Editor's Note:

As I occasionally feel the need to do - I will point out that the opinions expressed by authors in Uppity Wisconsin are their own opinions, not the opinions of Uppity Wisconsin - Which is a little electronic box sitting in a rack in Minneapolis, and has no opinions of its own of which I am aware.    That being said, I think that people in the progressive sphere in the state have differing opinions on a large range of subjects, many of which I do not personally agree with.  One of the purposes of developing this site was to allow that discussion to occur in public.  As someone who enjoys the opinions of both Brenda Konkel and Warmmidwest, I'm not going to make an editorial decision to pull this piece, or Brenda Konkel's response.  On the other hand, I'd like to remind people that although we have different opinions on strategy and direction, it's also important to remember that those of us who are nominally progressive in one way or another have a lot more in common than we have differences, and certainly a lot more in common with each other than with the direction our country's politics have taken over the last 7 years. I'd like us to not lose sight of that.

Sure, she's a self-described progressive, but goly, jee-whiz, Ms. Konkel didn't vote in Wisconsin's primary because there wasn't a decent candidate to vote for and ... drum roll ...

She thinks Cynthia McKinney would make a fine president.

I'm completely puzzled as to why the Green Party never gains traction. <snark>
