Tomorrow is the Wisconsin Presidential and non-partisan spring election primary. As there are no non-partisan primaries in Oak Creek, I have but two recommendations, one of which I can’t vote in but for which I am recommending a friend:
Presidential Primary
Yes, Hell has frozen over and is in the process of being crushed by glaciers. We have nothing left but ‘Rats and those that, but for an issue or two, would be happier as ‘Rats. On the RepubicRAT side, we have the second coming of Jimmy Carter in Mike Huckabee (who, but for God and guns, would fit right in with the ‘Rats), John McCain (who twice in the last 7 years attempted to join the ‘Rats) and Ron Paul (who, but for the size of government, would fit right in with the ‘Rats). On the DhimmiRAT side, we have a pair of unreconstructed lieberals in Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. So, what’s a charter member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to do?
Easy; do to the ‘Rats what they did to the Pubbies and put forth the weaker candidate in the opposition party. In my humble opinion, that weaker candidate is Hillary Clinton. She has less charisma than Obama and should have the effect of rallying conservatives against her. Moreover, if she does win in November, she should have shorter coattails than Obama, and, depending on the “time of the month”, might be marginally better than Obama (after all, it was Obama and not Clinton that was 2007’s most lieberal Senator). Of course, the majority of the time, the two are indistingishable from Fidel Castro, Iosef Stalin and Karl Marx, but would you rather have 99% of Marx or 100% of him?
Kenosha’s 5th Aldermanic District
I wholeheartedly recommend Kathy Carpenter in Kenosha’s 5th Aldermanic District. I’ll let her make the case:
As far as my reasons for entering the race for alderman, there were several. First, I love Kenosha. I started my life off traveling a lot. My father was in the Navy.
I spent a lifetime looking for a home, a place to settle, a place to lay down roots. I found it in Kenosha. Kenosha is home.
I believe in Kenosha and her people so much, that I want to be part of her future because Kenosha is part of my future. Does that make sense?
Also, the tax issue is huge in Kenosha. I have talked to liberals, conservatives and independents and they all say the same thing- Kenosha’s taxes are too high. We do not get enough bang for our buck. Citizens are frustrated with the way our government has been spending.
Huckabeee is VERY well like down here in the buckle of the Bible belt, but not because of any particular policy, but because….well, he’s a Southern Baptist, and that’s all they needed to know. I did my darnedest to enlighten a few folks, but….in case ya didn’t notice…he took TN. :/

My vote would go to Huckabee, but there isn’t a great choice among them.
And on the Democratic side, I’d go with Hillary as well, for much the same reason as you.
I looked at a couple of recent Pres polls last night. McCain mashes Hillary even in states like CA. I agree she would be the one to run if our goal is to keep the Rats from the Whitehouse. The downside of Hill is that McCain probably wouldn’t need the conservatives to win.
[…] Partly because of #1, many Republicans crossed over to vote in the Democratic primary. I almost did. You can certainly infer that steveegg did. […]
