The host went off air to get the information from the caller to turn it over.

Good. If someone gets it out on Rush, maybe the truckers will spot the caravan.

I want it to be a true story, because it would be not a nice story to tell if it were untrue.

If you remember the JFK quote, "Ich bin ein Berliner" translates into "I am a Jelly Doughnut". The word ein makes the quote become "I am the food for which the city is famous". Kennedy should have said: "Ich bin Berliner"

A comparable mistake in English would be saying "I am a danish" rather than "I am Danish"

Thanks MNlurker - I was listening to Mitch Henck on WIBA.

If you (or anyone else) wants to keep watch for these busses there are a coupe of god spots to do so.

I-94 at 132 (Grand Ave) - has both east and west (north and south in reality) entrance / exits from the tollway. This is the last big exit before you get to wisconsin on 94. best route to Milwaukee and the larger south eastern population centers (kenosha, racine)

I-39 / I-90 and hwy 51 - by beloit WI. Another large “artery” into WI fast way to get to Madison.

Hwy 12 at hwy 173 - Richmond Illinois, another popular route into WI. However there are many roads along HWY 173 (largest east - west road this far north in Illinois).

During the election for the second term of Bush there were ALOT of “unknown” people showing up at polling places in smaller towns along the border, pleasant prairie for example... along with the issues in larger population centers.

Steve Hayes (FOX, Weekly Standard) is on WTMJ right now, with excellent analysis.

I took a call from my wife’s union a couple of weeks ago. We live in MN and they were recruiting people to go to WI to canvass against Scott Walker. I almost volunteered just to see what it was like and if anything illegal was going on. Unfortunately I have a real job and couldn’t get away.

Steve Hayes makes a prediction: a Walker win by a sizeable margin, perhaps even as much as 7 to 8 points. That would be huge!

Wife just called after voting, said it's kinda stunning filling out a ballot with just 2 choices and commented on what a waste of tax money to stage this election for spoiled children.

The entire recall was a huge waste of resources, but the Democrats and their union thugs don't care--it's all taxpayer money.

Here's to hoping the good guys win and when they do, I hope the GOP grills the Democrats with the simple message: Democrats = waste, fraud and abuse.

When I learned German, that Kennedy quote made me laugh so hard!!

Still, if you risk learning a language, you WILL make such mistakes. On a ship, when my French was not yet so fluent, I asked for a sea sickness pill and mimed the motions of the waves going up and down. Sadly I had asked for a birth control pill, so the motions were oddly even more appropriate! (blush!)

It is a wise thing to be nervous anytime anything that involves a Democrat is going on. They are evil incarnate,there is no level they won’t stoop to.

From your lips to GOD's ears. Prayers from the People's Socialist Republic of Illinois. BTW, is there any way we could borrow Walker for a while, to clean up s##thead Quinn's mess?

Prediction: Look for WI to do what FL is doing NOW, purging out the voter roles of any “dead” or “illegal” voters.

I’m hearing *very* heavy turnout all across the state. I assume that is good for Walker?
