Rudi Tuesday, but where to Vote?
MADISON, WI - Barack Obama is beginning to pull ahead.
Key victories Tuesday night in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, have given Obama a lead in pledged delegates, but more importantly, an increase in momentum over Hillary Clinton heading into next Tuesday's primary. As the results came in, Obama solidified his charge to a packed Kohl Center.
“We also know that at this moment the cynics can no longer say our hope is false. We have now won east and west, north and south, and across the heartland of this country we love.”
Obama has spent heavily on advertising in Wisconsin where his message is also bolstered by a significant ground operation. These efforts seem to be working as indicated by Obama's 11 point lead over Clinton in a poll released Wednesday. Clinton campaign strategists had been focusing on March 4th primaries in Texas and Ohio as a means to thwart Obama's win streak, but are now forced to reconsider Wisconsin.
Spokesperson Howard Wolfson commented, "The numbers are a concern, but Hillary is confident that Wisconsin voters will recognize her as the viable Democratic nominee."
Candidate viability is of little concern to two of the residents at Rudi Circle, a small culdesac of suburban serenity on the city's far Westside. Housemates Grease and GDub are firm in their support for Obama, but are less certain of the nearest polling location.
"Uh, we just moved here in August and have no idea where to cast our vote. Do we go to the firehouse, the rec center, or one of the hundreds of grade schools around here. You tell me," questioned GDub.
The two have spent the last six months assimliating to what GDub calls the 'yuppie culture.'
"Foresaking Mallard games for IKEA interior design runs is just one thing we've done to fit in. But our morals and convictions can never be rearranged. Like a lighter-green shade of grey, Obama works in any room."
Grease is quick to echo his friend's sentiments, and is determined to find the booth to do it in.
"The path of change in this country is clear. His name is Obama. The directions to vote for that change, not as much."

Check this link. You can enter your address and it will tell you where the nearest polling place is.
Isn't your YIFTM office a designated voting place?
I actually got a chance to see some of Obama's speech in Madison on the tele the other night. As sappy as it sounds, I got a little cloudy eyed.
I'm only going to say this once, but if dude gets elected, I'll finally be proud to call myself an American.
Thanks Fry for the info.
Hate to break it to you J. Dot, but you're not an African-American.
Even though he dropped out, I'm writing Kucinich in. He's a tiny-vegetarian. How can I not? Plus he's a Croatian Sensation.
I think we vote at a Starbucks. Zing!
Maybe we vote in an igloo.
Sorry J. Dot - read that wrong - proud to call yourself an "American."
