Wisconsin Senate race and the media

1. The media in Wisconsin is bland.
2. I am out of state these days, but I monitor the 4 Madison main websites daily ( not Fox 47).
3. The Senate race is crowded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_Senate_election_in_Wisconsin
4. Wisconsin is not known for celebrities.
5. i am convinced that celebrity activity such as the cast of The Princess Bride a year ago https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/princess-bride-cast-to-host-virtual-fundraiser-for-wisconsin-democrats/ar-BB18LgBB

were part of what Wisconsin needed.
6. To my knowledge, Wisconsin doesn’t have a big name organizer. We need more Stacy Abrams in the world. and we need star power .
7. Republicans are more loyal voters in Wisconsin. They get their vote out.
8. I suspect other swing states are in similar circumstances.

sorry, i meant to place in Wisconsin forum .

these are my conjectures. Discuss

He has done a phenomenal job in his brief time as State Chair of the party. Heads and shoulders above the previous two. With him, I feel the D's will have an upper hand on fundraising and strategy. Andrew Stitt just stepped down from his post of the other party.

The Wisconsin Dems need to focus more on outstate. Constant feedback is the party focuses too much on Milwaukee and Madison.

It is discouraging how the GQP is messing with redistricting in their efforts to drown out the majority voice.
