Veteran Madison newsman Tim Morrissey wishes he could vote for Paul, but alas, he lives a few hundred feet outside of Madison city limits. That's not stopping Tim from making his preference known:
I can’t vote for Paul Soglin. But that’s only because I don’t live in the city of Madison. If you live in the city, I strongly suggest you vote for Hizzoner. I believe so strongly that Paul is the right man for the job at the right time, that I may just wander over to the polling place for the 57th Ward, where I used to live, see if I’m still on the voter list (it’s only been 16 years) and cast a vote or two for Paul.
... I’ve known Paul for 23 years, personally and professionally, and I’ve never seen him more energized and more ready to take on and solve the challenges ahead for Madison. Dave has done a decent job of running the city, but Paul is uniquely qualified to guide Madison through the minefield the Walker administration has created for Madison and Dane County. (emphasis added)

April 6. The chickens are still asleep, but it is the end of the beginning. Just wanted to be the first to offer congratulations here and say HIZZONER! There's music in that word this morning.
