No Runny Eggs

This will be updated later, so do check back.

I missed both John McCain and Barack Obama in Oshkosh; the lesson of the day is to not leave only 1:10 for a trip that takes 1:25 plus a refuelling stop.

I did, however, catch Judge Gableman. It was a small, but nice crowd for something literally put together the last minute by gopfolk. I mostly knew what Gableman was going to say; I’ve run into him several times over the last couple months. However, I will relate a quick tidbit that just might shock the liberals out there. One of the folks there (I forgot to take attendance) asked about a bill floating through Congress (and supported by Obama) that would mandate “equal pay for equal work”. Even though Gableman is unlikely to hear it as it would be a federal matter and he, he did offer a very brief comment on it. The judicial portion of that was that as long as it passed Constitutional muster, he would defer to the legislative branch. He did also go on to say that it is the voters’ job to keep a check on that legislative branch.

Well, I’m off to Serb Hall, the Milwaukee County Lincoln Day dinner, and John McCain. At least I shouldn’t be too late for the social portion of that; it starts at 6 (with the dinner starting at 7) and Serb Hall is about 15 minutes out.

Revisions/extensions (9:57 pm 2/15/2008) – I’ll have the full-out report up tomorrow (likely late), but I’m inching a bit closer toward rolling over come November. One thing I’ll let fly now; if McCain becomes President, expect Tommy Thompson back at HHS.

Of course, for every time I think that I might not write in two people in the general, there’s something like this (from AoS instead of Hot Air because this post doesn’t deserve the trackback) – McCain’s looking to the liberal RepubicRATs for VP choices.

Since I missed Mike Huckabee’s stop in Pewaukee Wednesday night, I decided to take a road trip to Madison to catch him (and Uncle Jimbo, and as it turns out, Christian Schneider). Because of various “technical” difficulties (mainly a major malfunction in the digital voice recorder when I accidentally hit “stop” about 5 minutes into Huckabee’s speech), I won’t have a write-up of that. Fortunately, Chris saved my sorry self, and put up a write-up that is better than anything you’ll read anyplace else (especially here with my name in the byline).

As it turns out, the first male First Lady wannabe was also in Madison yesterday, mainly because his wife realizes Wisconsin is lost except for the cash. Since I had a couple of races to watch, I don’t do B-teamers, and I would have been too tempted to go carve some ice out of Lake Mendota and attempt to present it to S(l)ick Willie, I left watching him to UJ and Chris. This time, it’s a double-header multimedia report, as Chris once again put finger to keyboard, and Uncle Jimbo put video to hard drive.

Today, I’ll probably miss Barack Obama in Milwaukee just over an hour from now as I have too much to catch up on, though I may well road-trip it to Oshkosh for his stop at noon. After that, and some time at the EAA, it’s back to the home county for John McCain and some fish at the Milwaukee County Lincoln Day dinner at Serb Hall. Hopefully, I won’t have things chunk up on me like they did yesterday; I doubt Chris or UJ will be bailing me out.

R&E part 2 (10:01 am 2/15/2008) – Scratch the Obama thing; McCain will be doing a town hall meeting at the EAA at 11:30.
