Candidates' Last Minute Pitches to Wisconsin Voters

By Jeralyn

Barack Obama's speech last night referenced Martin Luther King, Jr. and J.F.K and was about hope and change.

Michelle Obama, at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater, weighed in with this:

"Barack understands that what we're lacking in this nation are will and hope," she said. "Our souls are broken."

Beyond corny. I find it somewhat offensive for her to proclaim my soul is broken.

Hillary's speech centered on economic issues and was aimed at middle-class voters. More here.

Oh, and Hillary, we learn today, is a beer-lover. [More...]

And after offering to have a beer with voters at her last stop in Madison, WI, she expressed her fondness for a good brew, saying she’s been known to work “both sides of the beer aisle.” Glass of wine in hand, she said a particular favorite on the road is a wheat beer called Blue Moon — which she likes with an orange dropped in.

[/sarcasm, even I think that one was an attempt to get votes.]
