People do not want to see Wisconsin "become another Milwaukee," Walker said.Bradford Beach and the north end of the Lakefront was mobbed by people of all races and ages, while PrideFest kicked off the Festival season at the south end.

The city has a lot to offer. People who live here get the most out of Milwaukee, like to show it off and welcome the visitors - - as do the businesses and their workers who cater to them in the state's commercial and financial center.

Walker and his people can say that you do what you have to do to win an election, but using Willie Horton-style TV ads and speaking stereotypically about the biggest city in the state to appeal to voters elsewhere isn't going to be forgotten soon.
And will take more than an offering of a beer and a brat at a picnic of elected officials at the Governor's Mansion to be forgiven.
