About this Article

Wisconsin Republicans are hoping that a native son on the ticket in Tuesday's presidential election will be the answer to ending their 28-year losing streak, which dates back to when Ronald Reagan won re-election in a nationwide landslide. But even with U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Janesville as Mitt Romney's running mate, President Barack Obama isn't conceding Wisconsin or its 10 electoral votes. Obama won the state by 14 points in 2008, but polls show this year's race is close.
