Well what've I been saying?

The Cap Times' John Nichols, writing about Tommy's presidential campaign:

...Thompson's ability to appeal to his fellow Wisconsinites makes him competitive for a place on the long short list of Republican vice presidential contenders. After all, Wisconsin has been at the top of the list of battleground states in four of the past five presidential elections.

Don't know how happy I am to have a lib like Nichols echoing something I've said a dozen times, but what the heck. Plenty of room on this bandwagon!
