Seemed upbeat to me. What's interesting is that the press failed to cover this type of activity until after the election. It went under their radar screen.

Actually, I read at least 2 articles about this BEFORE election day. I think both of them were posted on FR. A search would probably turn them up.

The first thing I noticed were some pictures taken at a Bush Rally that clearly showed some Amish farmers in the front row. That surprised me. Later I read an article that said that their elders recommended voting this year.

I read of concerted efforts with the Amish in PA and in OH. I don't know if any efforts were made in Wisconsin. I read one article that said that the new Amish voters made the winning difference in a couple of counties in OH.
