Here is his first stop in Madison, WI. This blog is great and it has a link to Zulch's video with the speech there.
Wisconsin Grassroots DemocratsHere is Fred's diary from the rest of the tour. I think the good reception there in the those red states show that people are getting very tired of this administration's screw-ups.
DNC diary of Western Tour"The Governor and I had the best time on our recent Western swing. I was blown away by the crowds. Everywhere we went, hundreds of people turned out to hear what we had to say.
You already know about the Madison event, but like a snowball rolling down a hill, the crowds kept building. Over 125 people turned out for a picnic event the next day in Golden, Colorado and about 300 people came to see the Gov in Denver that evening.
A good Dem by the name of Albert played "Happy Days Are Here Again" on the clarinet as we walked into the rally in Denver and I think the choice of music was very fitting. Even though some of these states are so-called red states, many Western states used to be controlled by Dems, it's just a question of getting them back. And the work is already underway, as the Gov said to the Denver folks: "Coloradans turned Colorado from red to purple and the DNC is going to help you turn it from purple to blue."
After a fun night out in the LoDo section of Denver, it was off to Boise. I had never been to Idaho and now I can't wait to get back. Not only is it beautiful, but the State Party really has their act together and is committed to winning more state seats. Thanks to the DNC money invested in Idaho, the State Party has already hired a communications director and a fundraiser.
It was 100 degrees in Boise, but that didn't stop 500 people from coming to Julia Davis Park in the middle of the afternoon to hear our speech."
There is lots more at the DNC diary.
A neat pic borrowed from the WI blog.
