In 2008, Matthew Brewer said he voted for hope, change and Barack Obama for president. But this fall, he said, even though he said he doesn't agree with every policy proposed by Mitt Romney, he'll be voting for the Republican for president. "I think he has the right skill set," Brewer said Thursday, as Romney's Wisconsin campaign rolled out what it called an advisory board of Wisconsin Democrats for Romney.

In 2008 0bama was a blank slate who these voters could write anything they wanted on. Now he is a known quantity.
Going to be interesting to see if they show up on election day for O. All the polling is assuming, like they did in 1980, that these Democrats are going to show up and vote Democrat in Nov.

A new Department of Revenue report released this week shows that the state collected $126.6 million more in general-purpose tax revenue during the 2011-12 fiscal year than was projected last May. The May number itself had reported a better revenue collection estimate than the one before it.
Because half of any budget surplus must be deposited in the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund, otherwise known as the Rainy Day Fund, that account could be in for a record haul as well, according to Department of Administration secretary Mike Huebsch, who cautioned that final expenditure numbers still have to be considered.
