I want to thank those that came out Tuesday night to make phone calls at the GOP Headquarters in West Allis. Jason and I were unsure how many people would show up. While we would have obviously loved even more help, those that took the time to help were enthusiastic about the task. I don’t ...
This Tuesday the CYP’s of Milwaukee will be hosting a phone bank at the Milwaukee County GOP headquarters. The office is located southeast of 84th and Greenfield in West Allis. If you have always wanted to volunteer but have hesitated because you were unsure about the process or didn’t want to show up alone, now ...
I know we normally feature serious posts regarding political updates and policy discussions, but today is a special day here in Milwaukee. I was roughly three months old the last time the Milwaukee Brewers participated in a playoff game. Unfortunately, my baseball memories include a lot of average baseball, including the awful 2002 season in ...
Thanks to everyone who joined us at County Claire this evening. Once again, it was exciting to see some new faces. Several people mentioned that they found out about the event via the McCain website. It is great to hear that word is spreading through different channels. State Rep. Leah Vukmir, McCain Field Staffer Josh ...
As a follow-up to my earlier post regarding the “Big Ten” poll, there was some interesting news in the JS All-Politics Blog (note, while the JS is most definitely not conservative or even “balanced,” it is a great source for breaking political news).

AG Van Hollen last week filed a lawsuit against the state Government Accountability Board. The suit attempts to force the Board to compare voter registration data to Department of Transportation licence records for at least 241,000 voters.

I found some additional background information which puts the AG Van Hollen situation in context. If anything, it leads one to wonder why this situation wasn’t addressed sooner by the Government Accountability Board. From the Journal Sentinel: “The federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 required states to create voter databases that could ensure voter ...
A “Big Ten” polled released Thursday shows exactly where this election is going to be won and lost. Recent polling seems to indicate that many states that Obama and McCain thought they could make inroads into simply is not happening. Florida and Virginia, while still up in the air, seem to be tilting toward McCain. ...
I’m not sure how many of you have been following the coverage regarding Sen. Obama’s record as an Illinois State Senator, but one vote for me stands out among all the rest. In 2001, the Illinois State Senate was considering legislation which would have provided protection for babies which survived abortion attempts. The Born Alive ...
This Saturday there will be a door-to-door “knock and drop” taking place on the north-side. The Sen. McCain campaign, along with local candidates Sen. Darling and Rep. Ott, will be knocking on doors in the Northshore area and Washington County. There will be two shifts, one beginning at 9:00 am and the other at 12:00 ...
