Hey, I'm registered to go here next weekend

I am posting this because I am so excited about Massachusetts finally getting excited about electing Dems. (87% of all office holders statewide are Dems. I know we can do better!) Anyway, this seems like a nice event and I was wondering if anyone here has been to anything like it.

2. Wisconsin is shackled with republicans

They control the state Senate :( But at least Dem Gov. Doyle has a nice line-item veto, and has used it more than once. :)

3. Sounds fun and interesting

Only 87% - taking over the Governship and the Lt Governship would increase that percent nicely.

4. I do want to hear about it

I need to find something similar here. So many of our volunteers, myself included, could use some training.
Sounds like fun, too.
