| Description | Over the last few weeks, I've had occasion to travel to conferences in Rochester, New York, Washington, D.C., and Chattanooga, Tennessee. In each city, I have had the chance to see people from all over the country, and all they wanted to talk about was our current "troubles." My insights on land use, cities and transportation policy? Yeah, whatever. What they really wanted to know is if the recalls would be successful.
The typical conversation starter goes something like, "What in the heck is going on in Wisconsin these days?" Then they ask questions that reveal that they've been following us closely. What are the chances the Dems can take back the Senate? How many signatures does it take to recall the governor? Did that one justice really try to strangle that other justice?
Wisconsin is replacing those afternoon soap operas that are getting cancelled right and left. We're better than anything on reality TV. And now that the Blago saga in Illinois is wrapping up, our ratings should soar even higher. |
