Wisconsin Senate Race
Jeff Fitzgerald.
For all you undecideds, take a look at our Assembly Speaker. He stood firm with Gov Walker.
Granted, any of the four candidates will make a good Senator. And I will vote for whoever is running against Tammy; she's all for bigger government, higher taxes, and more govt regulations.
But choosing between the four on Tuesday? Tommy isn't as conservative as I'd like. Mark has pulled some shenanigans in recent elections, so that he's not my top choice. Hovde sounds good in many ways, but he's unproven; without a voting record (and being what I consider an out-of-stater) I have no way to know whether he's feeding me a line he thinks will gain my vote, or if he's genuine.
Jeff Fitzgerald has endured the nastiness thrown at him, and still has governed well. I encourage you to vote for him on Tuesday.

Romney-Ryan Rally
I haven't been in a traffic jam this bad in years. Even when on my rare forays into Chicagoland, I haven't seen this kind of traffic for a long long time. But people were polite and safe and (for the most part) patient drivers, so that helps.
There were, of course, protesters. I counted 23. I may have missed 1 or 2. I wondered how the network news would report the number of protesters.
Of all the folks who spoke (Congressmen, national leaders, state leaders, etc.), Scott Walker and Paul Ryan received the most enthusiastic reception. The crowd is reported to have been 8000 to 10,000+ (and since we needed tickets to enter, they actually have a count of attendees, and not just a guess).
