I'm still in awe of her defeat of Tommy Thompson that year. Yes, it was a different time (although still pretty damn polarized), but even I didn't think she'd be able to pull it off against the sTaTe iNsTiTuTiOn Thompson.

I’ve been following politics with the Davids for a long time and that is probably the most confusing race I’ve ever seen. Thompson ran for POTUS and then turned around and got his ass kicked by an uber liberal lesbian from Madison. I really don’t get how that race got away him from so fast.

Obama also kicked some ass in WI that year but ticket splitting was still a thing back then.

Dems routed in Wisconsin that year, which made 2016 all the more confusing and painful.
