To get Dayton instead of Emmer for governor. Otherwise we would be in WI's boat. Our states are so similar overall, I have a hard time believing the WI Republicans can hold on forever, though they have put up every roadblock to keep it away, from gerrymandering to 2022, to all the voter restrictions, they are fixing the stage for Rove's "permanent majority". The blowback will happen and it will be hard on the WI Republicans when the Wakausha style Republicans loose control eventually.
