I'm a Poor, White Wisconsinite

I'd like to share with you, a little bit about me and my choice in this election.

For the first 13 years of my life, I was raised in Glenwood City, a small farming town here in Wisconsin.  Glenwood City's claim to fame is it's "57 Hills" and our school mascot was the aptly-named "Hilltopper"--whatever the heck one of those is.

On the edge of our town which boasts a population of approximately 1,100, stand two fiberglass Holstein cows.  In the spring, straw hats are placed on their heads by the local 4-H group.  These cows have the pleasure of being perched high above the St. Croix County Fairgrounds on Highway 128, where every July they have the opportunity to observe some of the finest our state has to offer in the way of crafts, garden grown vegetables, and meat and hobby animals.  The big shows, however, don't involve sheep and cattle.  Every year there is a rodeo, a tractor pull, and a demolition derby, all of which attract hundreds.

Obama Takes Wisconsin in Rout

Madison, Wisconsin - No votes have been counted in Wisconsin. But the race is over.

This was demonstrated most poignantly in Eau Claire, WI, where overflow audiences heard Obama address 1,000s Saturday, and where Hillary cancelled her appearance.
