THANK YOU, WISCONSIN! You have my respect
that you listened to the MESSAGES and the BELIEFS and not the tired old games of politics that say "he who slimes the most will win the most".

I'm really looking forward to tonight's momentum causing a tidal wave of support in Texas and Ohio.

I am finally starting to fully BELIEVE Obama can do it and sweep Hillary to the place she belongs--in the senate helping him pass a terrific health care agenda.

YAY OBAMA!!!!

17. You're welcome. It was kind of fun, here, even with the cold weather.
I was at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, Monday. Michelle Obama hit each and every note on the mark. It was like a gift to the audience. She gave it up, and everybody in the place was feelin' her. Afterwards, two guys from a Japanese TV network stuck a microphone in my face, and it was clear to me, they had been won over, as well. It was a really, really good speech.

So, what's the media focus? Some Gray Ops sound editor manufactures a single lie (blipping one word from the audio, "really," she was r e a l l y proud of America, but the modifier got lost), and *that's* the whole story -- the distortion.

I finally got home tonight, and Tweety and KO were talking to some empty suit from Texas. Tweety asked the guy to "name one accomplishment of Barack Obama in the Senate." The guy fluffed it, couldn't come up with a precisely phrased, 8 second summary of bullet points, and Tweety chewed his leg off. "That's a problem," he kept repeating. "What are his accomplishments, even his supporter can't name a single one." He was like a terrier gnawing at a turkey drumstick.

MSNBC is only reporting the relative percentages in each race. Overlooking the fact that, with 85% of the vote in, CNN's showing 528, 654 Wisconsin voters for Obama. McCain has 187,755.

But the landslide numbers don't "count." (Ratio of 2.8 to 1.)

The numbers aren't lying. There are a lot of live, actual voters out there, telling the Republicans to go stuff themselves.

Just got to keep going, one primary day at a time, all the way through November, whatever the October Surprise turns out to be.

11. You are welcome!
Come visit. We're very down to earth and real here! It's a great place to live. I've lived all over the country and Wisconsin is by far my favorite place! (Summers are probably better than winters for a visit, though!)

14. Thank you! I truly mean it
I think the regular folks of Wisconsin made a statement about the 2 types of politics we're seeing today. And which they prefer.
