The Finish Line

In case you haven’t heard, next Tuesday is Election Day when our nation will choose its next President.

This is no time for complacency and each campaign is struggling mightily to turn out its supporters and maintain a full court press through this last week.

Here in Wisconsin we are truly fortunate to have the option of early voting. There is every reason to believe that turnout will break all records and exceed 70 percent which would truly be a magnificent thing. So it may prove to be a great timesaver to vote early.

The Obama campaign has built an admirable organization here but there is still work to be done and volunteer shifts to be filled. Nobody wants to wake up Wednesday morning and regret not doing more. So step up to the plate, Wisconsin, and volunteer to get out the vote.

Also, I encourage you to check out the clever video that was produced by the Obama campaign to motivate Milwaukee voters to turn out and vote for the Democrat. It has some fun with a 2004 quote by Sen. McCain when he said he wouldn’t want to live in Milwaukee. It’s entertaining and amusing (though I could have lived without the image of a certain statue holding an Obama sign).

So, by all means, vote. Vote early, Vote on Election Day. Whatever. Just vote.

It’s good for what ails ya.
