Cool.

Ann Romney was in Milwaukee and I took a drive there.

Wisconsin has some of the best conservative woman warriors. You guys should have heard Rebecca Kleefish and Alberta Darling. Paul Ryan's sister-in-law was pretty good too.

Ann started off slow but got better as she went on.

What was amazing was the local lib rag actually reported fairly accurate attendance figures---4,000. That's a lot for a town that isn't that big, maybe 60k population. And for all the attention that the media gave the protestors, there were reported to be 100 there. From our count, it was closer to 30 or 40.

Some of them broke through during Mitt's speech. They were waving a flag that looked like the one for the Muslim Brotherhood. Everyone started yelling USA to cover up their noise til the cops removed them.

Another thing that was different---there weren't just Sarasota police there. I stopped to ask a cop where they took those lovely Muslim looking people. He said he didn't know, but I noticed that his badge said NYPD. They're importing them a long way for these dog and pony shows.

Thought that Mitt did a good job. I'm even more convinced that he has a chance. There was such a large, enthusiastic crowd. And yesterday when I pulled into the Publix parking lot, there was a group of demonstrators. It turned out it was a group of middle aged and seasoned citizens with MITT signs.
