19. Can't do anything until he gets the first check
and he doesn't get paid unless he is elected.

But that is still a very good question. :bounce:

9. You got that right!
Just got done making snow angels in -15 wind chill, which is much warmer than it was earlier today. The weather is an absolute non-factor here in West-Central Wisconsin.

24. I like the whatever part
:hi: MN is where I learned to x-country ski and I loved the fact there were outdoor ice-skating rinks everywhere. Really nice people too. In fact, my bil has lived there for 24 years now. He'll never leave.

15. I braved the cold!
They think 8 degrees is cold! Pah! Should have seen it a few weeks ago when it was well below zero.

The sun is out shining brightly--not a cloud in the sky. I put on my warm socks, boots and wind-proof down jacket and was just fine, thanks.

28. They can't claim low voter turnout because of it being a nice beach day.
Look at the bright side.

30. Voter Turnout Begins Surging Across Wisconsin- highest turnout in 20yrs
One and a-half million voters are expected to flock to polling places in Wisconsin today.

That would be about 35 percent of eligible voters and the strongest turnout in 20 years.

At one polling place in Washington County's Germantown, nearly four dozen people had voted in the first 20 minutes it was open.
