Enthusiastic Republicans

A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press notes that, among voters who plan to vote for a Republican, 58% are very enthusiastic about voting.

Apparently, though, Pew didn't ask the most important follow-up question. Which GOP party has your enthusiasm?

Confused? Read "The First Senator From the Tea Party". (2010 will be a year of Republican civil war, and Florida is where the fighting is now fiercest.)

Some Folks Had More Pressing Needs

Headlines from today's Wausau Daily Herald.

NTC job fair draws 2,000

About 1,000 protest government spending at 'Tea Party'

"About". I wonder if the Wausau group used the same crowd-counting techniques as Madison.

The organizers at the Madison rally estimated the crowd size at 5,000. That would be correct if you counted every one, including the curiosity seekers and lunchtime walkers, on the Square and the staff members and visitors inside the Capitol. Plus the desk staff at the Inn on the Park. Drop a zero and you're more likely to have an accurate count.

(I was there and took pictures. I made a point of stopping by during a midday bike ride.)
