Publisher of Free Textbooks Says It Will Now Charge For Them, Instead
An anonymous reader writes "In a surprising blow to the movement to create free textbooks online, an upstart company called Flat World Knowledge is dumping its freemium model. The upstart publisher had made its textbooks free online and charged for print versions or related study guides, but company officials now say that isn't bringing in enough money to work long-term."

Wisconsin, traditionally a blue state, is in danger of turning red. Under Republican governeror Scott Walker and with the VP candidate being from Janesville, this state could tumble into the Romney column.
If by "red" you mean "not voting for a candidate that is unappealing outside a small area of Dane county" then sure. Tammy Baldwin doesn't have a chance. She only thinks she does because she has not spent any time outside Madison in the last 30 years and doesn't have a clue what the rest of the state wants. Nobody likes her except the dumb hippies in Madison.
Obama fucked himself out of Wisconsin when he talked about guns. Wisconsin likes guns.And as some of the referendums from a couple years ago show, is quite bigoted and racist with a strong "tv evangalist" christian bent.
Traditional liberalism or conservatism would work in Wisconsin, new age liberalism will not. Wisconsin isn't that type of state. It's already red.
