Nice source. Would you read an article about Obama from Fox News or The Washington Times? When I first opened the article I looked at the source & immediately closed it. Not worth my time to read some biased garbage, especially when they're unable to get their point across in less than 8 paragraphs. Then I thought ohh why not. It's another way I can procrastinate for studying for my midterm, & I decided to read it.

Lots & lots of type & it didn't say much to me or help me decide (as a moderate who is undecided) who to vote for next Nov for governor. Some of the info about his background when he was young was interesting.

Most of the article talks about how there's a divide with Milwaukee county being poor & blue & the WOW counties being rich & red. We all know that already. Somehow this relates to Scott Walker being a white republican. Oh, and Gwen Moore (& Willie Wade) are black democrats. That's the article.

[Milwaukee City]

It's a hit piece not worth the time. The Author has the article written even before he landed in Milwaukee.

[Merkin]

Any article that combines Walker, talk show hosts, and white flight is irrelevant. They're mutually exclusive issues.

I will be extremely happy when Walker & this junk state government is gone. Can't come soon enough for me.

The only reason milwaukee is nearly like detroit, is because it voted mostly democrat, the voters have no one but themselves to blame, but they try to blame their problems with someone that has an ( R ) after their name, pretty much the democrat way, it is always someone else's fault.

Oh wow, aside from all the harping that Republicans give about Obama no matter what decision he does, yeah I guess your right.

Try leaving your political biases at the door when trying to make educated opinions.

Yah I don't know what that's about. I read the article and thought the early parts about walker when he went to Marquette and the lunatic talk radio show in Milwaukee were quite interesting.

I already was quite aware of the disaster partisanship in the metro area so that part was nothing new.
