Today's Sunday NYT has an analysis of my home state, Wisconsin, and how it might behave in the upcoming election. Wisconsin and Minnesota are politically similar; a weird dichotomy between old-school progressivism and reactionary conservatism. If I had to make a guess, I'd say that Wisconsin is more likely to go for Bush than Minnesota. Wisconsin voters have a strong independent streak that can manifest itself in surprising ways. The Dems need to turn out the vote in cities like Madison and Milwaukee in massive numbers as well as persuade the swing voters that are scattered throughout the Fox River Valley.
A resource for my female readers. The next time some creep at the bar or on the train bugs you for a phone number or e-mail address, give him anyname@papernapkin.net. This is the ego-crushing response he'll get. An elegant solution to an age-old problem.
