I lived in Menomonee Falls a long time ago from around 1959 through 1968. Remember a hill called "Killer Hill" in that town that to a kid had all the fear of it instilled from a name like that, my older brother who visited Menomonee Falls to relive that part of his childhood said that "Killer Hill" is about ten feet high.

Does not Wisconsin have a history of socialist politicians? I had a live-in girlfriend of about a year while working at the U of MN Law Library who claimed to be related to Governor or maybe a Mayor from Wisconsin who was a socialist. Think this may be the guy-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_P._Zeidler-- not sure though. And I am not exactly in contact with that old flame of mine to ask.

I do hope like chelsea24 that a politician takes the White House who has the myth behind him or her like John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Ronald Reagan. Do not see that in Hillary Clinton who just looks like an extremely savvy Washington, D.C. game player. Senator Barack Obama might be that man but his exact positions on various issues are very hard to get a handle on. http://www.votesmart.org/npat.php?can_id=9490

Personally, I am a centrist with a registration as a Democrat but sometimes like in 2000 for vote Republicans like George W. Bush. Never thought we should have started the war with Iraq but now that we are there should try to make sure that all that investment in blood, oil, and money somehow stabilizes Iraq. Not sure that can be done in any way though.
