Mitch Black is young, handsome and rich. He became a millionaire before the age of thirty by playing the stock market and opening up a nightclub with his cousin, Wesley Hunter. Mitch is also married, but he still enjoys playing the field. However, Mitch's life changes forever when he crosses paths with the beautiful Brea Jones. He falls head over heels in love with her, and his life soon goes on a downward spiral that doesn't stop until he hits rock bottom. He also experiences betrayal, personal loss, and tragedy. Will Mitch pick up the pieces of his broken life and turn things around, or will he get caught up in his quest for vengeance?

This is the first full history of voting in Wisconsin from statehood in 1848 to the present. Fowler both tells the story of voting in key elections across the years and investigates electoral trends and patterns over the course of Wisconsin's history. He explores the ways that ethnic and religious groups in the state have voted historically and how they vote today, and he looks at the successes and failures of the two major parties over the years. Highlighting important historical movements, Fowler discusses the great struggle for women's suffrage and the rich tales of many Wisconsin third parties--the Socialists, Progressives, the Prohibition Party, and others. Here, too, are the famous politicians in Wisconsin history, such as the La Follettes, William Proxmire, and Tommy Thompson.
