Law of Averages as foreign policy.

http://lacrossetribune.com/articles/2008/1...news/00lead.txt Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, St. Senator Dan Kapanke (possibly the creepiest man in American Politics), and former perma-governor Tommy Thompson were the opening acts this morning. What does Tommy do next? He probably should have ran vs. Herb Kohl in 2006 rather than try for the GOP nomination last year. He might have been taken seriously had he not looked like a drunken goon at every television appearance of 2007. Long distance prediction: Dan Kapanke will challenge Ron Kind for the House seat in 2012. I really don't think that McCain is being sent out there with very good speeches in a state like Wisconsin. He, sometimes Palin, and a cadre of Wisconsin Republican Powerhouses spoke of the economy, in particular the state of the middle-class and the job market, for a matter of seconds. Hardly anything specific. While I don't consider the size of McCain's crowds to be any legitimate indication of his standing in the race, the screams of "Terrorist!" probably don't play too well in the rest of the country outside of that exhibition hall. He almost seems to realize he's doing the wrong thing up there. Yeah, he's old, but I think he'd be much more energetic and believable if he was giving a speech he actually gave a shit about. I'm interested to see what the McCain campaign will do if the current 10% lead in WI for Obama holds after this week's swing-through. Will he tour it again or will he do another Michigan and send the troops, led by Team Kapanke, off to North Carolina & Georgia.

Inside the crowd at a John McCain rally is a weird and frightening place to be. As expected, he chose not to provide a single actual example of any of his "plans."

I'm going to see a John McCain speech tomorrow morning.

Changing your mind on an issue isn't the same as completely changing your ideology.

Guess again?

Yeah, definitly 1799.

Today's big John McCain emailing discusses his new idea of bailouts for individual mortgage holders. How will Glen Beck, and thus Marvin, flip flop to approve of this major govt expansion?

Jim James of My Morning Jacket fell off a stage in Iowa last night and hurt himself.

I like to remind Christians about the color of Jesus' skin and the region of the world that he came from.

This might not be the best day for the Bill Ayers stuff.

CC/Gallardo/Bush/Parra/Suppan? I'd take it.

Tsurkan is the toughest (and stupidest) guy in boxing.

Having the research capacity of a lump of dogshit helps, too.

John McCain was hand-picked to take Barry Goldwater's Senate seat. That guy actually planned to blow up the whole world at one point. That's what I heard.

Bill Ayers will bomb the country into submitting to Obama's Great White Enslavement.

I'm not sure Bill Ayers ever blew anything up.

Rev Wright was on every news channel, practically 24/7, for an entire month. Bill Ayers has been discussed since the Dem primary season began. McCain actually does have a scandal in his past. The Liberal Media has chosen to completely ignore it.

I'd prefer CC if Milwaukee can only make one big re/signing.

They won one more than I was expecting. I'm happy.

High school cafeteria?

I'm not paying much attention at the moment but a 2005 vibe is starting to emanate from Green Bay.
