6. An expensive, TAYPAYER-FUNDED little prop, that AF One ...
Since when should that be allowed? If he was going there for some kind of business -- even one of his phony "town hall meetings" -- I could understand the "legality" of it, but just for FUNDRAISING???

:wtf:

7. Fundraiser for Nutso Mark Green
who just may knock out Dem Doyle as governor. Wisconsin is trending red and Doyle is in real trouble - policies generally really good - but has the personality and demeanor of a carp. We are talking NO "charisma" as well as constant negative slant by the major press in the state (Milwaukee Sentinel Journal. Add the anti-gay issue placed on the ballot and Green (bad, bad, bad) has a real shot. Expect more taxpayer funded visits by Bush Cheney et al until November.

8. I think the fundraiser was for John Gard who's running for Congress
in the 8th district, replacing Green. And I think that Doyle is doing better than you say. Most polls have him ahead of Green.
