Tony:
Apparently Mike Ellis noticed that you've come over to the conservative side of the aisle. Welcome.
Seriously: You and Jim did an excellent job reigning Mike in last week. You steered what could have become mere speechifying into one of the most enlightening discussions of the inner workings of the state I've seen. (Wisconsin Public Television's Weekend should view the tape and take notes.) He's proof that common-sense issues, like campaign finance reform and the elimination of the caucuses, know no partisan bounds.
