McCain backers in Wis. say they don't trust polls WAUKESHA, Wis.

Thorson's 3-year-old and 7-year-old daughters were dressed like Palin outside the sports complex where McCain was to hold a noon town hall meeting. Kristi Czaplewski (CHAP-lew-skee) says she doesn't...

Rush Limbaugh played a clip from this rally 3 times on his show today. A real estate agent demands that McCain, if elected, investigate and prosecute those directly responsible for the mortgage mess. McCain gives a couple of scalps Killer audio from the rally in Waukesha. Go to about 40% of the way through (there are no time markers) to hear the woman ask the question and McCain’s great answer. The crowd goes crazy. Good stuff from Palin on abortion. Calls Obama out on his infanticide vote on BAIPA. There is also a guy yelling at McCain to stop the...

Board limits tree-cutting along lakes But some say rules unfair to private landowners By SCOTT WILLIAMS Posted: Nov. 23, 2004 Waukesha - A move to protect trees along Waukesha County lakefronts stirred a philosophical debate among county supervisors Tuesday on the role of government in safeguarding the environment.

Many supervisors opposed the measure, arguing that property owners should not be accountable to government when deciding whether to remove trees on their own land. "This, to me, is over-regulation," Supervisor Karl Nilson...

WAUKESHA, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) woke up in downtown Milwaukee Wednesday, but his campaign bus promptly headed for the suburbs and even farther out — Republican territory where aides believe his re-election hopes can flourish this year. Members of the Bush team say the rapidly growing suburbs and far-flung "exurbs" ringing cities such as Milwaukee and Green Bay, with their white, affluent, church-going populations, can counter the heavy Democratic turnout in urban areas and tip the balance in his favor. "If you're somebody who moved into Fond du Lac or West Bend in the last year...

Bush Fortifies Conservative Base Campaign Seeks Solid Support Before Wooing Swing Voters By Dana Milbank and Mike Allen Washington Post Staff Writers Thursday, July 15, 2004; Page A01 WAUKESHA, Wis., July 14 -- As President Bush addressed a rally here Wednesday, he performed the political equivalent of preaching to the choir. Bush won a whopping 65 percent of the vote in this suburban Milwaukee county in 2000, and the Republican Party, which dispensed tickets for the open-air speech, made sure the fairgrounds were packed with Bush loyalists.
