Well we’ve had some fun in the discussion of this post as to that new campaign tool Facebook. Hang in there, because there’s bound to be a little something for everyone in this information.
First, Facebook is part of a group of Web tools called social networking. Along with Twitter it’s the latest greatest thing to [...]

Not that money has anything to do with politics.
Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett is touting a $1.5 million balance after raising $750,000 since his announcement.
Not that money has anything to do with politics.
(PS I hate the word “touting” or “touts” or any form. Lisa Sink ruined me. I can’t believe I just used it!)

I had lunch with a guy today who described himself as “devastated” the blog was shutting down. We gabbed for bit and came up with an idea.
What if I did weekly podcast instead? I could limit the topics to Wisconsin. After all, no other blogger manages the perspective I do. If I talked about campaign [...]

If you’ve ever been in the Milwaukee area, right along the border between Milwaukee and Greenfield, on 43rd and Howard, then your surely know of the purple house on that corner. You know, the one with the purple fence, purple car, purple siding, and shoes and flowers painted all over the house?
Wait a second, this [...]

Not all of you will remember Bob Collison; I supported him whole-heartedly for the 98th Assemby primary a few years ago. (Rich Zipperer was anointed there. The child has never made a living besides off the public dime, but he’s managed not to mess thing up too badly.) Anyway…

I’m sure you’ll [...]

Mr. Sensenbrenner goes to Copenhagen. I guess Republicans are going to have to do without me for a loooooong time. Why in the world would I want to support characters like this who continue to gadabout on the taxpayer’s funding? The U.N. knows well that any promises by the Obama administration aren’t going to make [...]

The e-mail came today. I’m already sketching out my weeks around a couple of expected graduations.
I’ve told you about The Clearing before. It’s silly to say a place changed my life, but it did. This is the first place I realized I wasn’t going to be the mommy forever. In the middle of my first [...]

I am so glad the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel caught this one:
Aprahamian, 49, the president and owner of MidAmerican and a partner in a political consulting firm, has a long history of political donations, most of them to Republicans, state and federal campaign records show.
He is a longtime supporter of Walker, including his most recent $1,000 [...]

You see, I firmly believe Wisconsin Republicans (of which, to be clear, I am not one right now) are going to land on their butts in November 2010 if they don’t take seriously the need to make straight a path. Hosting parties for the likes of Scott Newcomer doesn’t exactly say you’re looking for the [...]
