    Like other Wisconsinites, Rob Miller doesn’t know how many traffic roundabouts the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has installed on state highways since DOT started replacing selected intersections with roundabouts 15 years ago. Unlike other Wisconsinites, Rob Miller is a DOT spokesperson. “I don’t know. I don’t have those numbers,” Miller replied when asked how many roundabouts DOT has installed since 2000. In 1999, there were two traffic roundabouts in the entire state. Two years ago, the number was 268. At the time it was reported DOT had plans for more than 100 additional roundabouts. Miller acknowledged DOT has more roundabouts...

    A source on Rep. Joe Wilson's campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million -- and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller -- since his outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama's address to Congress Wednesday. ---Snip--- Still, Wilson's success -- despite having been criticized by Republican leaders -- represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms.

    Liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org is jumping on the Rob Miller fundraising bandwagon, 36 hours after Miller's 2010 opponent, Rep. Joe Wilson, yelled "You lie!" at President Obama. Miller, a Democrat working on a rematch, has raised more than $750,000 since then, and MoveOn.org sent an e-mail to supporters Friday asking them to help put the challenger campaign over the $1 million mark. A spokesman for Wilson says he's had a post-ouburst fundraising boost as well, that has topped $700,000. Wilson posted a video on his campaign Web site, where he also describes himself as sorry only up to a point:...

    Both Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) and his Democratic challenger have raised some serious cash since the congressman shouted "You lie!" during the president's address on Wednesday night. Wilson's outburst has netted his campaign about $200,000 in the past two days, CNN reported on Friday. The lawmaker has also embarked on a media blitz of sorts, taking to YouTube and Twitter to raise additional money while making his case against the president's health care plan.... But Wilson's spoils hardly compare to what his Democratic opponent, Rob Miller, has raised in recent days: more than $750,000. Miller has even turned Wilson's gaffe...

    Last night during President Obama's speech to the nation on health care reform from the floor of congress, a heckler or child depending on who you ask, yelled out "you lie" as President Obama was talking about illegal aliens not included in health care reform. Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) is responsible for the shout-out and the destiny's of at least two politicians were set in motion. The first being Rep. Wilson, right after the speech he received criticism from not only the left, but from the right as well. Senator Jon McCain (R-AZ) during an interview with CNN after the...

    His opponent is a guy named Rob Miller, and the nutroots KOS'rs are going bananas sending him cash... This is the ACTBLUE page they are sending the money through. http://www.actblue.com/directory/SC/all/fed-house What makes this even worse is that Joe Wilson WAS CORRECT. Even though the bill SAYS it will not provide funds for Illegal Aliens, SCOTUS has already ruled that excluding illegal aliens from government Healthcare Programs is ILLEGAL SEE: http://www.bu.edu/law/central/jd/organizations/journals/pilj/vol17no2/documents/17-2CheslerNote.pdf They put it in the Bill for COVER, KNOWING that SCOTUS would strike that part of it!!!
