Milwaukee

HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA shared a room on Saturday night, speaking at the Wisconsin Democratic party’s Founders Day gala. Two-thousand Democratic donors packed a ballroom in downtown Milwaukee while 400 others bought tickets to sit in an overflow room and watch the event on closed-circuit television. And people say there’s nothing to do in Wisconsin.

Senator Clinton did not have her best night, veering from the banal to the ridiculous. “It’s time we started acting like Americans again,” she noted solemnly. Speaking about Iraq, she observed that, “We are an honorable country and we have to withdraw in a way that keeps faith with the sacrifice of those who have been lost.” And looking forward to the general election, she said that John McCain “is a good man, with the wrong ideas.”
