns
by Tom Bozzo
This leads me to conclude that rallying the southern Wisconsin base last Thursday was a useful tactic for the Kerry campaign.
Meanwhile, Max Sawicky gave me a good chuckle:
Kerry's Dane County win was stronger to the tune of 0.5 percentage points than Montgomery, though neither was in the ballpark of my old stomping grounds in Prince George's, where Kerry won 4.7-to-1.
The only problem is that modern Republicans are all for federalism except when they're against it.
John F. Kerry beat George W. Bush by more than 90,000 votes in Dane County, and by approximately 120,000 votes in Milwaukee County, according to unofficial returns. These margins are up about 13,000 and 30,000 votes, respectively, over Al Gore's 2000 performance. The increased Dane and Milwaukee County margins are approximately 340% of Kerry's statewide lead.

7. The Peoples Republic of Montgomery County [Maryland -- MU ed.]. We stomped the Right, on every ballot decision. We practice voodoo and trade our children for whiskey. Federalism! Bwa-ha-ha-ha ha!
