State Debate: Bruce Murphy tells of Trump's obsession with Wisconsin Florsheim shoes

This article provides a daily roundup of interesting editorials and blog posts from around Madison and Wisconsin. Urban Milwaukee's Bruce Murphy notes that Donald Trump has an obsession with Wisconsin-manufactured Florsheim shoes and has urged his cabinet and aides to wear them, but the Florsheim company is not returning the love. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's James Causey is upset that supporters of Chris Taylor for the Wisconsin Supreme Court are plastering neighborhoods with election signs in public medians, arguing this is not how she will earn his vote. Madison's right-wing blogger David Blaska strays from his usual bashing of liberals to insist that it's time for Madison to erect a statue of the late comedian Chris Farley, just as Milwaukee has its Fonz and Minneapolis has its Mary Tyler Moore. The right-wing Badger Institute's Mark Lisheron is concerned that polls are showing a majority of people are opposed to the proliferation of data centers, quoting the Port Washington mayor who was instrumental in promoting his city's massive data center project and complaining that emotions are driving the opposition.
