Democrats own this town. The Republicans run as Democrats pretty much. Which would explain Sheriff David Clark.

The only Republicans running for office are obscure fringe guys or Democrats who want to provide some sort of competition in the general election.

We need a HEAVY turnout in both Madison and Milwaukee to offset the rural, conservative areas of the rest of the state.

I think that there are several counties in NY that are more liberal. Sometimes Republicans only run on that ticket because the Democratic line is already taken.
In my town in Ulster County, after the Democratic caucus, the loser went to the Republicans, and asked to be their candidate.
We may have separate parties around here, but we are far more liberal than most any county in Georgia!

Where it's the complete opposite. Every damn race was Republican vs. "Write-In."

Amazing how we're so close geographically and yet it feels like we're worlds apart?
