Just hold on everyone, because Western Wisconsin has some plans in the works, and I believe the momentum will be more than sufficient to unseat Ron Kind and Dave Obey. As far as radar recognition, Ron Kind and Dave Obey really don't do anything that would make them important in Congress. Thus, they don't receive Green or Sensenbrenner type attention. When the 3'rd and 7'th go Red, I am sure that the deserved attention will be granted. I had the opportunity to visit with Nick and Beth Reid this past weekend, and they are aware of the challenges.

Not to be a pessamist, in many ways, they are right... Unless Reid is waiting, I have yet to see a major effort to reach voters other than being on radio or have a headquarters open. I live in very pro-Republican area. No one knows who Nick Reid is... he's got a lot of work if he's going to have even a chance. He cannot win because he's Pro-Life and Pro-Marriage. He needs to focus on economic development, solutions for fiscal responsibility, energy and immigration. Most of all, he just needs to get out there and meet the voters... Remember the 85/15 rule (85% is name recognition, 15% is issue driven). Other races could be focussed on just as well, I.E. the 3rd District... However they are not...
