69. Winning Wisconsin by 11,000 votes...
is over twice the votes that Gore beat Bush by in Wisconsin in 2000. I do agree that we may lose Wisconsin in the future, along with Baldwin and Feingold, on account of the state's approved a $13 million contract with Accenture to create a voter registration system for Wisconsin. Accenture's system would also be responsible for making the final tabulation of votes on election day. Sound familiar. Unfortunately, it has been practically impossible to get any worked up about this. When our much loved congresswoman gets beat in her next attempt to be re-elected by some nut bag radio station owner...I don't want to hear any whining.

As it is I hear much indifference from friends. I have tried to convince them that all of their...we will just have to be better organized next time...we will have to re-focus our message next time...we will have to donate more money next time...won't mean a thing. It doesn't matter how much one organizes or how much money one spends when all ones efforts and hard work can be neutralized out of sight of the voting public at the last minute. I don't know why, or how, this is so hard for people to comprehend.
