A few pre-primary tidbits from my favorite freezing city between the lakes:
Say what you will about Althouse, she's smart, funny, and not to be pigeonholed. The one thing that makes me sad about not getting into UW Law is that I won't be able to take her Constitutional Law class.
Also, a group of people who may or may not be University of Wisconsin students write that Hillary would be a good POTUS because...she was a good mom? The Badger Herald was started as a "conservative" alternative to the other student newspaper at UW during the 60's. I always preferred the Herald, even though I thought some of their editors, including my cousin Jonathan Tannenwald's high school classmate Mac VerStandig were possibly insane sometimes, at least they had some backbone. I still read Mac's blog and sometimes he even manages to praise the right Dem candidate and call out the wrong one for being a liar.
So, at my alma mater, two "conservatives" who have some serious intellectual chops either voting for and defending Obama, while the best the Hillraisers can come up with are some old friends of Chelsea who, one of Andrew Sullivan's guest bloggers described as growing up in "Upper Caucasia" (so, so true) talking about how Hillary helped them when their high school boyfriends broke up with them?
You don't need a weatherman...
(ok, I have a SuperShuttle in 3 hours. more from California, or maybe during my layover in Texas if I can manage to stay awake. cheers.)
