Why so close?

Republican Scott Walker’s last two races for governor were competitive and hard fought but not really all that suspenseful, ending in a 6-point victory in 2010 and a 7-point victory in 2012.

This one is shaping up differently, polls suggest.

Gov. Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke are effectively tied, according to the last two statewide surveys by Marquette Law School.

The extreme tightness of the race has defied early predictions and surprised political observers nationally.
