As a Wisconsin resident all I can say it yay another election. Pretty sure she doesn't ride, most of her time is spent cashing daddy's checks.

And as another WI resident, even if she does ride, there's no correlation between that and political competency. And the attack ads on both sides have already started -- in March. Just waiting for the robocalls to begin...

I have to wonder what possible good robot calls can do. Does anyone even listen to them? How many people (like me) are so fed up with them that the results are negative?

All they do for me is make sure it's a tick against that particular candidate for pissing me off for answering a stupid robo call. It always boils down to the lesser of two weasels anyway.:)
