Subtitled:  How Tammy Baldwin Got my Vote For Senate Photo Credit:  Edible Planet It's a given in my opinion in any election that candidates work hard to be elected.  I'm not 'in' with whatever the political 'in crowd' is.  I avoid most all of the political shows on television or radio because I find that most of the hosts are biased, slanted in one political direction or the other which means I am not getting 'the truth' but their truth as they know it which is often untrue, unfair and unnecessary.

He continued to get more.  I learned of this happening through my daughter. Much to this man's delight, my daughter sometimes seeks him out, spec...
