APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) A pro President Obama super PAC is pulling millions of dollars out of Wisconsin.  The New York Times reports Priorities USA Action is taking $4.5 million from our state and Florida for political ads.  They'll focus on other swing states instead, but they'll continue to fund ads in the Green Bay market.

We asked Lawrence University Political Science Professor Arnold Shober if this is a sign democrats are growing confident in their widening margin in the dairy state.  "Their official explanation is Wisconsin is less competitive than it once was.  But you can't use that excuse with Florida - extremely competitive even now," he says.

We reached out to Priorities USA for comment.  They didn't respond to our messages.
