Uppity Wisconsin

 McClatchy Newspapers reports President Obama to go the LBJ route, 34,000 more troops. If true, perhaps Obama can run in 2012 on a platform of 'not as many dead.'

From Iowa comes sanity and courage. United States candidate for the Iowa Democratic nomination for Senate, Bob Krause, became the first candidate for the U.S. Senate to call for a draw down of troops in Afghanistan at the Iowa Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner this year. Krause looks to knock down incumbent Republican Senator Sen. Chuck Grassley next year.
