our rest is university of wisconsin madison lytic vassar -- political science professor larry burton. what is it about wisconsin that makes it a battleground state? and not just this cycle but at least since the year 2000 and maybe even before that. guest: i think that is what is stunning about wisconsin, it remains competitive even as the demographic in the state shifts. like many states, there is in flux and out flux, populations in different parts of the state but there is sort of a magical balance that, as democrats, they gain -- democrats makings in one place, republicans gain elsewhere and they seem to offset perfectly. an example in madison, there is a large democratic vote thing to growing, booming part of the state, delivering a lot of votes to democrats but seems to be offset almost perfectly by the rise of republican votes in rural parts of the state and greater success republicans have had in growing suburbs around milwaukee area did it is sort of a tit for tat over the last 20 years and kept both parties competitive statewide in the elections. host: where is the battlegro

why did madison and jefferson place the farewell address on the required curriculum of their new university, virginia? and this was even after the apparent split between washington as seemingly a federalist and the new democratic republican approach of the jefferson madison. we invoke the farewell address to this day because it's the high concerns a statement of many principles of american constitutionalism and politics and i would perhaps most especially of grand strategy and foreign policy, if it was not evident as the consensus view when released in 1796, there was still some disagreement. washington's foreign policy and strategy. the washington approach and the farewell address statement eventually were recognized as the high consensus view by the most discerning of american and statesmen and the history of its drafting. why this is so. washington fact had asked james madison to draft a farewell statement in 1792 because washington did not want to serve a second term as president. madison did drafted, but at the time, he and all the rest of washington's close advisers in and out of the
