I found it quite ironic that the Gazette predicts such a miserable turnout when so little has been done to inform and educate. Where were the candidate profiles? Where were the previous articles on the issues? I remember one article from a month ago. So yeah, turnout will likely be low as even those who care to vote have a good chance of not remembering.
As is my habit, I will mull over my choice right up to when the curtain closes behind me in the voting booth. I am leaning a bit toward Sandy Decker lately. She is the only one I have gotten literature from. Besides, I owe her father serious payback for being instrumental in starting my seven years in City politics.
Mike Anderson is an intriguing choice and I am always supportive of the rabble rouser alder. I just wish I knew more about how he would act on different issues.
Karen is the "safe" status quo choice. That isn't necessarily a good thing, but is a comfortable choice.
I look forward to the Observer gettting the results out!

"Clowns to the Left of me, Jokers to the Right. Here I am stuck in the Middle with you." (Rafferty & Egan) A Wisconsin Blog from a Nebraska Democrat.
About Me
- Name: Walton
- Location: Evansville, Wisconsin, United States
The Summer we moved to Wisconsin from Nebraska, we visited the Rock County (4-H) Fair. Being raised a Democrat, I went to the County Dem Party booth to sign up. However, during the 15 minutes I stood there, they were to busy talking with each to notice me. Somewhat taken aback, I walked over to the Republican booth to see what they had to offer. However, they had seen me coming from the Democrat table and refused to recognize my existence. With this, I was properly introduced to and instructed in Wisconsin politics.

YOu are correct - Gerry RAfferty and Joe Eagan's Stealers Wheel. Don't know where I read the Dylan thing, but you are correct.
Need to do my homework next time!
By the way - I was #474 in the voting booth. Still had an hour to go. They were using photocopied ballots as they had run out of the regular ones.
