Apparently I am an Imposter Wisconsinite
I was recently informed (by multiple people, no less) that real Wisconsinites consider it sacrilege to put ketchup on bratwurst.
Is this true???
Madison
I’m reading Althouse right now and just feeling a huge wave of homesickness for Madison. I see the pictures of Bascom Hill and Abe Lincoln, those familiar paths that I trod almost daily through sun and snow and ice, and I wish I could be back there, 5-degree weather and all.
Although I’ve lived most of my life in the Milwaukee area, I spent eight years in Madison—three as a child and five as a college student. In my heart, Madison has always been my hometown.
Wisconsin Hands Obama a Landslide
Duh.
This is the first time I’ve really followed Wisconsin political coverage from non-Wisconsin sources and it’s become pretty apparent to me that national pundits really do not get Wisconsin. Or geography, for that matter, as Obama has won all the surrounding states in which he was on the ballot.
Wisconsin was demographically favorable to Clinton, they say. Ok, but Wisconsin is culturally extremely favorable to Obama. Culture trumps superficial demographic breakdowns.
