1. I'm in Dave's district
I went to his local briefing on Monday and when asked who he supported he said "Edwards"...

He knew he would have to alter his decision eventually and I just got the email from his an hour ago about his support for Obama.

Dave is very practical....

2. I predict he'll do well here in WI.
He's got lots of endorsements from members of the state legislature, and the local union of the American Federation of Teachers has broken with the national union to endorse him by a vote of 2-to-1.

3. Didn't Doyle endorse him too?
And Feingold seems sympathetic.

4. Oh yes! I'd forgotten!
Yes our Dem Gov. Doyle has come out for Obama. That will also help. :)
