Obama's got two new events listed. Funny thing is that there's no events listed for today or tomorrow.

Feb 15 Stand for Change Rally with Barack Obama
in Green Bay, WI

2. I love Wisconsin place names
They're fun to say.

"Oshkosh! Oshkosh!"

"Sheboygan!"

5. Try Winneconne
Most of the fun ones originate from various Ojibwa tribes or language.

...as well as some french trappers and explorers dating back 1673 and farther.

3. Maybe he's taking a tiny break for Valentine's Day.
I know that sounds lame, but in an interview on Larry King Monday, Michelle said that Barack hasn't missed a single parent-teacher conference since this campaign began. She said he took the girls out trick-or-treating and comes home and participates in all family activities. Plus he needs a tiny respite. Well, it's a thought.

4. For Obamites this good ...smart move. Shows his staff knows the state.

The corridor running from Fon Du Lac (Just south of Oshkosh) north to Green Bay, a narrow 80 mile stretch, is where this primary will be won or lost. The Fox Valley is in the center of this strip (Blue collar, lots of industry, manufacturing, paper mills, white conservative and old money there).

Curious to see the crowd he pulls in Green Bay.
