It seemed an unlikely place. But then so was Gettysburg. If you asked anyone at about the time the Tea Party started if Wisconsin would be a major battleground, I don’t think they would have agreed.

We’re Gonna Debate This on C-Span
There is no lack of video clips where Obama spoke to the voters and told them straight up that if he is elected the debate on health care would be open. So open, it would be carried on C-Span. I have not heard the speech from Obama where he says that he has demanded others in his party (Reid and Pelosi) to put this on C-Span but they flat out refused. If you can say that Bush lied, certainly what Obama did is a whopper of a lie. So where is the vanguard of veracity, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews of the leg tingle, Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, the Daily Kos, et al? Can anyone say, fair and balanced?
