I think you might have bought into the WMC coolaid. WI actually fares pretty well relative to other states on many factors associated with the business climate - see Forward WI http://www.forwardwi.com/category37/Business-Climate In terms of quality of life, factors which greatly contribute to the business climate in terms of where people want to work and liver, we are doing pretty well in relation to other states on various factors including: Health care - http://www.statehealthfacts.org/profileind.jsp?ind=125&cat=3&rgn=51 (9% uninsured vs. a national average of 15.45. Some states like Texas have 25.2% uninsured) You tell me where you'd rather be. Crime - Milwaukee http://bloggingblue.com/2009/10/29/forbes-milwaukee-metro-area-second-safest-large-metro/ The Governor has bent over backwards on various pro-business initiatives including trying to keep GM in Janesville, successfully keeping Mercury Marine in Fond du Lac. WI continues to make great strides in the biotech industry with new companies and products forming around this cluster in the Madison and Milwaukee areas. All of these would argue against your comment. Hi Fred,

Harley is on record as to why they will not bring jobs into Wisconsin, the business climate created in Jim Doyle's Madison. Under Democrat leadership this state is bec0oming one of the least business friendly climates in the country. And you try and blame Ryan? Denial anyone? Unreal, did you ever consider the effect of State business taxes that Ryan has zero control over?

I couldn't agree with you more. I'd especially encourage this race if Barret decides to run for Governor. Paul Hi Jill,
Thanks for your comment. I couldn’t agree with you more. I’d especially encourage this race if Barret decides to run for Governor.

A water-carrier for the national tea party movement was beaten in a deep red district by a Democrat who actually knew somethings about local "parochial" issues. Forget the governor's race; Mike Sheridan should consider running for Congress. I think Ryan may be vulnerable if he keeps carrying water for the insurance industry while more of his constituents lose their employer-sponsored health insurance.
