1. Here in La Crosse I have actually seen very few ads, but it's likely I just missed them.
There has been hard work done to get out the vote and hopefully that bears fruit. Democrats should understand by now how important it is to turn out and vote and not have to be begged and persuaded to do what they should already feel a duty to do.

I voted at my city clerk's office here in La Crosse on Monday of last week. I understand that day 94 people voted there.

2. After all that has happened, all the protests, etc. NO EXCUSES if Dems don't re-take the Senate.

4. If there is delight because the turnout was 40%, that will mean thousands of Dems chose not to vote.
Voting is vital, especially in any close elections. In these recall elections Democrats should be much more motivated to vote and that should make the difference.

There is still early voting at the city clerk's office through Friday of this week. It is so very easy and then it's done and you don't have to worry about it on election day.

5. I know. It's just plain annoying.
Yesterday I watched the noon channel 2 news out of Green Bay, and there were FIVE ads in a row.

All of them nasty.
