Ever since David Prosser won the Supreme Court race at the height of the union thugs attack on Scott Walker, I sensed that the Badger state would turn red in 2012.

Then Scott Walker survived the recall election, winning even more votes in 2012 than he did in 2010.

Now that Romney has tapped Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, to be his running mate, Wisconsin is within reach of voting Republican for the first time in a presidential election since 1984.

Today, Rasmussen has a poll out of likely voters showing Romney/Ryan beating Obama, 48% to 47%.

Three weeks ago, Obama had the advantage over Romney with a three percent lead.

Additionally, CNN has moved Wisconsin from ‘lean Obama’ to ‘tossup,’ on their electoral map.

No one can dispute that Wisconsin is in play for the Republicans.
