Senator McCain Visits La Crosse
Below is some of the video footage I took at the La Crosse McCain rally. When I stopped by the McCain victory center a couple of nights before the event I had some great conversations with volunteers and campaign staff. Clint, from the McCain campaign, was very knowledgeable and impressive. He arranged for the eighth graders from my kids' school to attend the rally and set us up in a very good spot. My deep thanks to Clint and all the volunteers who did a terrific job of making this such a memorable day.
The students were so excited to be taking part in this historic election. It was a real joy to see them have such a good time meeting the great leaders of our state and nation. They shook hands with Governor Tommy Thompson, Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, State Senator Dan Kapanke, congressional candidate Paul Stark, and John and Cindy McCain.
If you have photos or video of your own I would love to share them on this blog. Please contact me if you would like to share.
State Senator Dan Kapanke Fires up the Crowd
This is one of the greatest guys you could ever meet. He's a seed salesman in the "real world" and also owns the La Crosse Loggers baseball team with his wife Ruth. He was elected to the state senate in 2004 and you really cannot meet a nicer guy.
