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.
