WISCONSIN 2012:  THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN.  WHAT DID THEY TELL US?

An historic recall election for governor.  Record campaign spending.  The first woman senator from Wisconsin.  A vice presidential candidate from Janesville.  The past year in Wisconsin politics has been nothing short of remarkable, with Democrats and Republicans winning key races.  From voter attitudes and media coverage to political advertising and campaign strategy, what did we learn in 2012?
