McCain Campaigns in Wisconsin Today
(CBS)
(MILWAUKEE) – It will be a day of cheeseheads, bratwursts, and talk of Green Bay football for the next day and a half for John McCain. He holds the first of three Wisconsin rallies at noon today with Sarah Palin in the traditional Republican stronghold of Waukesha, followed by an afternoon event in conservative Mosinee.
McCain’s campaign has indicated that they are trying to shore up areas of support, rather than expand the electoral map and try to turn more Democratic areas to the Republican side. While the race here in Wisconsin was tight a few weeks ago, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have opened up a five point lead in the latest polls.
The presidential race has been tight in Wisconsin the past eight years, with Democrats Al Gore and John Kerry winning the state by only a few thousand votes. No Republican candidate has won the state, though, since 1984.

Why not just sit back a have the victory party....
And why the voter cheating by the Dem run and funded ACORN?
If it''s in the bag, why cheat?
I guess it must be closer than you what to believe...
Zogby (only one to predict with exact accuracey the last 2 Pres. elections)
Obama 48
McCain 45
+/- 3
Sounds like a dead heat, again.
Better cheat some more, just to make sure you win.
I don%u2019t want to hear this *** that TROOPERGATE is politically motivated and that the AYERS connection isn%u2019t. American people are not stupid. One thing we can%u2019t stand is a hypocrite.
I%u2019m upset that the media televises McCain''s hypocrisy when applying the standard of truth for Obama yet ignores his effort in covering up his VP involvement in TROOPERGATE. If judgment is what McCain is questioning about Obama, shouldn%u2019t the American pubic question McCain%u2019s judgment for picking a VP that may be using her powers for personal reasons? Especially after 8 years of *** Chaney. After all, Palin''s character could be a heart beat away from the Presidency if McCain is elected. If McCain wants the American pubic to decide what is true, than let Palin testify. She seems to have some CHARACTER flaws so she is the last person who should be pointing fingers
The media keeps dropping the ball. Everything McCain seems to criticize about Obama seems to apply in his own campaign.
And how does John McCain''s collaborating with the enemy make him a hero? No discussion either of Todd Palin having his nose in Governmental business and the business of the Mayor. People state they could not have a meeting with Sarah Palin without Todd being there and of course he has his nose in Troopergate. He was not an employee of the State but a citizen. Makes you wonder if he''d need to sit in on meetings at the White House since he''s such an important fisherman and all.
Why do we not hear of John McCain''s ties to the gambling casino''s in Vegas?
I find it interesting that Colin Powell, a close personal friend of McCains for 27 years, refuses to endorse him.
And why is this stuff never mentioned? Because Obama is an honorable man trying to run an honorable campaign.
All of the TOP PEOPLE in the McCain campaign are CORPORATE LOBBYISTS
Campaign CEO - Rick Davis, Partner at lobbying firm Davis Manafort (including $2 MILLION from FAILED FINANCIAL FIRMS)
National Campaign Director- Christian Ferry, Associate at lobbying firm Davis Manafort
National Political Director- Mike Dennehy, Founder, The Dennehy Group, a New Hampshire lobbying firm
National Finance Director- Susan Nelson - lobbyist for Loeffler Group LLC. Continued taking monthly lobbying payments after starting with McCain''s campaign
Senior Policy Advisor- David Crane. Senior Executive at The Washington Group, a corporate lobbying firm billing $10.4 million in 2006
Senior Foreign Policy Adviser - Randy Scheunemann. McCain''s PRIMARY Foreign Policy Adviser. A lobbyist for FOREIGN COUNTRIES, including Georgia (that was just in a war with Russia). OOPS.
National Finance Co-Chair - Tom Loeffler Owns one of the most lucrative and influential lobbying firms in Washington.
Regional Campaign Manager- Doug Davenport ran DCI''s lobbying practice. Forced to leave when exposed that he LOBBIED FOR the REPRESSIVE REGIME IN BURMA
Campaign Spokesman- Charlie Black - chairman of BKSH & Associates, lobbying billings $7.6 million in 2006
Phil "Americans are whiners" Gram - created this economic crisis.
Barack Obama has no lobbyists on the payroll or serving as key advisers.
So we MAKE THE CRIMINALS WHOLE (THEY LOSE NOTHING) and the TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT?
McCain is OUT OF HIS MIND. WHICH Washington LOBBYIST told him to do this for their BANKING CLIENTS?
SHOULD AMERICANS BE ANGRY? DUH!
We wont.

See all 16 CommentsYard signs during the last two weeks have dramatically shifted for Obama. I do not recall any candidate ever having the current edge in yard signs.
Yard signs don''t indicate a win, but they do indicate enthusiasm is significantly higher for Obama than McCain in Wisconsin.
After the last debate, water cooler talk indicates Obama won a lot of undecideds over.
McCain''s "that one" comment hurt him with Independents.
McCain''s billions more in mortgage bailout hurt him significantly with all Wisconsin voters.
