Agree fully with LHH of WI.

Wisconsin is full of warm hearted people who'd literally help a total stranger and then be embarrassed when a simple thank you is offered. They do kiss the lawn good bye in November, only to greet it in late April. I only lived in Milwaukee for 8 years, but will remember those days, and people always.

No more progressives to Wi. , Madison or wherever , we're trying to get rid of Russ Fiengold now .

Ms. Stiehm , I know it's not a state , try pushing Canada .

I hate to bust your bubble, Ms. Stiehm, but Madison is not Wisconsin. Those of us who make up this beautiful state have bundled up all of our native "fruits and nuts" and placed them in Madison. The real Wisconsin is centrist, sometimes swinging slightly left and other times slightly right. I have lived 59 of my 73 years in Wisconsin; I think I know it pretty well!
