Democratic Candidate, US Senate, Wisconsin 2012

Grand Theft Auto Kids mow down Soccer Moms

The demise of the Clinton campaign was sewn just after the 2004 election, when pollster Mark Penn sought to explain the Bush victory among so-called "values voters."

He found that uptight parents were less concerned with abortion than the idea of their kids watching "Sex in  the City," "pumped into their homes" which they'd never seen, and was then only on cable, and playing "violent videogames."

The next year, Senator Clinton held a press conference with Joe Lieberman and Republican Senators Santorum and Brownback, threatening the game industry with legal restrictiopns if they didn't "clean up their act."

Clinton allies introduced State Laws, with press releases claiming "86% of 16 year old boys play 'these' games."

Wisconsin prediction, by CD

Clinton's appearances today are about salvaging specific delegates. In DePere now to fight for the closest CD, Steve Kagen's 8th. It's pledged delegates split 3-3, but Kagen's vowed to cast his SuperD vote for the District winner. In Madison tonight, she's trying to hold the split to 5-3.

Just got an Obama robocall. Smart, he emphasises mechanics of voting in this Madison youth ghetto neighborhood. (informs you can register at polls, bring Photo ID plus proof of address.)

Last night, only Obama ads oln Fox adult cartoons. All positive. The Iraq one especially good.

Weather: Quite cold, but dry. Ok for rural voters, who've got quality coldweather gear. Not so good for seniors. Advantage, Obama.
