| Description | Wisconsin Democrats are heading south in search of redemption.
For nearly two years, the state's Republicans have had the national spotlight, sweeping the 2010 elections, keeping Gov. Scott Walker in office in the historic June recall election and taking over last week's Republican National Convention with a cast of Cheesehead politicos.
Now the state's Democrats are headed to Charlotte, N.C., for their own party's national convention in the hope of recapturing some of their 2008 electoral success and reminding viewers that Wisconsin has given the nation its share of liberal leaders, too.
Two big elections in Wisconsin could play an important national role this fall - President Barack Obama's re-election bid and a U.S. Senate election that could help decide party control of that powerful body.
U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Madison will try to play a role in both those contests with a prime-time speech Thursday on the same convention-closing evening and in the same stadium where Obama will speak. |
