Doyle drew on traditional base (AP)

MILWAUKEE -Ã? Gov. Jim Doyle held on to his traditional Democratic base in Tuesday’s election by appealing to women and the poor, while GOP challenger Mark Green drew strong support from religious voters and those who support the U.S. war in Iraq, according to an Associated Press exit poll.

….Jess Haines, 35, said he voted for Green because he blamed Doyle for tuition increases at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“Doyle put the screws to UW. And seeing as how I’m an alumni, I had to vote against him,” he said.
