National Journal Rankings: We're Now # 8

I'm only posting Teresa Halbach news on my blog while on my break until Monday, so this gets to go here.

According to the latest National Journal Rankings, we're now # 8. Last month, Wisconsin was # 9.

8. WISCONSIN (Doyle-D) Last Ranking: 9

Walker's withdrawal from the GOP primary was very bad news for Doyle. The GOP establishment is rallying around Green. He's from a swing part of the state, which can't be good for Doyle -- who did well in the Green Bay area.

You can take a look at the 2002 votes for Governor here (pages 934-963). Yes, Doyle did do well in the Green Bay area. He didn't win any counties, but he did well enough to swing the election in his favor. With Green now being from the candidate from the "swing area," that advantage is now gone.
