The top democrats are desperately hoping to win all three of the so-called ‘blue wall’ states, of course, and as the polls have tightened to the point that Donald Trump leads by two points nationally and seems to lead in these upper midwestern swing states by about the same margin...
These increasingly desperate democrats are looking for signs that the polls are wrong- or that there is any new, hopeful nugget, that will make them feel better.
Well, in Wisconsin, it’s a new poll that shows Donald Trump now leading in Wisconsin by one...but oop...oop.... Kamala Harris leading in Door County by three points.
Why is that a big deal?
Some of you may already know because Door County is a so-called ‘bell weather’ county. The voters of door county have nailed the last seven presidential election cycles properly.
Whoever won door county- dating back to at least Bill Clinton’s first win- also won the overall race.
And so- the DC and WI democrats are starting to get deeply invested in this notion that- ‘all we need to do is watch door county and if Kamala’s still up by three...we’re good’.
Okay. Whatever allows Ben Wickler and Maggie Gau to sleep at night.
Meanwhile-an MSN story on Wisconsin focuses on how desperately Kamala and her team need to boost voter turnout in Madison and in Dane county-even higher- than they did in 2020- when Biden eeked out a win in Wisconsin.
STORY HERE > ‘A Lot of People Live Here, and Everybody Votes’
Well-
Folks- 9 in 10 Dane county voters got out to vote in 2020- which is an insane level of participation- and Joe Biden still only won the state by about 23-thousand votes.
How much higher can they boost Madison and Dane county turnout?
Is this going to start to look like the city of Philly in the Obama years? Oooo! 115 percent of the vote turned out.
What?
Yeah- 115 percent of the vote-went to Obama. They never did have to explain that.
Is that what Madison’s wards are going to look like this year?
Oh, my word-110 percent of Madisonian voted...and nearly all of them voted for kamala.
A) How much more do they think they can boost turnout in Dane County?
B) We now know why the Harris campaign keeps having her and her surrogates stop in Madison. Madison. Then a stop in Madison. And why not send barrack to Madison?
Why not have a vote-drive concert-in Madison?
We understand what’s going on now.
It becomes clear that the Harris campaign are putting all their ‘Wisconsin cards’ on Dane county this year.
The story goes on to talk to Milwaukee democrat activists who say- its’ great to see so much attention on Wisconsin-but we really need Barrack and Harris-to stop here. In Milwaukee. This is where the democrat votes, and democrat enthusiasm appear to be sagging.
And they are correct.
Then this reporter goes to UW Madison to speak to students...and yes...most of them are voting for Kamala...but.... every liberal student in line seemed to agree that Trump has a larger hold over their classmates than they would have expected. Especially with the young men.
And so-this is what’s going on late- behind the scenes-here in Wisconsin: Ben Wickler and the Harris campaign are trying to coordinate massive voter turnout drives in Madison and thru-out Dane county- and are even more focused on it than getting out the vote in Milwaukee or Milwaukee County this year.
And by the way-they know that it’s going to take more than one stop from ‘Barrack’ to sway Milwaukee voters...and so...I wouldn’t expect that last minute scheduling change to pan out.
On Friday-the Harris campaign announced that Kamala was coming back to Wisconsin. Yet again. To do an event in: Dane county.
