"Uh, No Super Tuesday in Wisconsin" (Wisconsin voters turn out just a little early)
WTMJ Radio ^ | February 5, 2008 | Jay Sorgi

Super Tuesday, the biggest primary day of the year. 24 states making their decisions on Democratic and Republican nominations for President.

But Wisconsin isn't one of those states.

Apparently, Ethel Goodwin didn't get the message when she saw a Today's TMJ4 story on Super Tuesday.

"We were listening to the news and they were saying that Super Tuesday, and all the state, I figured that included Wisconsin," said Goodwin.

"Probably, I just misunderstood."

She wasn't alone at her local polling place, 53rd Street School on Milwaukee's north side.

"There were about six to 10 other people standing outside waiting to go in, also, at 6:30."

All getting in line early...two weeks early.

"They just let us know that Wisconsin wasn't in Super Tuesday, and as far as they knew, it was going to be February 19th."

And Ethel's set her alarm for that date.

"I'll be there again at 6:30 in the morning."

Is it any wonder why Wisconsin has Jim Doyle, Herb Kohl, Russ Feingold and Gwen Moore?

More Huckleberry voters...maybe with Obama and Hillary voters thrown in for good measure.

In that part of town, they would all be Obama or Hillary voters.

Now, if Huckabee was willing to give out some cigarettes...

That area of Milwaukee is very liberal. It's most likely Ethel is a democrat.

Maryland’s primary is next Tuesday. Of course, the MSM will have picked my candidate for me, so I won’t have to actually vote.

/s off

I'd love to see a picture of that.

The liberal morons of Wisconsin keep voting in these democrats and then they wonder why WI is going down crapper and why taxes are extremely high.

These early voters in Wis. were also disapointed that there were no free packs of cigarettes with each vote cast for a democrat.

Yup. Someone's stupidity is the fault of others. The civil rights coalition brought us this joke.
