On Wisconsin
Since 2000, whenever I hear ''University of Wisconsin,'' I think of students publicly bragging about how many times they were able to vote for Al Gore, using fake ID. Gov. Jim Doyle (Democrat, of course)  has repeatedly vetoed attempts to institute a voter-ID requirement in the state, using the Donk argument that it would somehow disfranchise minorities and the poor.  Here's a snip from Mark Michaelsen's look at the school [What's the Idea?]., and the state of the State.
''Three UW professors were convicted of lurid sex felonies in 2005. One used administrative leave to draw pay while in prison, convicted for a term of eight to ten years on three counts of sexual assault. It took UW nearly a year to fire the three. Another administrator was charged with sexual harassment. Almost crowded off the front page by crime stories, the UW Regents raised the minimum pay for chancellor at UW to $307,000; current UW chancellor John Wiley makes more because he has been chancellor since 2001. With the raise, he makes about the average salary for university presidents at major public schools. That is in addition to the several hundred dollars Wiley gets monthly for a car allowance. The timing and symbolism were terrible.''

A little off track but, Fat Eddie Rendell, another Democratic governor, just vetoed a similar bill in PA.
