++Mitt Romney regaled a Wisconsin audience with a tale of how his father closed a Michigan auto plant and moved production to Wisconsin. While running for Governor, his father tried to keep the fact hidden from voters. But the band for the campaign kept breaking out with the song "On Wisconsin". So that's why he feels a kindred spirit with Wisconsin. The current governor of Wisconsin is waging a war on labor and has the worst job creation record in the country. And the story only reminds the audience of how rich Romney is and that he didn't back the auto bailout.
++The CNN poll reflects Romney's heartwarming appeal. President Obama now leads Romney 54-43, which is a nice improvement over last months 51-46. The poll shows Obama picking up women and independents.
++Today's Supreme Court hearings were not as apocalyptic as my feelings in the previous post suggested. Fat Tony said he couldn't be bothered reading the whole bill but suggested it would be unfair to throw out all parts of it if they got rid of the individual mandate. The other judges indicated they might have to accept it, although they wanted parts re-written. Clement, the States' lawyer, suggested that if it went back it might get mired in the process. Which raises a question--Do the judges realize we live in a Democracy? None of them seemed to have a clue as to the complexity of drafting and passing such legislation. But there were glimmers that they actually may be hesitating overruling something they haven't read.
