It's always nice when there is news from my home state. We don't hear about Wisconsin too much out here in the Pacific Northwest. Actually, I do see a lot of WI plates and people wearing Badger gear. And C-SPAN has someone or another with a UW connection about once a week.
So to hear that Wisconsin's primary results are important is kind of nice. We are an oft overlooked state. I met a lot of Wisconsinites in Japan, actually. Wisconsin citizens seem to wind up in places out of proportion to our numbers. Maybe it's that farm ethic (not that I have it) or Midwest honesty and common sense (this I think I can claim). I don't know what it is, but it's nice to be from there. Previous Wisconsinites have laid the groundwork of good ambassadorship and I hope I follow in those footsteps, especially now that I'm going to be a sort of ambassador in countries where not so many tourists go.
I'm proud of the fact that as a Wisconsinite, I had a chance to vote for Herb Kohl and especially Russ Feingold. I'm a slight Obama leaner, but I love both Barack and Hillary. I will happily and willingly support either or both. I hope my Wisconsin readers enjoyed basking in the attention--while watching all those commercials I don't get to see because I am in Canada. On Wisconsin!
