On the plus side, Thompson kept at least a half an arm's length from the really odious wing of the state party, represented in all its ugliness by McBride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3561726959150987222.post-80830316853955929762007-08-13T14:29:00.000-05:002007-08-13T14:29:00.000-05:00Spot on.

And enough Iowans know enough Wisconsinites to have asked us how that W-2 has been doing.<BR/><BR/>She does not know Iowans. They do not take their guidance from the NYTimes. (Wisconsinites don't, either. Heck, they rarely take their guidance from media here!)<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Iowans. He stuck it to my Milwaukee, you stuck it to him for us. Now, if only it sticks this time, before he makes us have to explain again how he kept getting re-elected as our governor. (Well, on that one, our local media do get a lot of the blame -- but not reporting the news is not the same as editorialing on how to vote.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
