1. Has Wisconsin ever produced an administration member?
I know they produce good cheese.

2. Tommy Thompson
Donna Shalala and Les Aspin in Clinton's administration.

Probably more. Those were off the top of my head.

6. Ok, all fairly well-known
But no President or Veep yet.

Yes, it's about time to have a non-southerner in the White House.

5. Never, ever underestimate the power of cheese
The right combination of strong blue cheese and aromatics into the digestive mix can clear rooms

8. Great minds post alike!
But I AM a cheesehead, and I can tell you this guy's the real deal. I will do whatever it takes to elect him.

People here in Wisconsin aren't afraid of being called cheeseheads.

22. Russ was the lone vote against the "Patriot Act"
McCarthy persecuted Americans for dissent; Russ *is* a dissenter...

12. But...but....but.....
He has been divorced TWICE! Nice of Stephanopolis to announce that little tidbit to the world.

15. And Russ, to his credit, ignored it.
Not worth responding to.

19. Yes, I know.....
And I never heard the subject discussed. Not once. But they damn sure talked about Kerry's divorce. I despise Stephanopolis.

21. We can't go back and change that, but we can throw it...
...in their faces this time around. Remember, WE are the Progressive media. Let's get the word out!

16. Russ did very well
It was a very good interview for Russ. He explained his reasoning and you could see that he is a principled leader with common sense ideas. The question about national security when all of Russ's votes against Bosnia, Kosovo, etc were brought had me backing up and running for cover and Russ hit it out of the park.

I was pleased with what he said about Alito and the Fillibuster and I had forgotton that Russ was outspoken against the compromise made by the Group of 14 on the Fillibuster.

When he was asked about being Jewish and divorced, he did not mention the divorce and focused on being Jewish. I think it would be sad if being Jewish is an issue in a Presidential campaign today. I do think the divorce issue could be issue though.

And the cheesehead comment was very funny and a great way to end the interview.

18. I didn't know that his sister was the first woman rabbi
in Wisconsin. Not a lot of rabbis in WI to begin with!
