Cheese heads for the win

Still a little brain fogged from the long trip back from Mongolia. But I encourage readers to click on this short introduction to Senator Robert La Follette, Wisconsin's fighting champion of the people. (By way of Heather Cox Richardson.)

They don't make public servants like this very often. He has great hair, doesn't he?

The narrator is Ben Wikler, the guy who seeded serious Democratic political organizing in the Cheese Head state over the last decade. His project may well result in a Democratic sweep of state offices this November. I've bought Wikler's book, This Is The Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy, and will comment further when I get to it.
