"OPINION: Can he derail the train?" (linked above):
Comment in response:NEWS BLOG (WSAU) There have been new developments regarding the somewhat-high-speed train proposal between Milwaukee and Madison. As a rail-fan, many people have asked me what I think will happen.
I’d blogged earlier that the state had made some good decisions about the high speed train. The state was right to pick a downtown Madison location for its train station instead of a more-remote airport location. They were right to negotiate with Talgo to build the trains here. And, no, I don't think Talgo will leave if Wisconsin's project is cancelled.
Since then, the state has made a bad decision. (This is separate from whether the train project will be cancelled or not. More on that in a moment.)
...
That brings us to the question of whether Scott Walker will be successful at blocking the entire project. My best guess: yes and no.
I think you are wrong. Hardly anyone except those who have a vested interest support the train in Madison. Even liberal Democrats. Every municipality in Dane Co. except one that had a vote voted against the train. This in county that voted 69% for Feingold.
