			<title><![CDATA[John Nichols: Why Obama will win Wisconsin]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/tct/column//index.php?ntid=285772</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president, and he will win the critical swing state of Wisconsin by a comfortable margin.  That may seem like a bold prediction. But it was actually confirmed last week, when Obama had his best day on the campaign trail since he swept Wisconsin&#39;s Democratic presidential primary in February with 58 percent of the vote.  Obama went into the North Carolina and Indiana primaries with serious challenges to overcome. He ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, here we go again. Oil prices are now over $120 a barrel, and everyone, it seems, knows exactly what to do. Of course it depends on your perspective. If you&#39;re a member of Congress, you call for the umpteenth congressional hearing and harangue those rapacious, nasty oil executives. That&#39;s always good for a few votes. Unfortunately, such spectacles never amount to much.  If you&#39;re running for president, then you call for a moratorium on the ... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[John Oncken: Landmark silo gone, and perhaps its history, too]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/tct/column//index.php?ntid=285448</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ It was surely a landmark standing tall on the hill off Lake Kegonsa Road southwest of Stoughton in Dane County.  Obviously it was a silo of some sort, but what kind?  Farm silos come in many kinds:   -- Historic wooden stave, most of which remain are barely standing if at all.  -- Tile and brick, never very popular, are on rare occasions seen still standing lonesome in a field next to where a barn was located decades ago.  -- ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Erin Andrews was telling a Bo Ryan story on the way to the airport and her next assignment -- air time being an occupational hazard and occupation. Pick a day, any day, and there&#39;s a good chance that the ESPN sideline reporter will be in transit from one airport to the next, as dictated by her all-consuming schedule.  &quot;Sometimes you get home on a Sunday and leave on a Monday morning,&quot; she recounted, &quot;and I&#39;m not ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s been a tradition with my family to stop whatever we&#39;re doing during the late afternoon of the first Saturday in May and watch the Kentucky Derby.  My 17-year-old equestrian daughter, Liz, broke that tradition this year by announcing she could no longer watch the Derby or, for that matter, any other horse race.  &quot;It&#39;s too cruel,&quot; she said as she spun out the door just minutes before the race began. &quot;Horses always die.&quot;  It turns out she ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ LONE ROCK -- Kevin Barrett, the 9/11 skeptic whose questioning of the official story of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon drew fire from politicians when he held a one-semester appointment as an associate lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is about to push back at the politicians.  Barrett plans to announce soon that he will run as a Libertarian candidate against U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, the La Crosse Democrat who ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Nobody needs to remind Gov. Jim Doyle it&#39;s more fun being in charge during good times than bad.  Doyle had a rough ride the past couple of weeks, what with GM announcing it was eliminating a full shift at its Janesville plant, Harley Davidson cutting 370 jobs and Miller Brewing likely moving its headquarters out of Milwaukee. Talk about nameplate companies dissing the home team.  On the auto front, it was only 10 months ago that GM ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Doug Melvin wasn&#39;t expecting any sympathy from his rival general managers after the Milwaukee Brewers recently lost rising star right-hander Yovani Gallardo to an apparent season-ending knee injury.  Melvin actually expected the vultures to be circling after an MRI on May 2 revealed that the 22-year-old Gallardo had a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Gallardo collided with the Chicago Cubs&#39; Reed Johnson and twisted his right leg in the fifth inning of the ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/tct/column//index.php?ntid=284916</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Wisconsin Democrats should take note of a pattern that is developing nationally. Democrats are winning U.S. House seats that aren&#39;t supposed to be competitive -- seats like those held by Republican Congressmen Paul Ryan, Tom Petri and Jim Sensenbrenner.  In March, Democrat Bill Foster won the historically Republican Illinois seat that had been vacated by former House Speaker Dennis Hastert.  Then, on Saturday, Louisiana Democrat Don Cazayoux, a young moderate with state legislative experience, snatched a seat ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Wisconsin may have never produced a president, but the state has had more than its share of prominent national politicians throughout its history.  Fighting Bob La Follette was one of the first. History has judged him one of the five best U.S. senators to ever serve in Congress. And Nelson, Proxmire, Reuss, Kastenmeier, Obey have all played key roles in Congress. Except for Fighting Bob, a Progressive Republican, those names are all of prominent Democrats, but ... ]]></description>
